A social media influencer who helped amplify allegations against former Congressman Eric Swalwell says she has been inundated with messages from women claiming similar experiences — some of them deeply disturbing.

Cheyenne Hunt, who posts political content to hundreds of thousands of followers across Instagram and TikTok, said she has heard from more than 30 women since helping bring initial accusations into the public eye. What began as a handful of accounts quickly escalated into what she described as a flood.

“Immediately, I was slammed with messages,” Hunt said, describing the aftermath of posting about the allegations.

The claims she has fielded range widely in severity. Some women described inappropriate messages and persistent online contact, while others alleged far more serious encounters — including accusations of drugging and rape.

The allegations first gained traction when women including Ally Sammarco and Annika Albrecht began sharing their experiences publicly, eventually connecting through Hunt.

Sammarco said she first encountered Swalwell while working an entry-level role on a political campaign. After reaching out to him on social media, she said he responded quickly, initially offering career guidance before their exchanges allegedly took a more personal turn.

According to Sammarco, the communication moved from Twitter to text messages and eventually to Snapchat — a shift she said raised concerns, given that Swalwell is a married man in his 40s.

She alleged that the messages became increasingly inappropriate, culminating in an explicit photo that left her shocked.

“He thought he was untouchable,” she said. “He acted with total impunity.”

Albrecht described a similar progression. After meeting Swalwell during a college trip, she said he added her to a group chat with other students before privately connecting with her on Snapchat. What began as political conversation, she alleged, gradually turned flirtatious and then sexual.

At one point, she said, he invited her to meet him at a hotel — an invitation she declined.

“I keep thinking about how lucky I am that didn’t go to that hotel,” Albrecht said.

That sense of relief has only deepened as more women have come forward.

Hunt said one of the messages she received included an allegation of a “full-on assault,” marking what she described as a turning point in understanding the scope of the claims.

Soon after, a woman named Lonna Drewes publicly accused Swalwell of drugging her drink at a hotel in 2018 before sexually assaulting her.

“He raped me, and he choked me,” Drewes said tearfully at a press conference, alleging she lost consciousness during the encounter.

Other women, according to Albrecht, described similarly disorienting experiences — claiming they drank with Swalwell and later woke up in bed with no memory of how they got there.

Despite the timing of the allegations during a heated California gubernatorial primary, the women insist their decision to come forward was not politically motivated.

“We didn’t know each other before,” Sammarco said. “We got connected through this process.”

Their stated goal, they say, is to prevent future harm.

“I think we just prevented another 30 to 40 years, potentially, of him harming people,” Sammarco said, pointing to the increased power he might have held if elected governor.

For Albrecht, accountability remains the central issue.

“Justice won’t be until he can’t ever harm a woman ever again,” she said.

As the allegations mounted, Swalwell denied wrongdoing, calling the claims “serious, false allegations.” He announced he would suspend his campaign for governor of California, apologizing for what he described as past “mistakes in judgment” while maintaining his innocence.

Days later, he resigned from Congress, effective immediately.

For those who came forward, the resignation is only a first step.

“This fight is not over,” Hunt said. “We’re just getting started.”
