Claudia Conway’s mom, Kellyanne, was one of President Trump’s longest-serving aides. Her father is a big-shot lawyer who once represented Paula Jones.
Their 18-year-old daughter rose to prominence when she began making headlines years ago for posting anti-Trump TikTok videos and sharing her uber-liberal views, all while publicly battling her parents for control of her social media accounts.
Following a brief social media hiatus, the “wild child” now has a new gig creating salacious content for Playboy.com, the online offshoot of the now-defunct print magazine.
“Claudia Conway is one of many women who have found freedom, autonomy, and major financial success on our creator platform,” Playboy announced in a statement received by The Post Tuesday. “We welcome her and support her choices.”
So who is Claudia Conway?
She has famous conservative parents
Before joining the Trump team, where she worked as a campaign manager and then a counselor to the president, Claudia’s mom, Kellyanne, was a political consultant for top Republicans and a strategist for the GOP.
Her dad, George Conway, meanwhile, is a prominent corporate attorney who represented Jones in her lawsuit against Bill Clinton. He’s the founder of the anti-Trump conservative super political action committee The Lincoln Project.
Claudia first rose to prominence several years back after making troubling social media posts about her parents, who recently announced that they were getting divorced after 22 years of marriage.
These included claims that her parents were trying to silence her by getting her to delete her social media, notably referring to her mother as “Smelly Kelly.”
The rest of Claudia’s family leans right, too. She told Insider last month that she comes from a “huge conservative Italian family” and recalled getting into an argument with an aunt over her choice to wear a “women for Trump” hat.
“Everyone in my family are [sic] Trump supporters except for my dad and I,” she told the outlet.
“I grew up in a very, very conservative family, so I was only exposed to those views for a very long time,” she added.
She’s Playboy’s newest bunny
The teen’s most recent endeavor is a new gig creating salacious content for Playboy.com, the online offshoot of the now-defunct print magazine.
“Claudia Conway is one of many women who have found freedom, autonomy, and major financial success on our creator platform,” Playboy announced in a statement received by The Post. “We welcome her and support her choices.”
She has been operating the subscription page since April, just six months after her 18th birthday.
Claudia has just 11 snaps on Playboy.com, which debuted in March as part of the famous men’s magazine’s digital-first campaign following the shuttering of its print product in 2020.
The showy shots show Conway wearing three different revealing swimsuits: one green, one lilac and one in a blue floral print.
The former “American Idol” contestant is also seen posing braless in a tight gray slip dress — a photo that’s also shared with her 158,000 followers on Instagram.
While Playboy.com claims to be a more safe-for-work OnlyFans, offering what it describes as “artistic nudity” — ie. artfully-obscured netherregions and beasts — instead of the overt “p*rnography” of its p*rn platform counterpart, customers can pay for racier photos.
A slightly more suggestive shot — or “cleavage closeups” could cost between $5 and $99 depending on the shot.
Subscribers even have the option to tip Conway and other creators if they see a photo that tickles their fancy.
Playboy, for one, found Conway’s new career empowering, telling the Post: “Playboy believes all women deserve to have full control over their bodies and their voices.”
She’s a Jersey girl
Claudia was raised in Alpine, New Jersey, along with her twin brother, George IV, and two younger sisters, Charlotte and Vanessa.
In 2016, the Conways relocated to the nation’s capital — though Claudia, then a sixth-grader, wasn’t so happy about the move. She started a Change.org petition in an attempt to convince her parents to stay put in the Garden State.
The Post reported at the time that Kellyanne was getting stonewalled when trying to get her kids placed into DC private schools.
At some point, she and her twin brother George moved back to Alpine, where they live with their grandmother, according to a Dec. 2022 interview with Bustle.
Their younger sisters attend schools in Washington D.C. while their parents travel back and forth.
When she graduates high school this year she hopes to move to New York and, one day, attend college, Claudia told Bustle.
She also wants to work in social justice advocacy.
“I think that’s what I want to do when I’m older, like social justice activism,” she told Insider. “I know my mom always told me: If you believe it, go stand for it.”
Here’s what she posts on TikTok
The teen boasts a massive 1.6 million TikTok followers
The teen previously gained traction on the app for uploading videos that were critical of her mother’s boss, however she hasn’t shared much on the app since December of last year.
“Why do people hate on Trump supporters, like can’t we just respect everyone’s opinions? SIKE nah block me pls and then educate yourself,” she wrote in one video.
In another clip, she wrote: “hi so if you’re leftist, acab, anti-trump, blm, etc. please interact w this because most of my comments are threats from angry trump supporters.”
