On my first try, I pronounce it \u201cpeel-oh\u201d and get a confused look in response, so I spell it out instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, <em>pillow<\/em>,\u201d Patty laughs, once she realizes what I\u2019m looking at. \u201cThat\u2019s our joke. We call them Pillow One, Two, and Three.\u201d She laughs again. Then she blushes, as she does each time something cracks her up but doesn\u2019t register with me as funny. I first knew Patty as \u201cGatorfisch,\u201d her username since 2013 on Tumblr, where she goes for photos of cute animals and discussions of liberal politics, among other things. She is 49, and has a 15-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old grandson. Her husband, she wrote to me a few days before we met in person, would not be allowing me to come into their home, in case I hacked his computer. (\u201cNothing personal,\u201d she assured me\u2014he deals with highly sensitive information at his job.)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-2\">\n<p>So I\u2019m sitting in a coffee shop near her house in Reno, Nevada, just a few days before the coronavirus started closing businesses like these. And I\u2019m asking her this question because, for the past five years, Patty has been one of the most prolific and well-known Tumblr bloggers making the case that Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s wife, Sophie Hunter, is a criminal, who has been blackmailing him for years to stay in a sham marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Patty works in the operations department of a mortgage company, but she hasn\u2019t updated her LinkedIn page in years, because she doesn\u2019t want people on Tumblr contacting her current employer. (I granted her request to use only her first name in this piece because, in the past, she\u2019s received a threatening letter at her home address, and she says her personal information has been published online repeatedly.) Having spent her youth living in several southern states before moving to Nevada 20 years ago, she has a sugar-water southern accent that soaks normal conversation with charm but makes caustic accusations sound even more ominous. Such as when she tells me that she spotted cocaine stains on Hunter\u2019s jumpsuit in a photo taken days after she \u201csupposedly\u201d gave birth, at a party for the opening of an Annie Leibovitz exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if it\u2019s only on Tumblr, I want her to know that she\u2019s not getting away with it,\u201d she says warmly, as if sharing a family recipe. \u201cI want her to know that somebody knows what she\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-3\">\n<p class=\"dropcap\">Hunter and Cumberbatch\u2019s first son was born in June 2015. This was just two months before One Direction member Louis Tomlinson announced that he would be having a baby with a former fling, Briana Jungwirth\u2014a child that has also been declared \u201cfake\u201d by bloggers on Tumblr, some of whom still reject the idea that he is Tomlinson\u2019s real child, even now that he is 4 years old. Before then, in 2011, the heady early years of social media produced the theory that Beyonc\u00e9 faked being pregnant with Blue Ivy to cover up use of a surrogate; the same speculation dogged Kim Kardashian\u2019s second pregnancy in 2015. (Through her publicist, Beyonc\u00e9 called those rumors \u201cstupid, ridiculous and false.\u201d Kardashian addressed the rumors about her on Instagram, with a naked photo of her pregnant body.) More recently, conspiracy theorists have decided that Meghan Markle faked the birth of her son, Archie. Many of them refer to him as \u201cDarren,\u201d a reference to a model of hyper-realistic baby doll that could be used in photo ops in place of a real baby. \u201cPeople are not stupid,\u201d one wrote <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/p_daven2\/status\/1220768278634815489\" data-omni-click=\"r'article',r'',d,r'intext',r'5',r'614089'\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on Twitter<\/a> in January. \u201cShe is sick!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The primary evidence for these claims is usually a blurry photo or two in which a baby bump appears \u201cdeflated\u201d or \u201cshifted.\u201d A visible wrinkle in a shirt can be deemed evidence of a prosthetic. An expecting mother who disappears from the public eye during her pregnancy can easily be accused of hiding something. Many of the images that purport to reveal the truth are doctored or taken at a strange angle, but can be convincing enough if you\u2019re looking quickly and looking to believe. In the case of Hunter\u2019s first pregnancy, amateur sleuths doodled over images of her in a bikini on vacation, making the case that her bump was, somehow, upside down.