Abby Broyles had been accused of berating young girls during a slumber party. Broyles eventually confirmed the events, though she has also said she can’t remember what she said after drinking wine and using a medication "that helps you relax."
"I want to say sorry from the bottom of my heart, I apologize for any hurt or damage or trauma that my behavior, when I didn’t know what I was doing, caused. I’m deeply sorry," Broyles previously told KFOR-TV.
In her announcement, Broyles said she received a bombardment of calls from people after the incident, including calls to kill herself. She said she later "drank heavily" and took sleeping pills in a suicide attempt that was unsuccessful.
Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.), who currently holds the seat, is running for re-election.
