Amal Clooney, international human rights lawyer and wife to actor George Clooney, has many fans, but there is also a group of people who look upon her with suspicion and there are a number of downright bizarre conspiracy theories on the internet about her.
, but when there are so many coincidences, it might be a pattern. Clearly, this particular rumor is false.
Speaking of bizarre conspiracies, there is a theory that links New York House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Hilary Clinton staffer Huma Abedin, and Amal Clooney as part of some strange plot by Saudi Arabia. Supposedly, Ocasio-Cortez bears a striking resemblance to Abedin’s sister, Heba, which has led people to believe that the two women are one-and-the-same. That would mean that Ocasio-Cortez was not actually hispanic, rather she was Saudi Arabian.
That, of course, is laughable. First of all, Abedin is actually of Pakistani descent, and she was born in Michigan, though her family did live in Saudi Arabia for some years. Second of all, there is ample evidence that proves Heba and Ocasio-Cortez are, in fact, separate people. The two women do look somewhat alike, but there are obvious differences that make them stand apart.
Some take this conspiracy even further and allege that Amal, Abedin, Ocasio-Cortez, and New Zealand president Jacinda Ardern are actually all siblings who were test tube babies. These women supposedly were able to rise to positions of authority thanks to the secret organization that created them and scattered them around the world. Does all of that sound confusing and hard to believe? You’d be right to feel that way.
Stepping away from the conspiratorial side of the internet, there is also some outrage over Amal’s profession. Some people question why Amal, who is well known for her human rights activism, doesn’t take on certain cases. Then there’s the outcry over the cases Amal isn’t directly involved in, but has been spoken about. Amal has been very outspoken about the case of Maria Ressa, a prominent journalist from the Philippines, which rubbed some people the wrong way.