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-4\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the most influential voices in celebrity gossip is a blogger and entertainment lawyer who goes by the pen name Enty. Since 2006, he has been running the website Crazy Days and Nights, serving a devout audience who email him tips every day, and frustrating publicists who know it can be more dangerous to refute a story than to ignore it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI don\u2019t like hypocrites. <em>People<\/em> magazine and TMZ are owned by film studios, record labels. They have an agenda; they\u2019re giving you a sanitized view of celebrity,\u201d Enty tells me. \u201cThey call it gossip, but we know what gossip really is. That\u2019s the thing that keeps me obsessed and the thing that makes me want to keep writing\u2014looking for these holes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He goes down the list for me. It\u2019s \u201cpretty obvious\u201d that Beyonc\u00e9 used a surrogate with Blue Ivy. It\u2019s \u201cpretty obvious\u201d that Tomlinson didn\u2019t write the tweet announcing the birth of his son, so who did? Liam Payne, another former member of One Direction, may or may not be the father of the singer Cheryl\u2019s baby (\u201cCheryl is just a master of fake relationships; I never really trust anything that she does. But there\u2019s not enough interest for me to dig around in Cheryl\u2019s life and find out.\u201d)\u00a0 Markle was \u201ccradling a baby bump when she was supposedly less than two months pregnant, and it just didn\u2019t make any sense.\u201d And then, Hunter. No opinion on the first two kids, but \u201cthere\u2019s supposedly this third kid named Finn, born in 2019, and nobody has ever seen the child.\u201d (Although media outlets reported in 2018 that Hunter and Cumberbatch were expecting their third child, the couple haven\u2019t confirmed it publicly, and they are known for being extremely private.)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-5\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A gossip site is not what we would typically call a dark corner of the internet, but a deliberately concocted air of mystery surrounds Enty and his \u201csources,\u201d not unlike the one that surrounds, say, QAnon. His podcast, which comes out with at least 20 episodes a month, is paywalled on Patreon and advertised with a warning: \u201cWelcome to my world. Enter at your own risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"full-width\" style=\"max-width: 960.0px;\"><picture style=\"display: block; position:relative; width:100%; height:0; overflow:hidden; padding-bottom:100.0%;\"><img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.theatlantic.com\/thumbor\/MFhuPb32RYv3TGxfOygEIx451-w=\/960x960\/media\/img\/posts\/2020\/07\/Atlantic_Babies_2000x1125Atlantic_Spot_2_1_1\/original.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; top:0; left:0; border:0;\"\/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<section id=\"article-section-6\">\n<p class=\"dropcap\">In the summer of 2014, the year after Patty joined Tumblr, Cumberbatch and Hunter were spotted together for the first time. By November they were engaged. The Cumberbatch fandom was in chaos.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cTumblr blew up. You couldn\u2019t not see stuff about it,\u201d Patty says. Some fans were thrilled by the whirlwind romance, but others doubted it could be anything other than a PR stunt, and combed the internet for evidence. They reblogged GIFs of Hunter seemingly stomping out of rooms or scowling at her fianc\u00e9, and they raised alarm bells about Hunter fan blogs that seemed to spring up overnight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After Hunter revealed a baby bump at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2015, Cumberbatch fans quickly pointed out that the two had arrived separately, and latched onto video frames in which it seemed as though he was surprised to see the bump. \u201cThe look on his face&#8230; And the look on <em>her<\/em> face. I was like, <em>Uh-oh<\/em>. I was like, <em>Oh, somebody\u2019s trying to trap him<\/em>.\u201d At that point, she says, she didn\u2019t think Weinstein was behind it anymore. Hunter, she believed, had gone rogue. \u201cThat\u2019s when I stopped just being a bystander and started making posts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-7\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Patty\u2019s following grew to just over 1,000, and \u201csources\u201d began approaching her each time information was lacking. \u201cEvery time I start to question it, one of my sources comes to me or something happens and it kind of drags me back in,\u201d she says. \u201cI just kind of fell down the rabbit hole and haven\u2019t really come out of it yet totally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Not everyone who blogs about the imagined misdeeds of Sophie Hunter imagines those misdeeds to be the same. Among the self-named \u201cskeptics\u201d are those who believe that Hunter and Cumberbatch\u2019s marriage is a PR stunt gone wrong, or merely classically unhappy, but that all of the children are real. There are those who believe that one or two of the children are real and the others aren\u2019t. There are those, like Patty, who believe Hunter to be guilty of various felonies and cinematic criminal conspiracies. (To be clear, there is no evidence to support any of these claims about Hunter\u2019s marriage, pregnancies, or supposed criminal activity. Representatives for Hunter and Cumberbatch declined to respond to multiple requests for comment.)