Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway seemed to find herself getting a little on the testy side during the Q&A portion of an event she recently attended at the University of Iowa — after one of the students in the audience questioned the former Trump aide about a past report claiming Kellyanne once “leaked” nude images of her own underage daughter, Claudia Conway, who she maintains a notoriously troubled relationship with.
“Obviously you have traditional family values and you’ve said that you’re pro-woman, so how does that tie into you leaking your daughter’s nudes on your Twitter,” the University of Iowa student asked the former Trump administration official.
“No, I didn’t do that,” Conway shot back.
The university student doubled down, though, stating that she had read the story about the alleged leaked explicit photos in a report from the New York Post.

“Oh — wow. See? See how easy it is to make someone look foolish?” Kellyanne fired back before looking directly at the student who questioned her and asking, chock full of venom, “Are you done yet?”
The former Trump aide went on to attack the university student for even daring to mention her teenage daughter, “And I am so proud of her and her three siblings… There are people who you probably respect in the mainstream media who direct-messaged my 15-year-old daughter, never contacted two parents — very easy to find.”
“Read all about it in the book,” Kellyanne spit, telling the student, “In fact, I’m going to send you a free copy so there’s something you can do other than stand up and ask a mother about her daughter in such an acrimonious way.”
The student was referencing a January 2021 report from the New York Post that alleged police were investigating a topless photo of Claudia Conway, who’s 16-years-old now, that the teen claimed was posted to her mother’s Twitter Fleets, which automatically deletes posts after 24 hours.
Claudia spoke out on the incident and claimed she believes her mother either posted the image “accidentally” or her account was hacked.
“I know that my mom would never, ever post anything to hurt me like that intentionally and I do believe she was hacked,” Claudia said. “I want to apologize for making all of this public.”
