Earlier this week, conservative video host Steven Crowder revealed he had been involved in a “increasingly horrendous divorce” since 2021, and lobbed threats at Candace Owens for what he called “extortion”. A now-released video claims to show emotional abuse between Crowder and his now estranged wife.
Journalist Yashar Ali shared a three-minute video captured by a Ring security camera that appears to show Crowder berating his then-wife for not fulfilling her “wifely duties”. He added that she “wasn’t committed” to anything or anyone, and told her to “watch it” when confronted by the abuse accusations. He told his wife that she refuses to show “discipline and respect” to him during the argument, before saying he doesn’t love her and has never received love from her.
According to Ali, the video ended before Crowder shouted “I will f— you up!”, causing his wife, who was nearly eight months pregnant with the couple’s twins, to leave the home in a panic.
Crowder’s wife contends there was no physical abuse or sexual infidelity in their marriage, but claims she was subjected to mental and emotional abuse before leaving the conservative commentator in 2021.
The Louder with Crowder host spoke about his ongoing divorce for the first time Tuesday, and alerted attorneys that he would do so. The attorneys representing his soon-to-be ex-wife advised him not to speak publicly on the matter. However, Crowder did so anyway.
“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,” a statement from an attorney for Crowder’s estranged wife read. “She was the one who was asking to work on their relationship to keep the marriage intact for their unborn children.
“We hope that Steven will cease speaking publicly about these personal matters in an untruthful manner,” the statement continued. “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.”