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThere\u2019s word on the street she was an escort at one point, and might still be escorting,\u201d Patty says, adding that she\u2019s also been told that in the beginning of their relationship, Hunter kept Cumberbatch hooked on drugs to control him. Patty believes she knows Hunter\u2019s IP address, and says she tracked it flying to Osaka, Japan, for a day, then flying right back. \u201cI was talking to one of my sources, and I was told she\u2019s also in with some really nasty people who are in with human trafficking,\u201d she says, by way of explaining the purpose for this supposed trip. \u201cAnd that\u2019s how I put it. I didn\u2019t necessarily say she was a human trafficker, but she was hanging out with people who were part of a human-trafficking network. And I showed that. I said, <em>Make of it what you will<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-8\">\n<p class=\"dropcap\">Though the pop-culture image of a conspiracy theorist is a man in his mother\u2019s basement, or an Alex Jones devotee typing himself into a sweat on Reddit, women have always had their own remarkable and terrifying ideas about how the world may secretly work.<\/p>\n<p>As the political scientist Michael Barkun explains in his 2003 book, <em>A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America<\/em>, it\u2019s possible that hardly anyone in the United States would ever have heard of the Illuminati had it not been for the efforts of the British conspiracy theorist Nesta Webster, a foremother of American conspiracism. She wrote extensively about the Illuminati\u2019s efforts to create a Communist world government led by a Jewish cabal, and also blamed the group for World War I. Barkun\u2019s book credits her and another female conspiracy theorist, Edith Starr Miller, with \u201cthe concept of a kind of interlocking directorate of conspirators who operate through a network of secret societies,\u201d which has since informed decades of American conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been much focused study on women and conspiracy-theory belief,\u201d says Erin Kempker, a history professor at the Mississippi University for Women and the author of <em>Big Sister: Feminism, Conservatism, and Conspiracy in the Heartland<\/em>. \u201cI think there is a perception that it\u2019s a largely male world. I didn\u2019t find that to be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kempker\u2019s book focuses on the second wave of feminism in the Midwest in the 1970s, which conservative women insisted, partly successfully, was part of a conspiracy to create a one-world government, homogenize the sexes, and eradicate Christian family life. \u201cWhat I found were women absolutely immersed in a conspiratorial worldview,\u201d she says. \u201cThey had newsletters where they shared conspiratorial ideas with one another. They had book lists. They would write articles. These were women\u2019s organizations. I would say we need to rethink the stereotype. Women are definitely capable of creating conspiracy theories and spreading conspiracy theories and believing conspiracy theories. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a gender divide on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-9\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The difference between theories about famous women and their babies and theories about supposed political conspiracies isn\u2019t form or sentiment, it\u2019s proper nouns. Some bloggers on Tumblr refer to believers in the fake-baby theories as \u201cbirthers,\u201d with the aim of invoking all the dangerous disavowal of truth that word implies. Though the women Kempker studied feared government intervention, not manipulation by Hollywood stars, the basic pattern holds: Conspiracism of all kinds is about identifying a powerful cabal and creating a narrative around it as a means of grasping some kind of control over the mysterious events of the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And it\u2019s often about anger, too. Modern theories about \u201cfake\u201d celebrity babies come with a cocktail of resentment toward the hypocrisy of celebrity, the dishonesty of the media, and the unflappable confidence of the elite, who get away with whatever they want. \u201cCheryl will literally milk this until we all turn to dust,\u201d a One Direction fan who believes that Liam Payne\u2019s son is not really his wrote on Tumblr. \u201cUnless I was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning or had a head wound, I wouldn\u2019t believe Cherliam was a real relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Self-identified &#8220;skeptics&#8221; of Cumberbatch\u2019s marriage call the fans who defend Hunter \u201cnannies\u201d\u2014because of the way they coddle him\u2014and the six most powerful nannies \u201c\u00fcbers.\u201d Patty also calls them stalkers, and says they\u2019re the type to collect Cumberbatch\u2019s \u201csnotty tissues\u201d and fantasize about being in love with him. (Romantic interest does not play into Patty\u2019s personal fascination.) According to Patty, the \u201cnannies\u201d have threatened to tell her employer about her online activity, and suggested that she kill herself. She shows me a few anonymous messages, and then she shows me another that she believes is from Hunter herself. (It is very obviously not.)