  • Former My Kitchen Rules celebrity chef Pete Evans has spoken up about the "neo-Nazi" controversy that saw his books pulled from shelves of major retailers, branding the incident a "co-ordinated attack".

Pete Evans, a former celebrity chef known from "My Kitchen Rules," has spoken out about his career downfall following a series of controversies, including his association with a neo-Nazi symbol. In an interview, Evans described the backlash as a "coordinated attack" against him, which began after he shared an image of a Sonnenrad, a symbol linked to white supremacy, on social media. This incident led to his swift cancellation from mainstream media, with Channel Seven ending their relationship with him, and his sponsors pulling out. Evans has since claimed that his intention was not to promote hate but to discuss the symbol's historical context. He now focuses on alternative platforms like Telegram to share his views, expressing a sense of relief at being free from mainstream media constraints, while also lamenting the loss of his previous lifestyle and the impact on his family.
