Ashley St. Clair Threatens Benny Johnson Over Comments About Her Child
Former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair has engaged in a heated online dispute with conservative commentator Benny Johnson following his remarks about her parenting and child. The conflict escalated after St. Clair discovered January episodes of Johnson’s show, where he supported Elon Musk’s custody bid and alleged St. Clair intended to transition their son. St. Clair, who has explicitly denied these claims and clarified her child is not transgender, responded aggressively on Instagram. She stated she was previously unaware of Johnson’s content but warned him that he would regret speaking about her child for the rest of his life. This clash occurs amidst broader tensions, including St. Clair’s recent apology for past anti-trans rhetoric and her ongoing lawsuit against Musk’s xAI over non-consensual sexualized images generated by Grok. Johnson had characterized St. Clair as an unfit parent influenced by gender ideology, prompting St. Clair to insult his intelligence and audience while challenging him to continue the personal attacks. The incident highlights deepening fractures within conservative media circles and the intense scrutiny surrounding high-profile figures associated with Elon Musk.