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-10\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Patty sees her work as fundamentally humanitarian: She believes that by identifying Hunter as a \u201cnarcissist,\u201d she\u2019s helping other people see that they\u2019ve been manipulated. She\u2019s known narcissistic women throughout her life, she says, including a college roommate and a former co-worker, as well as her brother\u2019s ex-wife, who she claims left him penniless, and her father\u2019s ex-wife, who she says tried to murder him.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAnytime I do think maybe I will stop, the bullying starts again and I\u2019m like, <em>You know what, nah, I\u2019m going to still be here to be a thorn in their side<\/em>,\u201d she tells me. \u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of people reach out to me and say, <em>Oh my gosh, because of you bringing all this to our attention and commentary of what we\u2019re seeing in these photos, it made me realize that I have that person in my life too<\/em>. Or <em>I\u2019ve always felt like I was losing my mind and now I know I\u2019m not<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Though Cumberbatch himself has been clear that he hates what people on the internet are saying about his family, Patty has been undeterred. He\u2019s obviously not happy with her, she says, but information still gets out. It\u2019s almost as though he\u2019s dog-whistling, and letting people know it\u2019s okay to bring things to her. Otherwise, why wouldn\u2019t he just ignore it? (As with most conspiracy theories, everything is part of the narrative\u2014even things that would seem to disprove the narrative.)<\/p>\n<p>She isn\u2019t sure that he has personally read her blog, but she thinks a couple of his friends probably have, and she\u2019s \u201c99.999 percent\u201d sure that Hunter has. The Department of Justice has as well, according to another of her IP address lookups. This is the kind of attention that comes with special work, as one of the few who can understand and is willing to expose the secret machinations of the elite\u2014though Patty also expresses some humility and says she\u2019s mostly a mouthpiece for other people\u2019s research and information. She has the temperament to put up with harassment; not everyone does. She does it for them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"full-width\" style=\"max-width: 960.0px;\"><picture style=\"display: block; position:relative; width:100%; height:0; overflow:hidden; padding-bottom:100.0%;\"><img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.theatlantic.com\/thumbor\/r-fcqzZJADG6SYWgFDmPmRYu4C4=\/960x960\/media\/img\/posts\/2020\/07\/Atlantic_Spot_01_1\/original.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; top:0; left:0; border:0;\"\/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<section id=\"article-section-11\">\n<p class=\"dropcap\">\u201cI was told by two different people that they heard [Hunter] say things to [Cumberbatch] that made them want to hit her, because it was just so horrible,\u201d Patty tells me, when I ask if there is evidence that Hunter is abusive.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-12\">\n<p>She returns to it later, saying that one of those people was a friend of Cumberbatch\u2019s who wanted to punch Hunter, even though he\u2019d never wanted to punch a woman before. Though she brings up the idea of violence against Hunter, she never expressly advocates it. But it\u2019s not only Hunter\u2014telling a story about a former co-worker, she says, \u201cWhen she\u2019d walk out of the room, people would go, <em>I just want to grab her by the head and just slam her up against the wall<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When I ask her if any of this sounds misogynistic to her, she says no. She identifies as a feminist. To her, it\u2019s Hunter who is \u201csetting women\u2019s rights back [and] making everybody look bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the thread that ties Tumblr conspiracy blogs to the dominant conversation of the broader internet\u2014in the age of Instagram artifice and personal brands and image above all else, what do we spend more time doing than policing the self-presentation of women?<\/p>\n<p>The internet didn\u2019t invent conspiracism, but it did make spreading conspiracy theories easier and more fun. \u201cYou\u2019ve got a lot of crackpots contacting you saying they\u2019ve got inside information,\u201d says Ted Casablanca, who wrote for <em>E! News<\/em> for nearly two decades. \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to take the time to make a phone call or write a letter. You just pushed a button. And you know, it created a frenzy.\u201d The tips he started receiving after the rise of social media were much weirder than before, he says, but not only that. \u201cMore sanctimonious. Much more <em>She\u2019s doing this and she\u2019s wrong<\/em>, or <em>She\u2019s doing this and I hate her<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-13\">\n<p>These conversations happen all over the internet, but Tumblr is a particularly serviceable platform for intricate, \u201cevidence-based\u201d theorizing because of its nesting-doll reblog structure, which allows groups of bloggers to build on one another\u2019s work layer by layer in rapid succession. It\u2019s also insular\u2014far more difficult to search than Twitter, less immediately comprehensible to outsiders than even Reddit. Users are allowed to identify by pseudonym, they are allowed to change that pseudonym whenever they like, and they are allowed to have multiple identities at once. This facilitates all kinds of expression, a lot of which is beneficial to society\u2014the platform became a cultural force because it created a secluded place for LGBTQ communities and young people of color. But these can also be the conditions for gossip and suspicion\u2014what spirals out from them is impossible to hold anyone in particular accountable for.