Controversy

Klepacka's comments received hundreds of reactions, including many from fans in agreement with her stance.[4] She also applauded a right wing publication that equated LGBT people to Nazis.[5][6] She is also a vociferous opponent of abortion rights[7] In 2019 she featured in a far-right propaganda video on YouTube which was later taken down for inciting hatred.[8] [9]
