https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-video-reveals-steven-crowder|Video Reveals Steven Crowder Emotionally Abusing Wife. In Statement, Hilary Crowder's Family Says She Hid His Emotionally Abusive Behavior For Years
Towards the end of the exchange, Hilary Crowder says to her husband, "Your abuse is sick," he snaps at her, saying, "Watch it. Fucking watch it."
Moments later, off camera, Steven Crowder, by his admission, would lose control and scream at his pregnant wife in a threatening tone, "I will fuck you up," which led his wife to flee their home.
In a statement sent to me by Hilary Crowder's family, they say that she spent years hiding her husband's mental and emotional abuse from her family, that he lied about the circumstances around their divorce, and that he wasn't present for the birth of their children.
The video is... it made me so angry, for all the wives everywhere who've suffered under 'conservative family values.' Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't lose a single listener over this, as he sits there and does his patriarchal shit.

(11,767 posts)Who saw that coming, except anybody with passing knowledge of Crowder.
The idiot tries to act like a "nice guy" but regularly makes "comedy" skits with racially stereotypical characters, he wears empty gun holsters on his person when doing his RADIO SHOW, in studio...
He recently came out attacking other right wing hosts for "using my pending divorce" to extort him.
I figured he was the asshole in the situation, since he seems to be the asshole in ANY situation.

(26,848 posts)infants should be relieved to hear that.... I mean... once they learn to understand words. And yes, he literally said that. And to think this dipshit makes millions a year preaching bullshit. I sure as shit went tin to the wrong racket.

(9,148 posts)I would place a large bet that 100 percent of them are very insecure, and that enrages them and makes them lash out and assert their dominance so they feel powerful -- a pathetic attempt to overcompensate for their deep-seated negative feelings about themselves.

(25,758 posts)He is not angry. Not at this point. He is pushing her buttons, trying to break her down, trying to get her to react dramatically.
He is feeding off of her distress.
He is a sick man. I hope she moves beyond this and keeps her kids away from him. He is a predator and will damage anyone he can, even the people who he "loves" and the people who love him.

(24,729 posts)If the Crowders use mail-in ballots, I'd bet Steven fills out both forms, then says "sign here". Walla, he has two votes.
However she feels about choice, equal rights amendment, contents of school libraries, it doesn't matter. She likely has no vote.

Which one of our votes would you discard? Both? Respectfully? Screw that.

(3,225 posts)Crowder is a favorite target on various Reddit groups, especially /r/gammasecretkings. What's so funny is that many of the family-values social-conservative types (e.g. Candace Owens, Owen Benjamin, many other losers) are on the attack. I guess he was some sort of social-conservative MRA/PUA/Manosphere "hero" at some point (who knew?). The right-wing grifters really have no loyalty whatsoever: the minute one of them gets into trouble, the others just pile on like a ton of bricks.

(3,057 posts)at her with warmth in their eyes, knowing that in just a few weeks another child (that SHE, not HE, has been carrying around for eight months and all that entails) would be delivered and added to their family. Not him.
And why would someone in his financial condition have only one car.

(3,557 posts)What a terrible human being.
I know in my own case, I felt that staying was the best option for my kids. Even though I made the majority of the money and I wasnt worried about my own financial situation, divorce I feared would have been a tremendous upheaval for my children. Wed have to move homes, most likely change school districts, and all the upheaval in their lives that would have resulted from that.
In the end, after divorce, all of those things happened. We moved from New York to Ohio - but my kids are doing significantly better now (as well as myself) since the divorce. If I had known them what I know now, I wouldnt have waited so long for the divorce.
Its been almost 5 years since the divorce and my life is significantly better now than it was back then. I had no idea life could be so good and enjoyable.
