– Nigel Farage milkshake attack controversy
– Emily Hewertson defends against accusations.
Accident – Death – Obituary News :
On Tuesday (June 4), Nigel Farage, the 60-year-old Brexit Party leader, found himself on the receiving end of a milkshake attack while on the campaign trail in Clacton. This incident occurred just a day after he announced his plans to stand in the general election.
This isn’t the first time that Farage has been targeted with a milkshake during his political campaigning. In 2019, he was famously drenched with the beverage while leading the Brexit Party.
The milkshake incident took place outside the Moon & Starfish pub in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. Photographs captured the moment when Farage was covered in the drink, but he took it in good humor. In a video shared afterwards, Farage can be seen holding a milkshake himself and jokingly singing, “my milkshake brings all the boys to the rally.”
The woman responsible for throwing the milkshake was swiftly arrested by Essex police. However, online speculation misidentified her as a conservative pundit, sparking unfounded conspiracy theories that the incident was staged by Farage. There is no evidence to support these claims.
The woman has since been identified as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, a 25-year-old OnlyFans model. Speaking to the BBC, she explained that she acted on impulse, stating, “He doesn’t stand for me. He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here. He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here.”
Thomas-Bowen was arrested on suspicion of assault by Essex police. Following the incident, erroneous online accusations wrongly implicated Emily Hewertson, a 24-year-old conservative media personality and House of Commons press officer, who denied any involvement on Twitter.
Before Thomas-Bowen was identified, baseless theories circulated that the milkshake incident was orchestrated by Reform UK. Essex Police has not suggested any link to the political party.
