Kellyanne Conway Accused of Posting Topless Pic of Daughter on Twitter

Former Counselor to 45th President Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, is once again under fire on social media for allegedly posting a topless photo of her teenage daughter, Claudia Conway, on Twitter's Fleet feature, similar to Instagram's Story feature. The Fleet in question has since been deleted but not before social media saw it and informed Claudia, who took to TikTok to post her reaction, before deleting the TikTok videos.

She then followed them with two other TikTok videos. In the first deleted video, Claudia says that the picture her mother posted was from months ago and she assumes that Kellyanne got access to the photo when she took Claudia's phone. She believes that either her mother posted it accidentally or that somebody hacked her, but Claudia is certain that no one else would have access to the photo in question.

... can't the Conway family help Kellyanne? Surely there is enough evidence to get her in a nice mental health hospital. they are wealthy. Over time, her mind and thinking may be normal enough to be released.... but get Kellyanne some help!

Whatever is going on, it is obvious there needs to be a MAJOR time out.

It's more likely that someone got hold of the photo when Claudia herself had possession of the phone. Ex-boyfriend, etc. Somebody who would have a motive for doing so. Additionally, she didn't seem altogether certain that she never sent it to anybody.

Claudia Conway seem damaged, but so does Kelly (for that matter, so does George).

They need family therapy, and they need it out of the spotlight. They are all three media manipulators, in my opinion, and Claudia's age adds a level of sadness that makes me really unhappy for everyone involved.

I know I wasn't perfect when I was a teenager but I don't think Kellyanne has any moral convictions or otherwise she wouldn't have stuck with Trump for so long.

I think the best way to help Claudia is to leave her alone.

Edit: After looking at Claudia's social media feed she seems to have more moral convictions than either of her parents.

I'll admit that I haven't been following the antics of the Conway family, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Claudia is actually trying to set up Kellyanne.

I hope the entire family is getting the help they need.

The girl does have a lot of power to use the media for revenge. This may turn out to be an example of that.

involved in this mess as much as possible. The daughter is using social media to harm her mother. She has too much power and it's a mess.

Personally, I'd stop paying the daughter's phone bill period. And I'd remove the internet from the house (I sure would, I've done it here~!).

I know the daughter would continue to act out, but I'd not help her one single bit.

I can't imagine having that much trouble on my hands as a mother, and how I would cope with it.

And you're right; we shouldn't be privy to all this. Someday the girl is going to be sorry she did all this but - unlike most teenaged misdeeds - it will all be online permanently.

My dad was abusive a few times but I didn't live with him. I do have a good honest mother though.

I looked up the story and the photo appeared on Kellyanne's Twitter account. I doubt someone would log in to their mother's account and post a topless photo of herself to set-up her mom.

It is also unlikely an ex-boyfriend would have access to Kellyanne's Twitter account.

I can see the motive of an angry and vengeful teen whose phone has been taken away from her many times (presumably as a punishment).

I can't see a grown woman doing that to her daughter. Adults are a lot more cognizant of the repercussions and also they tend to be a lot more emotionally stable than teenagers. They also have a tendency NOT to want their kids' naked photos online for all to see.

So unless Kellyanne is really off her rocker, and there is evidence of such odd behavior on her part (Trumpism doesn't count), this story deserves some skepticism.

I am betting these two will be the best of buddies in 10 years time. I know my daughters and I are after the tumultuous teen years (although very minor compared to the public discord in the Conway household).

You do realize the photo was posted on Kellyanne's account? A hack is possible but if it wasn't a hack then it had to be someone with access to that account and I seriously doubt her daughter posted it herself. It was brought to her attention by other Twitter users.

An ex-boyfriend would have to break in their house, log into Kellyanne's account and post the photo.

Also Claudia pays for her own phone which she told the police. They have been to her house many times. The police told Kellyanne, “if she wants to leave, let her go.”

And you're right, the ex-boyfriend doesn't make sense. Kellyanne posting what amounts to child pornography doesn't make sense either, unless she is out of her mind. But an angry teenager who has demonstrated that she has no problem with publically embarrassing her mother does make sense. And older teens these days are not that hesitant to show off their boobs.

Also the police should know you can't just let a 16-year-old out into the world without supervision. That would be neglect. They should just send the kid off to any relative who will take her, at this point.

It's increasingly obvious she's suffering and it is heartbreaking to watch her lack of emotional well being.
