Weaver is best known for expressing controversial conspiratorial beliefs, formerly appearing on right-wing mass media, such as InfoWars.[3][4]
Weaver made a 2020 documentary called Shadowgate, alleging that a shadow government was responsible for an anti-Trump plot and was orchestrating global events.[5] PolitiFact called Shadowgate an "unfounded conspiracy theory."[6]
Weaver was arrested in August 2020 on charges of theft and assault.[1] Supporters raised over $170,000 for her, claiming she was arrested by the "deep state" over the revelations in Shadowgate.[7] Texas-based right-wing political commentator, conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones fired Weaver from InfoWars after the August 2020 arrest.[8] Weaver tweeted on 21 October 2020 that the charges had been dropped.[9]
Data released in the 6 October 2021 leak of data from streaming platform Twitch showed that Weaver had taken in $9,300 from her channel on the platform from the start of 2021 up to the leak.[10]
