In her star turn at the premiere of Sunday’s “American Idol” season, social media phenomenon Claudia Conway is officially declaring herself out of the shadow of her famous and famous parents.
The 16-year-old daughter of Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway and conservative but antitrump lawyer George Conway details her education to the show’s judges in a recently released video recently obtained by People magazine.
“I’m Claudia Conway,” she tells Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
“My mother is Kellyanne Conway. He worked for Donald Trump. And my father is George Conway. He worked against Donald Trump.
“It’s a lot, but I agree with my mom and dad,” he says in the video.
“You probably know me as a 15-year-old emancipation girl or that blonde woman from Fox News’ daughter, ”Claudia says in a home video. “I’m a little more than that.”
And he adds, “When your mother works for the president of the United States, with whom you don’t really agree, it’s hard.”
And he adds: “Most of my life, my feelings had been suppressed. Then I got social media and he said to me, ‘Well, yes. Now my voice is being heard. “
Claudia concludes: “The Internet can be a very, very dark place, but when life goes downhill, I have my music. Now I want to get out of the controversy, get out of the drama and let people know I’m a singer and that’s what I want to do. ”
In November, Claudia hinted that she was rehearsing for the reality show.
It was months before police showed up at his family’s mansion in Alpine, New Jersey, motivated by the teenager who posted a series of videos claiming that his mother Kellyanne, 54, was abusive and that she also post a photo with your topless.
Despite the drama, the Conways have backed their daughter’s singing ambitions, with George Conway accompanying Claudia to her audition last year.
