Infowars' Alex Jones LOSES Custody Battle With Ex-Wife Over 3 Children For "Racist And Homophibia"

Infowars' Alex Jones LOSES Custody Battle With Ex-Wife Over 3 Children For "Racist And Homophibia"

She described America’s most famous conspiracy theorist as “an angry, volatile person who has racist, homophobic views” and “is enraged and out of control most of the time”.

She said that Alex “doesn’t believe in traditional medicine” and refuses to vaccinate his children. She added that she is concerned that her children are exposed to his beliefs at home and that “they are morphing into him.”

In the end, beyond the headlines and the tweetable witness stand rants of Jones are three children, aged 9 to 14, who have been through great emotional distress since the couple divorced in March 2015. For them, the difficulties of the divorce and the custody battle will persist long after the trial falls out of the news, and that is no conspiracy. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones loses child custody battle. RRight-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lost his court battle against his former wife. After a 10-day trial in Texas, it was decided that he would not get custody of his three children. According to a BuzzFeed report, the jury deliberated for about nine and a half hours and released the ruling late in the evening. Kelly Jones will continue joint custody of the children with the ability to decide where the children live. Before the case, she had joint custody but only limited and supervised visitation with the children living with their father. Mr. Jones apparently sat stoic-faced, BuzzFeed said and refused to speak to reporters following the trial. Ms. Jones hugged her attorney and wiped tears from her eyes.

“I’m so blessed to have such a wonderful support system and I just pray that what’s happened to my family that people can understand what parental alienation syndrome is and get an awareness of it so we can stop this from happening to others,” Ms. Jones told reporters.

“Mr. Jones is like a cult leader,” Ms. Jones’ attorney Robert Hoffman told the jury. “And we’ve seen the horrific damage cult leaders do to their followers.”

Mr. Jones’ attorney argued that the “character” of Alex Jones he plays on InfoWars is nothing more than a “performance artist” and an act. A psychologist also formally diagnosed Mr. Jones with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The jury obviously agreed with Ms. Jones. InfoWars’ Alex Jones Loses Custody Case, Ex-Wife Wins Right to Decide Where Children Live.

Alex Jones suffered a dramatic defeat in his custody battle Thursday night in a trial that questioned both Jones’ future visitation of his children and the legitimacy of his performances on his conspiracy theory website and talk show, InfoWars.

The couple will receive joint custody and Kelly Jones, the ex-wife of the InfoWars host, will have the right to decide who the children live with. The jury ruled 10-2 in Kelly’s favor following 10 hours of deliberation at the end of the nine-day trial. Jones had previously been joint managing conservator and the three children lived at his residence. Kelly saw them sparingly, only 5 times so far this year, according to her attorneys. A central question in the case, and the main reason for wider interest in what is essentially a child custody case, has been whether or not Alex’s off-air persona is the same as what viewers have seen on InfoWars—or if he is merely a kind-hearted, doting, and soft spoken father off camera. Jones’ lawyers have notably argued that his on-air persona is an act, an assertion that could potentially cast some doubt on his often over-the-top political claims, including doubts that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre ever occurred. Regardless, questions about InfoWars have been something of a moot point due to Judge Orlinda Naranjo’s refusal to allow the trial to focus on the program or Alex’s politics. Ex-wife Kelly Jones’ attorneys only brought a few videos to enter into evidence, and all but two were ruled inadmissible by Naranjo: a clip of Alex apparently inebriated in DC on inauguration night bellowing that “1776 will commence again”.
