Conservative Media in Chaos: Steven Crowder Abuse Allegations
So the biggest news in Conservative media circles over the last 24 hours has NOT been Tucker Carlson, surprisingly. The biggest story has revolved around conservative commentator Steven Crowder after a video was released from a Ring camera on his property, showing him being verbally abusive and threatening to his pregnant wife, Hilary in 2021.
The couple is now going through a divorce, as the video began circulating online yesterday. This has spurred Hilary Crowder and family to release the following statement to the media:
"Hilary is currently living alone in Dallas, apart from her family and support system in Michigan, and is focused on taking care of her young children. She is not prepared at this time to speak about her divorce becoming public or the misleading statements made by Steven about their relationship.
The truth is that Hilary spent years hiding Steven's mentally and emotionally abusive behavior from her
friends and family while she attempted to save their marriage. She was the one who was asking to work on their relationship to keep the marriage intact for their unborn children.
In June of 2021, Steven left their home to pursue elective surgery. Hilary urged him to get the help he needed to address his abuse with the hope that their marriage could be saved and they could peacefully live together as a family. Instead, Steven refused to do so and chose not to be with his wife during the birth of their twin children. After the birth, Steven bought a townhouse and left their home permanently. Hilary was unaware that Steven had hired a divorce attorney and asked his assistant to cut Hilary off financially. There is significant documentation substantiating these facts.
We hope that Steven will cease speaking publicly about these personal matters in an untruthful manner. We also look forward to there being full transparency in the legal process so there is fairness and accountability for the actions that caused the divorce, and to ensure the outcome is what is in the best interests of the young children."
Even fellow conservative media personalities like Candace Owens berated Crowder on her podcast on Thursday, calling the incident "horrific" and saying that the video is "very difficult to watch... [Hilary] is alleging that he has been emotionally abusive to her and this video all but confirms it."
