CLAUDIA Conway, the daughter of Republican political strategist Kellyanne Conway, has embarked on a modeling career with Playboy.

While Conway now claims to have a much-improved relationship with her mother, it has not always been so.

From attacking her career, leaking her mother’s positive Covid-19 test, and sharing videos of their shouting matches, the pair’s difficult relationship has been very public.

The daughter of Donald Trump‘s former advisor regularly took to social media to berate her mother, both personally and politically.

She called her mother “selfish” for gunning for a political career and started calling her “Smelly Kelly.”

Kellyanne Conway resigned from her role at the White House “to spend more time with my family,” she said in 2020.

Her father George Conway, an outspoken Trump critic, was not excluded from his daughter’s online rants.

At the age of 15, Claudia caused a family scandal when she claimed on social media that her parents’ marriage was over and had ‘failed.’

Though the couple has since divorced, at the time they were left rattled by their daughter’s public announcement.

A month later she claimed that she was “pushing for emancipation” from her parents.

She added on Twitter: “Buckle up because this is probably going to be public one way or another, unfortunately. Welcome to my life.”

After this, the outspoken teen claimed that her parents forced her off social media while she posted anti-Trump and Black Lives Matter content.

She tweeted: “My parents, particularly my mother, are trying to silence me by getting me to delete my social media.”

Despite this claim, Kellyanne previously said that she was supportive of her daughter’s independent expression, according to The Post.

The mother revealed in her memoir “Here’s The Deal” that she was scared for her daughter’s safety when she went viral online at just 15 years old.

A thread had been made on Twitter by a New York Times reporter of all of Claudia’s anti-Trump posts from TikTok.

Her daughter then reposted this to her 100,000 followers at the time and this filled her mother with dread.

Kellyanne wrote: “Any one of [those followers] could now paw through the daily details of my teenage daughter’s life and whatever thoughts and emotions might have passed through her active mind.

“This of course is the dream of every teenage girl who is on social media, but her parents’ nightmare.”

She added how she felt immediate “terror for Claudia’s safety.”

In 2021, despite Kellyanne taking a break from her career to focus on family, Claudia again caused trouble online with a video of a shouting match between the mother and daughter.

Her previous claims of emancipation from her parents were allegedly made due to “years of childhood trauma and abuse,” she later clarified that it was mainly verbal.

In another bid for fame, Claudia auditioned for American Idol where she revealed that her relationship with her mom Kellyanne was “iffy” as she admitted the internet is a “dark place.”

The comments from Conway came after she accused her mom of allegedly posting a nude picture of her weeks before her audition, which aired during an episode of American Idol.

However, both George and Kellyanne were seen supporting their daughter on the show.

By July of that year, the relationship between Claudia and Kellyanne appeared to be on the mend after they both sought therapy.

Claudia wrote on Twitter: “I can finally and fortunately tell you, with all the elation in my heart, that I am happy and safe. Forgiveness has taught me a lot.

“I love my mother and she will always inspire me, despite our public conflicts.

“I am proud that we are living proof of breaking the cycle.”

She added on TikTok: “I know a lot of people are confused about my situation, but I am happy and I’m safe, and my relationship with my mom is actually really good right now.

“She’s getting the guidance she needs, I got the guidance I needed, we got the guidance we needed together.”

Claudia, now 18 years old and openly gay, has over 1.6million followers on TikTok.

Following a social media break, Conway has now returned to announce that she is a new model for Playboy.

The popular magazine has launched an online platform, similar to OnlyFans after the physical magazine was axed.

Those on the platform can have access to a mixture of free and paid content much like that of the classic magazine.

Speaking to Variety, a spokesperson for Playboy said: “Many of our creators do not have nudity on their pages.

“While we allow nudity, we do not allow explicit content or pornography…

“We are not positioning this as an ‘adult’ platform—it’s for everyone, including mainstream creators sharing behind the scenes of their lives.”

Playboy bunny models like Claudia have to send in an application and be approved by the company, unlike OnlyFans when anyone can set up an account.

In a statement given to The Post, Playboy said: “Claudia Conway is one of many women who have found freedom, autonomy, and major financial success on our creator platform.

“We welcome her and support her choices.”

Just six months after her 18th birthday, Conway began posting on the subscription page.

On Twitter, she said that the decision was part of her goal to “reclaim my womanhood and femininity in a way that is truly mine.”

She added: “I am putting myself out there in a way that is MY OWN and no one else’s.”
