Susan Collins GOP Primary Has Been Called

A New York Times investigation detailed accounts from multiple ex-partners who described Platner’s behavior as “unsettling,” “reckless,” and “toxic.”

One former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, alleged that during an argument years ago, Platner twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door shut while telling her to “calm down.”

Other women recalled him being demeaning toward women, heavy drinking, and emotionally volatile relationships.

Platner has denied any physical violence, calling himself a “bad boyfriend” in the past while attributing issues to PTSD from his service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