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before social media, it was also less possible to \u201cprove\u201d a celebrity conspiracy. An early example of the practice of ordinary people gathering \u201cevidence\u201d and publishing it online occurred within the <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> fandom in the early aughts, which used screenshots from behind-the-scenes DVDs and easily accessible paparazzi photography to make the case on LiveJournal that various combinations of co-stars were in love. Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan, in particular, followed by Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom. These theories were often teased by gossip columnists like Casablanca, who wrote at the time, \u201cYou\u2019ve heard the stories, right? All that ferocious frolicking those <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> riders have been getting up to?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-14\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2014, a Lancaster University doctoral student, Anna Martin, wrote about these stories as \u201cstar texts,\u201d and described their allure: \u201cStar texts allow for fantasies not only of wealth and leisure, but of a life in which love is the only concern.\u201d To her, the switch point at which a fan-fiction writer strives to transform into a documentarian was far more intriguing than the stories themselves. The <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> shipping community pushed over the line of fantasy and into \u201cproof\u201d because of the wealth of information and imagery the internet made possible. The entertainment industry\u2019s embrace of behind-the-scenes extras; elaborate, fan-focused marketing campaigns; and expansive franchises with \u201cuniverses\u201d of their own\u2014which happened alongside the rise of social media and a new golden age of celebrity gossip\u2014\u201cproduced audiences who are primed to follow complex storylines across different delivery platforms, and who are familiar with narrative deliveries that require them to do the work of piecing storylines together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tumblr \u201cmasterposts\u201d and \u201carchives\u201d also lend projects like these a feeling of gravitas and scholarship. Conspiracy theories here, as everywhere, tend to interlock, and Patty has a passing interest in Markle only because she believes she and Hunter share nefarious connections through the elite club Soho House. Another major Hunter-skeptic blogger who goes by Aeltrileaf writes about Markle often, and refers to her as \u201cMaggot.\u201d She posts about political conspiracies as well, including QAnon, which Patty doesn\u2019t agree with but defends, saying that Aeltrileaf\u2019s family is from Mexico and has good reason to mistrust the United States government.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"article-section-15\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a nonsensical point, but there is some truth to the idea that even the worst conspiracy theories say something about the systems of power and the moment in time they emerge from. The faux-feminist language around hating Hunter not because she is a woman but because women should be criticized as freely as men seems clearly born of a culture and media environment that have a perverse idea of what it would mean to take women seriously, and still struggle to discuss them without dissecting, primarily, their status as wives and girlfriends and mothers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe women I researched would certainly never agree that they were misogynist, or that they were anti-women in attacking,\u201d Kempker says. \u201cThey would say it\u2019s these women who give other women a bad name. And there\u2019s an idea that they have to be deployed to handle other women, because they see the truth. <em>You can snow these other people who don\u2019t know your game, but you won\u2019t pull that over on me<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The manipulative celebrity is, in fact, the only category of conspiracy theory Patty is interested in. She takes care to draw lines around what is appropriate to speculate about and what isn\u2019t. She finds it preposterous that Michael Sheen\u2019s relationship is a sham, or that Keanu Reeves\u2019s is. It\u2019s dangerous to suggest that the coronavirus was created just to take out a global pedophile ring, and it\u2019s dangerous to say that Hillary Clinton eats babies, or that Meryl Streep is the high priestess in a Satanic cult. It\u2019s dangerous to say that the U.S. government orchestrated 9\/11, or that vaccines cause autism. But still, it\u2019s her responsibility to talk about Hunter, because no one else will.
