Recently, news broke from multiple tabloids that former strategist and White House adviser Kellyanne Conway has officially split from her husband George Conway, following years of ongoing drama within the family and Kellyanne’s recent, rather telling book.
Since Kellyanne first pledged her loyalty to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and beyond, the couple quickly grew notoriety over their polar opposite political views. While they both identified as Conservatives, Kellyanne was obviously devout to the washed-up New York real estate “mogul” and reality TV “star” turned controversial presidential candidate, while George was a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a popular coalition of former Republicans devoured to defeating Donald Trump, removing him from the White House, and ensuring he never returned to those hallowed halls again.
The pair’s political difference served as a huge, ongoing point of contention in their marriage and overall home life, as George actively lobbied against Donald Trump while Kellyanne simultaneously served under him. George was often found openly mocking and criticizing Trump on social media while his wife was desperately and vehemently trying to defend her boss against her own husband.
In 2020, Kellyanne released a memoir titled, Here’s The Deal, in which she wrote that her husband’s incessant criticism of her boss was a betrayal against her and their marriage, calling George’s actions “cheating by tweeting.” Trump himself regularly utilized his various social media platforms to lob insults back and forth with Kellyanne’s husband while she was actively working in his administration.

The drama only grew within the Conway family as their eldest daughter Claudia began to “find herself,” so to speak, and very publicly turn her back on her mother’s political values and her presidential boss — leading to several uncomfortable and sometimes downright concerning social media posts from the eldest Conway daughter, and confrontations between Claudia and her mother that led to police intervention.
Claudia remains a staunch critic of Conservative policies backed by her own mother, recently going viral on social media for her involvement in protests regarding the overturning of Roe V. Wade in the Supreme Court.
But, as the news of her parents’ split exploded across the media and multiple social media outlets, the now 18-year-old Conway daughter appeared to lash out at the drama that ensued.
Claudia Conway had seemingly been taking an extended hiatus from social media as of late but made a comeback amid the divorce reports to seemingly lash out at entities and individuals that are kicking up drama surrounding the split between her parents, Kellyanne and George.
“Y’all need to shut up fr [for real],” Claudia wrote in a tweet on the heels of the news of her parents’ divorce.
y’all need to shut up fr

Claudia has been rather wishy-washy, to say the least, with regard to her seemingly on-again-off-again relationship with her mother, as noted by Newsweek in their report on the Conway daughter’s tweet:
Claudia Conway, 18, who last year came out as gay and describes her political views as left-leaning, made headlines as her mother worked as a counselor to former President Donald Trump, publicly lambasting her personally and politically.
The teen also announced on Twitter in August 2020 that she was ‘officially pushing for emancipation’ from her parents. Things came to a head in January 2021, when Claudia Conway accused her mother of posting a topless picture of her via Twitter’s now-defunct Fleets feature.
In a December 2022 interview with Bustle, Claudia Conway conceded that she didn’t believe her mother intentionally posted the image, which was discovered when her mother was going through her phone.
In the summer of 2021, erstwhile American Idol contestant Claudia Conway revealed in a TikTok post that she was on good terms with her mother.
Claudia’s seemingly angry tweet was met with a lot of support in the comments.
