The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

During her college days, Lee Ann McAdoo started her work as a journalist and also maintained blogs to publish her reports. She previously used the online alias ‘Bohemian Lee’ and had the website BohemianLee.com, as well as the private WordPress blog Bohemianleedotcom.wordpress.com. However, she has since then discontinued most of her websites and social media accounts with that alias. With her current name/alias, she became an anchor and a reporter for InfoWars.com in 2013, and immediately took the alternate news world by storm. Soon after, she beat another alternative media reporter Ana Kasparian in popularity in an online poll. Many of the InfoWars.com critics believe that she was hired by Alex Jones merely for sex appeal.

Controversies & Scandals

As an alternative media reporter, Lee Ann McAdoo often criticizes traditional media stating that its purpose is to hide truth, and maintains that alternative news attempts to expose the truth to the public. However, it is often seen as hypocritical as the alternative media, including InfoWars.com, often sources information from biased links, and sometimes even provides flat lies. She has also been criticized by liberal media for her unwavering support to Donald Trump despite numerous scandals, and also for her often biased views on Left-wing politics and anti-Hillary Clinton propaganda.

In 2015, she became involved in a scandal with InfoWars.com host Alex Jones after information surfaced that Jones' wife Kelly Rebecca Nichols (aka Violet Jones) had filed for divorce from him back in December 2013. It was generally believed that Lee Ann McAdoo was the reason behind the split. To add to the rumors, a whistleblower, who released the divorce settlement between the two in 2015, claimed that Jones had an affair with a female co-worker that everybody on the InfoWars.com team were well aware of. On June 30, 2016, both Jones and McAdoo addressed the controversy in an episode of their show and attempted to put the rumors to rest.

Being associated with a controversial alternative news media outlet is apparently not the only controversy Lee Ann McAdoo has courted over the past few years. In fact, there have been rumors that even her name, Lee Ann McAdoo, is not her real name, but one of the many online aliases she took up over the years to hide the identity of her family. People who searched her through various online peoples portals, most commonly found the name Leeann Fleisner to be associated with her. However, there have been other suggestions, including Sarah Epstein, even though most agree that ‘Lee’ might be her first or middle name as it comes up very often in her online aliases.
