Republican father-of-four ex-basketball player running for Senate claims his $1,232 donor-funded all-nude strip club bill was a simple mistake as it's revealed he splurged $100,000 in mysterious payments

A Minnesota GOP Senate candidate who has described himself as an 'antisemite' and 'sexist' has blown over $100,000 in campaign dollars on late nights at strip clubs, clothing and mysterious wire transfers. 

Six-foot-eight Royce White, 33, is a Catholic, former professional basketball player turned right-wing podcaster who has been propped up by Steve Bannon. He's running against Republican candidate Joe Frazier in a primary to take on Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

White has a history of referring to women as 'whores' and 'b****es' on social media and has a record of alleged abuse of his wife, who filed for a protection order and announced plans to divorce him before getting back with him, and side girlfriend.

He has fathered two children with wife Angelic Aguilar Suggs and two others with different women.  

White's campaign is a long shot: he's got $10,000 on hand compared to Klobuchar's $6 million and DailyMail.com has learned that national Republicans are staying far away from him. But he's got the backing of the state GOP.

Blowing thousands at all-nude strip club, limos 

After losing his House primary in 2022, ex-NBA player Royce White had a 5 a.m. outing at the Gold Rush Cabaret - some 1,800 miles from the House race he was running in.

He paid the Miami-based all-nude strip club $1,232 on the campaign tab that night, according to 2022 FEC filings. The filings were first flagged by the Daily Beast.

White told DailyMail.com that he couldn't recall the strip club night but believed his team had 'used the wrong card' and were in the process of reimbursing the campaign.  

White has often railed against the political system as 'corrupt,' but thousands of dollars went to limo services and posh hotels in Florida, far away from his race in Minnesota. 

White had brief stints Canada’s National Basketball League and Ice Cube’s Big3 basketball league.

Eye-popping $100,000 on suspicious unmarked transfers and purchases at Crocs, clothing and gyms

White also spent around $100,000 on regular wire transfers and checks that had no stated recipient or purpose. 

White told DailyMail.com the transfers and checks largely went to videographers who were filming content for the campaign. He said he is amending FEC filings to reflect that. 

'To my knowledge, the only thing that I'm aware of that we wire transfer were our videographers that were filming content for us, and, you know, doing video editing, and maybe their hotels and licenses, things like that,' he said. 'We had them working for us on an eight-week basis.'

His campaign expenditures show questionable cash withdrawals in cities far from Minnesota, hundreds of dollars spent at clothing stores, sporting goods stores and electronics stores and payments to basketball training app Dribbleup.com. 

Purchases include $216 at LuluLemon, $115 at Crocs.com, $156 at Asos.com, $323 at Express.com, $369 at Sally Beauty Supply and and $136 at Lifetime Fitness. 

Campaign dollars are not supposed to go to personal clothing purchases. 

The FEC says: 'The campaign cannot pay for attire for political functions (for example, a new tuxedo or dress), but it can pay for clothing of de minimis value that is used in the campaign, such as T-shirts or caps imprinted with a campaign slogan.' 

One clothing purchase - $366 at New Balance - listed its campaign purpose: 'shoe purchase for door knocking.' 

Domestic abuse allegations by wife

White, who notoriously missed his first season with the Houston Rockets due to mental health issues, has a history of domestic abuse allegations.

His ex-wife and mother of his two children Angelic Aguilar Suggs was granted a protection order after she said that over the first five months of their marriage he 'has been physically and verbally violent, and he has inflicted and threatened physical harm upon me.'

Royce was 22 at the time and his wife was 25. She said they had been together 'on and off' for eight years. Royce's mother was living with them at the time of their marriage. 

Angelic asked for Royce to only have 'supervised' time with their children due to fear for their safety. She said she had not disclosed where she was living to Royce out of fear for safety. 

While they lived in Pennsylvania when Royce was playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, Elizabeth said Royce 'forbid me to leave the house for any reason unless | was given his permission.'

'I was not allowed access to a vehicle and little access to money. Respondent's mother was allowed to drive me places but only if Respondent approved.' 

She said his anger had 'raged out of control' on many occasions, had threatened to kill her, and hit her. 

Royce and Angelic live together and co-parent their children to this day. 'The reconciliation between me and her surely shows that we we don't have a violent relationship, okay, if we did, I think that would, that would probably reflect some 10 years later,' he said.

On December 23, 2013 Elizabeth said she had asked Royce's mother to drive her to the movie theater for some time alone. Twenty minutes into the movie, she said Royce showed up to drag her out of the theater. 

Royce 'wants me to be a prison in my own home and if I do anything to anger him, he goes into complete, uncontrolled rages and is verbally and physically abusive.'

The couple lived together from September 2008 until January 2014. But apparently Royce had another girlfriend on the side. 

But Royce and his wife Angelic have rekindled. He said the pair now live together even though they are divorced 'on paper.'  

She posted a photo of the family all together on Instagram last month. 

'We're still technically divorced, but we do live in the same household. Some in the Christian faith believe that once somebody's your wife, that's your wife until death do you part. So still my wife, regardless of what it says in the court,' White said.

'Assaulted' his girlfriend on the side 

TMZ reported that Royce ex-girlfriend, Maxim model Tania Mehra, filed a police report on August 30 saying Royce had allegedly attacked her in June. 

A 911 call from June 22, 2013 reported a laceration above Mehra's right eye. At the time she said it was from an 'accidental fall,' but in the August incident report she said Royce assaulted her. 

Cops told TMZ: 'The victim said she had lied earlier because the suspect played for the NBA and did not want the incident to damage his career.' 

Mehra also allegedly claimed Royce grabbed a candle holder and threw it at her during the altercation. 

Royce told DailyMail.com Mehra lied when she went back to police to amend her story. 

'She was intoxicated that night and had taken some other medication that she was on for some other reason, and I think it had an amplified effect on the alcohol she drank. I mean, it was a huge gathering at the house that night, and she slipped and fell, and I wasn't even in the room or anywhere near when that when that occurred.' 

Royce has said he suffers from OCD and anxiety, and his wife said he mixed his anti-anxiety medication with alcohol, which she believed made his irritability worse.  

White was picked up by the Houston Rockets in the 2012 draft. He went on to fight with the team and not play a single minute, with then-general manager saying White  could be 'the worst first-round pick ever.'

Social media posts calling women 'whores' and 'b****es' 

White has become a frequent guest on Alex Jones' InfoWars and regularly refers to women as 'b****es,' 'whores' and 'c***s' on X. 

In 2022, he posted on X: 'My penis also hits the water when I sit down to use the bathroom.' 

'The saying happy wife happy life this is gateway cuckism,' White said in another post. 

He also once described himself on X as 'sexist, Misogynist, Homophobic, Transphobic, Xenophobic, Antisemitic.' 

He later said that was a joke. 'We can’t be facetious or humorous? I was posting a list of all the things I’ve been called that were ridiculous.' 

His political views have swung like a pendulum. 

White organized Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 before mounting a right-wing challenge to Rep. Ilhan Omar's seat in 2022, though he didn't make it through the primary.

What's next for White? 

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has no plans to support White and instead prefers Frazier. 

NRSC Chairman Sen. Steve Daines said White 'would have difficulty winning a general election.' 

But in a shocking turn of events, White got the nod from the Minnesota Republican Party this week. 

He faces off in the GOP primary on August 13.
