She used to have a public personal Facebook account where she said she was an anti-zionist Jew. She must have deleted her account or made it private because I can’t find it now. Someone asked if her ex husband (Peep’s grandfather) was Jewish and she said no.
re: last comment, need to elaborate that she said peep’s biological grandfather isn’t Jewish
