The NY Post Went Full Tabloid on Hasan Piker's Personal Life. AOL Is Happy to Help.
A June 2 Post 'exclusive' is getting a second lap on June 18, landing just as Democrats are publicly asking whether Piker is more liability than asset. Timing! Allegedly!
Darlings, the conservative media assembly line does not rest. While the Public Discourse pagan op-ed was still warm, a New York Post piece from June 2 titled, and we are quoting directly, "Hasan Piker's seedy, sex-obsessed life: Soliciting nudes, list of best breasts, and a separate laptop for porn" got a fresh coat of AOL paint on June 18. Two bites of the same apple, and they want you to taste both.
What the piece claims: Per the Post's reporting, the allegations involve soliciting nude photos, maintaining some kind of ranked list of women's bodies, and keeping a dedicated device for pornography. The Post framed it as an "exclusive." The sourcing and methodology behind those claims are not spelled out in what surfaced.
What Piker has said about it: Nothing in the fresh signal indicates a public response to this specific piece. Darling, that is not a denial, but it is also not a confirmation of anything. We are watching.
Why the timing matters: The AOL re-amplification lands the same day the Daily Camera published a piece asking whether Democrats should even be platforming online figures like Piker after the Denver venue cancellations. According to that report, party insiders are allegedly weighing whether streamers help or hurt campaigns. The Post hit piece and the strategic hand-wringing arriving on the same news cycle is, let's say, a journey.
What the pattern looks like: And if this feels familiar, it's because Fox News called him a pagan approximately 24 hours before this got fresh legs. The playbook is: Israel quote, pagan label, personal life exposé, repeat. We wish him strength in this trying time of his own making, but we will note that his follower count has not visibly suffered through any of it.
What we still don't know: Whether Piker addresses the Post piece directly, whether any Democrats on record will name him specifically as a liability, and whether the "separate laptop" allegation has any documentation attached to it or is purely sourced from anonymous grievance. Keep receipts, my loves, because this pile-on is not finished stacking.
At this rate, the Post has a new Piker vertical by July.
