Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas is making accusations of blackmail in the aftermath of an alleged affair he had with a staffer who later committed suicide by lighting herself on fire.
Gonzales' former staffer Regina Santos-Aviles reportedly sent a text to her co-worker in April 2025 claiming to have had an "affair" with their "boss." Just months later, in September, Santos-Aviles took her own life.
Gonzales, who is married with children, is now accusing a lawyer representing Santos-Aviles' husband, Adrian Aviles, of blackmail.
'You are guilty and should resign.'
"I WILL NOT BE BLACKMAILED," the Trump-endorsed congressman said in a post on X Thursday. "Disgusting to see people profit politically and financially off a tragic death."
"The public should IMMEDIATELY have full access to the Uvalde Police report," Gonzales added. "I will keep fighting for #TX23."

Gonzales also posted an apparent screenshot of a message from Aviles' lawyer, Robert J. Barrera, offering a settlement and nondisclosure agreement. Barrera confirmed to Blaze News that the communication was from his firm on behalf of Aviles as part of a "confidential settlement negotiation" that was sent to Gonzales' lawyers on February 10.
"What Tony printed is not the entire email, clearly," Barrera told Blaze News. "... He cut out the significant reason of why we were attempting to settle and the evidence we had."
Barrera noted that the discreet nature of the communication goes against the claim that he intended to blackmail the congressman as Gonzales had claimed.
"What I guess Tony, in his anger and rage, doesn't read is that letter clearly states we had no intention of wrecking his political career," Barrera told Blaze News. "Had we intended that, we would have not engaged in settlement communications. We would have just filed and gotten all the publicity we could in suing him for sexual assault and retaliation and office harassment, which is all covered under the Congressional Accountability Act."
"In his desperate rage, Tony Gonzales went public with our attempts to settle the case under a confidentiality agreement, which is beyond common in these situations."
Gonzales' office did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Notably, Aviles replied to Gonzales' post, denying the blackmail accusation and issuing a scathing rebuke of the congressman for what he called a "consistent pattern of evasion, refusal to take accountability, and outright lies to protect [his] image."
"You’re a classic case of a two-faced politician who says whatever is convenient to save face," Aviles said in the post. "We chose to hold back the full police report and body cam footage for one reason only it shows my wife suffering severe burns in horrific detail. I will not allow that graphic material to become accessible to our 8 year old son in the future when he is old enough to search for or come across it."
"Nothing in that police report protects you, that decision is about protecting our child’s well-being, not concealing anything improper," Aviles added. "Your actions have been disgraceful, and you continue to mislead your constituents with falsehoods. You may avoid responsibility here on earth, but one day you will answer to a higher authority. Today, though, you still answer to the people you represent—people who deserve the truth, not more deception."
Gonzales' primary opponent Brandon Herrera, a gun YouTuber who nearly unseated the Texas Republican in 2024, also sounded off on social media in a post on X.
"You are guilty and should resign."

Most guys buy their clothes too small.
It’s something I’ve noticed consistently over years spent working with guys to help them dial in their fits and refine their closets. A certain amount of my work often involves helping a guy realize that he is, simply, no longer a medium.
One of the most common shirt-tucking errors I see is what I call the mannequin look.
It’s not his fault, it’s not because he got fat, it’s just he grew as we all grow, and he didn’t update his sizing to reflect the fact that he is 31 now, not 21. Sometimes he has an inkling that this is the case, and it’s my job to help confirm his suspicions.
Stay looseSome of it is also that we are in the long process of coming out of the decade-long slim-fit era. Guys are essentially having to retool their understanding of what proper fit means, and it means bigger than what they previously thought.
So do you have an inkling that you might be buying your clothes too small? If you have that suspicion, you already know the answer.
You are.
Embrace it. Looser shirts are better than tighter shirts anyway.
Why?
Wiggle roomWell, they are more comfortable, of course. They also look better. Lastly, they give you wiggle room for fluctuations in weight. Yes, the guy who lives in the gym hopes that his weight only fluctuates exactly how we want it to fluctuate. That would be good for all of us. However, down here on earth, things aren’t always the way we want. We can’t all live in the gym. We all have weight fluctuations.
It happens sometimes over months, sometimes over years. It’s just how it goes. If your clothes are so tight that they can’t accommodate just a few pounds of fluctuation, they are not sustainable. It's no wonder why people have to buy new clothes all the time.
This is one of the reasons shirts were looser in the old days. People didn’t have unlimited money. Money was tight so shirts were not. A shirt needed to last as long as possible. That practicality became an aesthetic.
Comfort, flexibility, durability. That’s what you get with a looser shirt.
There is a method to the madness.

The tuck stops here
And consider this: A looser shirt is also easier to tuck.
Is it hard to tuck in your shirt?
No, not really. It isn’t rocket science or any great and difficult task. But you can do it “wrong." And the funny thing is it's usually the result of trying too hard.
One of the most common shirt-tucking errors I see is what I call the mannequin look. You know what I am talking about, right? It’s where the shirt is pulled really tight against the abdomen and all stuffed down the back of the pants, often cinched with a clip in the back. That’s how they style mannequins.
It looks pretty cool on an inanimate object that stands under warm lights all day, but it looks a lot less cool on a living and breathing human male moving about his day.
Watch an old movie, make note of how the guys’ shirts are tucked in when they take their jackets off. Basically their shirts will be equally tucked all the way around their bodies. They won’t be pulled back so their shirt is flush against their abdomens. Their shirts will be equally loose around their trunks, and there will basically be an equal billowing on all sides.
The proper, classic way to tuck your shirt in is to tuck equally on all sides and then pull some of the shirt up and out so you have a nice little balanced billow all around your waist. It feels better, and it looks much stronger as well. The mannequin tries to hide the billow, but the mannequin isn’t a man. Man enjoys his billow, and he enjoys it nice and good.
