Jackie Oshry

Jackie Oshry is a media entrepreneur, podcast host and digital creator with over a decade of experience. Known as Jackie O, she is a social media influencer, co-host and producer of two podcasts, "The Toast" and "The Readheads Book Club."

Oshry gained prominence for her entertaining content on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, often focusing on lifestyle, pop culture, and celebrity gossip. She is the brains behind @JackieOshry, a beauty and lifestyle brand, accumulating over 300,000 cross platform followers. In addition to her podcasting duties, she is the co-founder of Toast News Network.

She is the daughter of Pamela Geller, a controversial conservative political activist known for her anti-Muslim views. In 2018, controversy erupted when past tweets from Oshry resurfaced, revealing inflammatory and racially insensitive remarks. These tweets included derogatory language and stereotypes targeting various minority groups, including African Americans, Jews, and Muslims. The tweets sparked outrage and condemnation, leading to public scrutiny and backlash against Oshry and her family.

Amidst the controversy, advertisers pulled their support from the daily podcast and Oshry issued apologies for her past remarks. However, the fallout from the controversy resulted in significant damage to her reputation and career, as well as strained relationships with her audience and fellow influencers.
