Naomi Wolf, a prominent figure in the third wave of feminism, has allegedly been de-platformed on X, formerly known as Twitter, sparking widespread confusion and rumours among her followers.
Wolf, who gained recognition with her 1991 publication The Beauty Myth, has more recently been criticised and labelled a conspiracy theorist due to her controversial views on COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccines.
In June 2021, her Twitter account was suspended for spreading anti-vaccine misinformation.
The latest controversy emerged after her interview with Alex Jones, where Wolf issued an urgent warning to Donald Trump about an alleged "Deep State coup" and claimed that COVID-19 vaccines were ineffective, accusing Pfizer of manipulating data to hide negative outcomes.
