‘Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans. Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina. Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!’ 

In November, the Diamond and Silk Twitter account, which promotes the duo as ‘Trump’s most loyal supporters,’ requested that supporters pray for Hardaway but did not provide a reason. 

‘Anyone who believes in the power of prayer please pray for Diamond,’ it said. 

A few days prior, the account had posted about her 51st birthday. 

In 2020, the sisters were let go from their jobs at Fox News for promoting conspiracy theories about the coronavirus including that COVID-19 death figures were being manipulated to make Trump appear bad

The Daily Beast reported that Hardaway returned to her show the following month and denied unverified online reports that she had been hospitalized with COVID-19.

She filmed her last episode on December 15th. 

In 2020, the sisters were let go from their jobs at Fox News for promoting conspiracy theories about the coronavirus, including allegations that the virus was intentionally spread by ‘deep-state snakes’ and that a vaccine would be used for population control. 

They also promoted the conspiracy theory on-air that COVID-19 death figures were being manipulated to make Trump appear bad.

 Diamond and Silk then joined the fringe network Newsmax with their show ‘Diamond and Silk: Crystal Clear’ and claimed to be Trump’s ‘most loyal supporters.’

The two women came to the fore during Trump’s 2016 campaign for president where they supported him with commentary on their YouTube channel. 

The duo were at one time lifelong Democrats but switched allegiance to support Trump following his 2015 presidential campaign announcement.

In 2018, the sisters testified before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation about supposed attempts to shut down their Facebook page. 

Their appearance came amid Republican claims of anti-Republican bias on the platform. 

In 2020, they released the co-written book ‘Uprising,’ which they claimed became a bestseller.
