'Shameless' Is His Middle Name: Hunter Biden Is on a Shameless Media Blitz

Flush with a $1.7 million payout in his defamation suit against a flaky former Trump donor, Hunter Biden is on a publicity blitz. He appears on random podcasts, tweets obsessively on X, took to the stage for a live performance in Phoenix and launched a new Substack “Where’s Hunter,” on which he posts long screeds about himself.

It is a little like reading his laptop — without the homemade porn.

The lies are the same, but this new Hunter sounds nothing like the whiny, malicious Hunter who revealed himself in seven years of frantic, crack-inspired musings on his infamous laptop.

The new Hunter is polished, calculated and utterly inauthentic. He is a skillfully manufactured product, and his sudden explosion into the media landscape is anything but organic.

It seems more like a sophisticated publicity rollout by professional PR operatives (which he recently admitted to hiring in an interview with Wired) to promote the upcoming documentary Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris made during the years he was bankrolling the disgraced former first son.

Um, I hadn't heard about the defamation payout, but as nice as the money sounds, $1.7M for what Hunter's in the hole for is chicken feed.

Hunter Biden says he is “grateful that the rule of law prevailed” in a defamation lawsuit that recently netted him a judgment of $1.7m in punitive damages from the former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne.

Biden made that comment in a social media post that served as his first comments about the judgment, which a federal judge in California handed down on Friday.


The post by Joe Biden’s son cited a portion of the ruling that said Byrne “is not credible, fabricates awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media, and fabricated the defamatory story at issue in this case to damage the plaintiff’s reputation”.

US district judge Stephen Wilson’s “order … speaks for itself”, Biden wrote, along with a hyperlink to the decision.

Biden sued Byrne in 2023, maintaining that Byrne lied in an interview that Biden had solicited a bribe from Iran’s government in 2021.