She captioned another TikTok with “i love trump… but replace ‘love’ with ‘think that we should extinguish.’”
She’s also posted in support of Black Lives Matter, highlighting the case of Breonna Taylor.
More recently after Roe v. Wade was overturned, she has organized protests in support of abortion rights, according to Bustle.
AOC is one of her idols
The self-described teen activist told USA Today in July 2020 that far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are two of her idols.
Claudia also said she decided to advance progressive causes on her social media channels after educating herself on issues like same-sex marriage and abortion.
“Growing up in a family where you’re really only exposed to one side and your mom is a public figure working for some of the biggest Republican politicians in the nation, you know, 12-year-old me was wondering, ‘Why? Why is my mom doing this?’
“‘What does she believe in? Why does she believe this and why does she fight for this so much?’ And so I started reading,” Claudia said.
The teen also tweeted asking Ocasio-Cortez to “adopt” her.
She’s an expert at trolling
Claudia once notably livestreamed a confrontation with her mother on TikTok, in which Kellyanne can be seen swiping the teen’s phone out of her hands.
And after her dad wrote on Twitter that he and his wife no longer consented to journalists speaking to Claudia, she responded she was “sorry [his] marriage failed.”
Despite the public quip about her parents’ marriage, she told USA Today she doesn’t think their dynamic is “anyone else’s business, other than my family and mine, to be honest.”
“It’s kind of frustrating that I’ve kind of grown up around that,” she said.
She said her mom is her best friend
They may not always see eye to eye, but Claudia previously described her mother as her “best friend.”
“My mom is my best friend but we do fight all the time over politics, and I’m always shut down by my entire family,” she told Insider.
More recently, she told Bustle in December, “Our relationship is great now.”
The mother-daughter duo previously attended Trump’s inaugural ball in DC, with Kellyanne tweeting a photo of them at the time, looking lovingly at each other in evening gowns.
Claudia has said that growing up as Kellyanne Conway’s daughter, “it’s really really hard to disassociate yourself with that image because people look at me and are like ‘oh, that’s Kellyanne Conway’s daughter,’ she must love Trump.”
“I really don’t,” she told Insider, adding that her opinions and those of her mother “could not be more opposite.”
But, she added: “I respect everyone’s views.”
She wanted to emancipate from her parents
Despite describing her mother as her “best friend,” Claudia claimed she wanted to push for emancipation from her parents.
“I’m officially pushing for emancipation. Buckle up because this is probably going to be public one way or another, unfortunately. Welcome to my life,” the then-15-year-old said in a tweet.
The tweet came alongside many more in which she penned her frustration over her mother’s work for President Trump, and over recent praise of her father.
“As for my dad, politically, we agree on absolutely nothing. We just both happen to have common sense when it comes to our current president. Stop ‘stanning’ him,” Claudia tweeted, using a term referring to someone who admires someone or something to the point of obsession.
She added that her mother was “selfish” for pursuing her line of work.
“My mother’s job ruined my life to begin with,” she wrote.
The outburst prompted Kellyanne to announce she was stepping down from her senior role in the White House at the end of August.
Kellyanne said she and her husband both decided they were taking time off to tend to their four children.
She came down with COVID-19 after her mom tested positive
Claudia revealed on TikTok that she has coronavirus, posting an Oct. 4 2020 video with the caption saying, “hey guys currently dying of covid!”
Her mom had announced her own COVID-19 diagnosis Oct. 2 2020 following the teen’s posts on the platform that Kellyanne was “coughing all around the house after Trump tested positive for covid.”
The former White House aide was at the Sept. 26 2020 Rose Garden event for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. At least eight other attendees have since tested positive for the virus.
A topless photo of her was allegedly leaked on Twitter
On Jan. 26, 2021 Claudia claimed a topless photo of her appeared on her mother’s Twitter account under the new Fleets feature — which automatically deletes posts after 24 hours.
The outspoken teen initially said her mom could have posted the intimate snap when she took away her phone.
“The picture’s from months ago and I’m assuming that when my mom took my phone — any time she’s taken it because she takes it all the time — she took a picture of that, so that was on her phone,” Claudia said in a now-deleted TikTok video.
“And I guess she accidentally posted it, or somebody hacked her.”
A short time later, Claudia insisted that she believes her mother was in fact hacked — and begged people to stop contacting law enforcement.
However, police still paid a visit to the family’s New Jersey mansion and confirmed that a probe into the alleged photo was underway.
