Dispatch

Nancy Mace told a woman she had been sexually assaulted, then immediately pivoted to how to sue her ex-fiancé for "a million dollars"

On Nancy Mace's first recorded call with Ali Berg (April 6, 2024), Mace tells Berg she believes she was assaulted and, on the same call, lays out suing her ex-fiancé: 'it costs him a million dollars, or whatever that number is, six times 150.' Mace names the man she says she was told assaulted Berg once, with the word 'maybe,' and says 'I don't know if it was him.' On the same call she refers to suing her ex-fiancé twelve times and describes how he would pay. Two new videos group the lines by topic, each verbatim, with a clock showing when it was said.

The long video, about six minutes, 21 clips. Clips are grouped by topic, a clock on screen shows when each line was said, and every line is verbatim from the FITSNews audio.

On April 6, 2024, Rep. Nancy Mace placed a call of about 44 minutes to Alexis "Ali" Berg, a former employee of the company of Mace's ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant. FITSNews published the full audio on June 7, 2026; according to FITSNews, the recording was produced in the ADW v. Berg civil litigation. Two voices are on it: Mace and Berg.

By the count

  • She names what he owns 8 times: assets, real estate, businesses, buildings, cash.
  • She names the man she says she was told assaulted Berg once, with the word "maybe." She does not say his name again in the remaining 24 minutes 44 seconds.

In call order

  • 15:49: "I'm going to sue him."
  • 16:42: "about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars," 52 seconds later.
  • 17:41: "I believe you were assaulted," 1 minute 52 seconds after "sue him."
  • 20:11: the one naming, 4 minutes 22 seconds after "sue him": "There's no way that you consented to what maybe I believe Osborne did to you."
  • 32:58: "Easily all of us can get 150 K each. I think we can get more, but under federal law, at a minimum, that would be that. And maybe that would, if we had, if we had six women and he's hit in the pocketbook and it costs him a million dollars, or whatever that number is, six times 150, he won't be doing this again."

Who each line is about

Her ex-fiancé. At 18:11, before she has named anyone else on the call: "I want this fucker to get justice. He's done some really bad things to a lot of women." At 26:00: "So I intend to sue him." At 33:16: "And he has assets. He has real estate. He has businesses." At 37:33: "I think he would settle right off the bat. Sell one of his buildings, settle, be done."

The man she says did it. At 20:26 Mace says: "I don't know if it was him. I've been told it was him, but I don't know. It was not Patrick and it was not Eric. It was a brunette." At 20:40: "And he did it in front of Patrick and Eric, and Patrick filmed it." On this call she says nothing about what should happen to him. These are Mace's allegations, unproven and disputed. John Osborne, Patrick Bryant and Eric Bowman deny them, and no one has been charged.

Berg. Berg asks at 18:19, "Can you, can you tell me what you mean by assaulted?" and says at 21:17, "Like, honestly, I have no memory of any of, any of that. I told you what I remember." At 41:54 Mace tells her: "You're not the only one whose rape was filmed." What Mace offers on the call: "you can call me anytime, any hour" (43:28), a lawsuit, and lawyers: "they're going to do it on contingency for us" (36:55). What she does not offer on the call: police, a victim advocate, a counselor.

What each side has filed

Bryant's December 22, 2025 opposition to a confidentiality order, filed in Berg v. Bryant, says on page 5 that a "scheme to extort money from her former fiancé" is "on full display in the April 2024 recording" (the filing). Mace's December 19, 2025 answer to the third-party complaint says on page 10: "Mace denies that any conspiracy existed or that Berg was targeted" (the filing). No court has ruled on either.
