How 15-year-old Claudia Conway took over social media, from bashing Trump in TikToks to trolling her parents on Twitter

  • Claudia Conway, the 15-year-old daughter of former White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway and Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway, has established herself as a public figure on TikTok.
  • The teenager first went viral in June for her political TikToks in which she voiced her support for the Black Lives Matter movement, distanced herself from her mother's politics, and expressed her dislike of President Donald Trump.
  • As Conway continued to post TikToks and acquire hundreds of thousands of followers, she began to publicly spar with her parents on Twitter.
  • As her social media posts escalated, she made explosive allegations against her high-profile parents that included abuse.
  • After Conway posted on Twitter about "pursuing emancipation," both Kellyanne and George Conway resigned from their respective positions, citing a desire to focus on family.

On the evening of August 23, Kellyanne Conway, a senior counselor to President Donald Trump, announced that she would be leaving the White House to focus on her children. Her husband, the attorney and conservative columnist George Conway, informed his Twitter following that he, too, would leave his position at the Lincoln Project, a political action committee aiming to prevent Trump's reelection, to focus on "family matters."

Following the Conways' resignations, Twitter discussion quickly turned to the couple's 15-year-old daughter, Claudia, who developed a robust social media following over the summer thanks to her anti-Trump TikToks, tweets criticizing her parents' political views, and livestreams where she addresses her complicated family dynamic. Shortly before her parents' announcements, she said she was seeking legal emancipation, alleging she experienced abuse.

Insider hasn't independently verified any of the allegations Claudia Conway made against her parents. Both Kellyanne and George Conway declined to comment on the record for this article.

The teenager's social media presence has stirred up impassioned discussions online, as commenters attempted to reconcile the public nature of her viral TikTok and Twitter posts with their beliefs in a struggling teenager's right to privacy.

Here's a timeline of Claudia Conway's controversial social media presence.
