A nasty public fight has broken out online. It involves far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos and fellow political personality Benny Johnson. The conflict has now drawn in Benny’s wife, Kate Johnson.
The trouble started last week. Milo Yiannopoulos was a guest on the “TimCast IRL” podcast. He made serious comments about Benny Johnson. He suggested Johnson had inappropriate relationships with younger men.
Benny Johnson responded on Sunday. He threatened to file a lawsuit against Yiannopoulos. He accused Milo of trying to attack and defame his family.
Who is Kate Johnson?
Kate Johnson is Benny Johnson’s wife. The couple married in 2016. They have four children together. They have three daughters and one son.
By profession, Kate is a registered nurse. She is also known as a health and wellness advocate. She generally stays out of the public political fights her husband is involved in.
Kate Johnson’s Response
After Benny threatened legal action, Kate Johnson also commented online. She was responding to a post about Milo’s allegations. She wrote, “He needs prayer. And a good attorney.” This showed she was supporting her husband’s legal threat.
Milo Yiannopoulos Fires Back at Kate
Milo Yiannopoulos did not back down. He posted a retaliatory message aimed at both Benny and Kate.
He claimed he would win any lawsuit they filed. Then, he personally attacked Kate Johnson’s appearance. He said she looked “hideous” and “twice your age.” He also called her a “swinger girl” and “notoriously prudish.”
He finished by telling Benny Johnson to be “honest” with his audience.
The Original Controversial Comments
The fight stems from Milo’s podcast appearance. In a now-viral clip, he discussed what he called “homosexual overtones” among some right-wing figures.
He used Benny Johnson as an example. He claimed “everybody knows” what happened with Johnson at political events called the Student Action Summit (SAS). He hinted at inappropriate behavior with younger men.
Another guest, former congressman George Santos, said he didn’t understand. Milo then clarified. He claimed Benny Johnson’s wife, Kate, was “crying drunk” in a hotel lobby. He said she was upset because her husband was “upstairs with boys.”
Milo dared the podcast host to ask Kate Johnson about it directly. When asked if he feared a lawsuit, Milo said he had his facts straight.
The situation remains tense. Benny Johnson has threatened legal action. Milo Yiannopoulos is continuing his aggressive personal attacks. The online feud has put the private life of the Johnson family into public focus.
