Conservative comedian Steven Crowder announced Tuesday that he is in the process of divorcing his wife.
Steven Crowder revealed his imminent divorce from his wife Hilary Korzon in an episode of his podcast “Louder With Crowder.” Crowder claimed that his wife first sought the divorce in 2021 and that it was not sparked by infidelity or physical abuse. The pair have been married since 2012.
“I have been living with a proverbial boot on my neck for going on years now,” Crowder said. (RELATED: YouTube CEO Explains Why She Didn’t Ban Steven Crowder)

“Some of these threats were so thinly veiled that I’m frankly surprised that you didn’t all guess immediately,” Crowder said.
Crowder said that he wants to keep the divorce a private issue for the sake of his children.
“In all this, one thing I wanna be really clear about is certain. True north here is that my children are blameless, completely without fault, and so we decided to resolve these issues privately as it’s in their best interest both emotionally and physically to do so,” Crowder said.
