An Ethics Committee investigation in D.C. found that AOC dragged her feet in paying vendors back for her Met Gala appearance in 2021, to the tune of about $7,000. She has since paid her debt and apologized.
Apparently, several vendors involved in getting AOC all dolled up that day were hounding her for the cash for months ... including the designer of the dress,. And, for a while, the circumstances under which she was invited were also murky. Apparently, she was a guest of Vogue's -- but the EIC,, is obviously deeply involved in prepping the Met Gala ... so it seemed fishy, at first.
As for how AOC is responding ... she's pleading ignorance. She says she wasn't aware that these payments were owed and regrets that it ever got to this point. Her attorney also notes that just because the Ethics Committee might've found evidence of possible malfeasance, it doesn't actually mean anything wrong was done ... especially since she's cleared her bill.
