Pete Evans has been silenced.
Facebook has removed a scandalous chef’s profile from its platform, after claiming it was spreading “false information” that could lead to “imminent harm”.
In a statement, a Facebook spokesman said: “We do not allow anyone to share false information about the COVID-19 vaccine standards issued by public health professionals. We have explicit policies against this type of content and have removed Chef Pete Evans’ Facebook page due to repeated violations of these policies. ”
Another Twitter post that revealed the news had a lot of people expressing their gratitude that the chef had lost his voice on the podium.
Twitter Trollers Step In
“Woo bloody. But it’s been about two months late, ”wrote one user.
“So who are we to make fun of now?” write another.
While the celebrity chef posted a lot of plot posts every day, he said last week Sydney-siders should not be tested for COVID after the Northern Beaches outbreak.
Writing on Facebook, the outspoken anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theory shared a photo of the article that read: “Sydney COVID outbreak is growing in two new cases in one night.”
He also said: “Do you see what this is all about. A common flu test? Do not check. ”
In the caption, Evans wrote, “FULL… 2 cases,” and beautiful facial emojis.

Pete’s Supporters
There were comments from some of Evans’ supporters agreeing with the outspoken former TV presenter and pizza restaurant owner.
“So this is a scary tactic to try to convince people to get a vaccine if you hit Australia,” writes one skeptic.
“It’s sad to see all these scary sheep play like dolls,” said one.
The Facebook ban comes after he told his fans on Wednesday that he was “locked up” on the platform for “a few days” because of his post.
One of Evans’ biggest controversies came when he posed for a cartoon that appeared to feature the Nazi symbol recently.
After this, Evans was dumped by his publisher Pan Macmillan Australia.
“Pan Macmillan does not support the recent post by Pete Evans. Those ideas are not our ideas as a company or the ideas of our employees, ”the company said at the time.
Shortly afterwards, Big W, Kmart, Coles, Booktopia and Target also severed ties with him, and Dymocks took his books off the shelves. He was also left out as a contestant in I’m A Celebrity Australia.
Evans’ company was fined more than $ 25,000 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in April after it launched a device called ‘BioCharger’ on Facebook, saying it could be used in connection with the coronavirus.
The TGA said the claim was “baseless”.
A former judge of My Kitchen Rules has denied that he deliberately used the narcissist’s logo.
Shortly afterwards, the chef promised to leave his Facebook account, and go to US social media Perler to free himself from the “test”.
“Of all the amazing fb community we’ve built over the years … yes 1.5 million of you,” he wrote at the time.
“For me it’s time to say goodbye to this platform and thank you all for sharing your stories of good health transformation and good blood laughter and crying along the way.”
However, since then Evans has been comfortable on Facebook, sometimes posting more than 10 times a day.
Evans’ Instagram page is still active. Instagram is owned by Facebook.
