Claudia Conway is defending herself after coming under fire for throwing a sweet 16 party over the weekend.

On Saturday night, the TikTok activist had what seemed to be a Halloween-themed party at her New Jersey home in honor of her 16th birthday. TikTok star Nick Davis was in attendance and the party went viral after he posted a video from it.

Later that same night, Claudia took to Snapchat to explain herself and respond to those criticizing her for throwing a party amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "We met all COVID restrictions and everyone was fairly social distanced, etc," Claudia wrote. "Masks were provided." She explained that the party did get out of hand when people who were "uninvited" showed up, but they eventually kicked everyone out. Claudia also emphasized that she would "never do anything illegal or against COVID restrictions" and that "the local authorities were aware of the gathering."

Claudia has since turned off comments and has gone private on TikTok, most likely to avoid getting hate about the event. This all comes after the 16-year-old revealed she contracted COVID earlier this month after her mother, former senior counsel to the President, Kellyanne Conway, got it from President Trump.

Bloodied Ukrainian troops risk losing more hard-won land in Kursk to Russia
Five months after their shock offensive into Russia, Ukrainian troops are bloodied and demoralized by the rising risk of defeat in Kursk, a region some want to hold at all costs while others question the value of having gone in at all. Communication lags and poorly timed tactics have cost lives, and troops have little way to counterattack, seven front-line soldiers and commanders told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity so they could discuss sensitive operations. Since being caught unaware by the lightning Ukrainian incursion, Russia has amassed more than 50,000 troops in the region, including some from its ally North Korea.
