Australian celebrity chef Pete Evans gained notoriety for his controversial views and promotion of alternative health practices. He authored cookbooks such as “The Paleo Way” and “Healthy Every Day” and hosted cooking shows like “My Kitchen Rules” and “The Paleo Way.” However, Evans faced backlash for spreading misinformation about COVID-19, which led to the removal of his Facebook and Instagram accounts. Despite his fall from grace, he resurfaced to promote a fasting retreat and Nightcap Village plans. Evans was fined for making false claims about his wellness products and faced criticism for posting a cartoon associated with neo-Nazis. Notably, he has been banned from Instagram and Facebook for repeatedly sharing inaccurate information about the coronavirus.
