Khloe Kardashian faces fierce backlash after having Trump supporter Dana White on her podcast

Khloe Kardashian faces fierce backlash after having Trump supporter Dana White on her podcast

Khloe Kardashian was joined by UFC CEO Dana White on the latest episode of her podcast on Thursday – and has since been slammed by fans on social media.

The TV personality, 40 – who launched the Khloe In Wonder Land podcast earlier this year in January – uploaded BTS moments and snippets from her interview with White, 55, to her main Instagram page.

The pair sat down to discuss a number of topics on the episode such as loyalty, family and boxing as a ‘universal sport.’

However, some fans were less than thrilled on the reality star’s guest pick – with some calling out Dana for being a MAGA supporter and also referencing the past incident where he slapped his wife in public two years earlier.

One penned in the comment section on Instagram, ‘Oh no no no girl… this man is a huge Trumper.’

Another wrote, ‘Y’all were already flopping and now you got this humpty dumpty trumpy on the pod? Call PR plsssss.’

‘I’m surprised she had Dana White on,’ a fan added, while one typed, ‘UFC president Dana White is sharing his regrets over a viral video of him slapping his wife, Anne White. Khloe supports abusive men.’ 

‘The same dude that put his hands on his wife on camera?’ another shared, and one commented, ‘How disappointing.’ 

Over on Reddit, a social media user penned: ‘I can’t understand why she thought it would be smart to start a podcast. and why TF did they think Dana White would make a good guest?!?’ 

The episode was also uploaded to the podcast’s official YouTube page, where fans also had the chance to offer their differing opinions. 

‘Nothing has ever confused me more than this crossover,’ one typed, and another shared, ‘Terrible to have him on.’ 

But other social media users supported Khloe’s guest of choice and one wrote, ‘I never EVER expected Dana White on a Kardashian podcast. Love Dana!!’

‘The guest diversity is exceptional,’ another added, while a fan commented, ‘Didn’t expect this guest!! Love it.’ 

In the short Instagram clip, White could be seen arriving to the podcast set and shared a hug with Khloe who happily greeted him.

Shortly before the interview, the businessman also encouraged Kardashian to do ‘cold-plunging’ and she responded by saying that she has a cold plunge at home but ‘doesn’t use it.’ 

Dana White has been a public supporter of President Donald Trump and was seen with him last year during the U.S. presidential campaign.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored a few months earlier in February, White opened up about his feelings towards Trump’s victory of a second term in the White House. 

‘Think about this, winning this election after everything that’s happened over the last few years is an amazing achievement and an incredible comeback story.’

He added, ‘Think of all the things President Trump had to go through to get back here, all the powerful forces that tried to take him down: the mainstream media, partisan prosecutors, ᴀssᴀssins.

‘It’s absolutely insane what this man has been through. And only President Trump could have fought through all those obstacles, all the attacks and still come out the winner.’

The UFC CEO continued, ‘But you know what? That’s just what he is. This guy is a winner.’ 

Most recently, the pair were pictured together over the weekend when Trump made an appearance at the UFC 314 in Miami.

Back in early 2023, a video went viral that showed Dana and his wife Anne in a physical altercation at a New Year’s Eve bash in Mexico. 

After she slapped him, White could be seen slapping her back in the face – which he later spoke out on and apologized. 

In a statement to TMZ at the time, the businessman said, ‘My wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately that is what happened.

‘I am one of the guys who says there is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.’

He added, ‘This is one of those situations that is horrible. I am embarrᴀssed. We have three kids and since the video popped up, we have shown the kids and we are more focused on our family right now.

‘People are going to have their opinions on this and people’s opinions would be right, especially in my case. You don’t put your hands on a woman, ever.’

His wife Anne – whom he tied the knot with in 1996 and shares three children with – also broke her silence after the incident. 

‘To say this is out of character for him is an understatement – nothing like this has ever happened before.’ 

She continued, ‘Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other.’ 

The Kardashian family has also been seen with members of the Trump family, with Kim being pals with Ivanka Trump.

During his first term in the White House, Kim also visited Donald Trump in order to talk about prison reform. 

Earlier this week on Monday, Khloe was also seen supporting Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez during the Blue Origin space launch. In January, both Bezos and Sanchez attended Trump’s inauguration in Washington D.C. 

During Thursday’s episode, Khloe and Dana had a discussion about parenting – and the TV personality revealed that she doesn’t allow her children to do sleepovers. 

The Good American founder is mom to daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, two, whom she shares with ex Tristan Thompson. 

‘I don’t let my kids sleep anywhere. I’m very strict about it,’ she explained. 

‘Times are different, so I won’t let my daughter, or my son, who’s 2½, but they’re not allowed to have sleepovers just because I’m one of those types of… I just – I think too much. I’ve watched too much Dateline.’
