Diamond, Of Right-Wing Duo Diamond And Silk, Dies 'Unexpectedly'

tfgg has a sad.



From Huffpo

Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway, the right-wing commentator who was half of the pro-Donald Trump vlogging duo Diamond and Silk, has died, according to the pair’s Twitter account.

“The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Please respect the privacy of Diamond’s family! Memorial Ceremony TBA,” a post from the Diamond and Silk Twitter account on Monday read.
..........

In November, the pair’s Twitter account, which bills them as “Trump’s most loyal supporters,” asked supporters to pray for Hardaway but did not specify why. Days earlier, it had posted about her 51st birthday.

According to the Daily Beast, Hardaway briefly returned to her show the following month and dismissed unverified online reports that she had been hospitalized with COVID-19. She filmed her final episode on Dec. 15.

conspiracies

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/04/28/trump-defends-diamond-and-silk-despite-coronavirus-conspiracies/3039249001/

President Donald Trump tweeted his support Tuesday for Diamond and Silk, two of his most outspoken promoters on social media who have recently sparked outrage by promoting conspiracy theories around the coronavirus outbreak that has killed more than 56,000 people in the U.S.and more than 212,000 around the world.

On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that Fox News was severing ties with the sisters, who stream a weekly show for Fox Nation. A new episode has not posted on the Fox Nation website since April 7, the first time they missed a week since December 2018, according to The Daily Beast. The online news outlet also said they had not made a Fox News appearance since a March 6 "Fox & Friends" interview.

Lynette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk) did not directly address the report, but Monday night they tweeted, "Haters keep saying they hate Diamond and Silk, but you can't hate what you ain't never loved!"
