Holiday, whose real name is Adam Hyde, posted about the incident at the US-Canada border over the weekend. <\/p>\n

“I have spent all day detained at the Canadian border and denied entry back into the US despite having the proper visa documentation in place,” he wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

“I’m still trying to get clarity on the situation myself.”<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Chatfield said she wanted to apologise for a video she posted last year after apparent online speculation that it could be behind Holiday’s ban.<\/p>\n

In the video she had spoken about Luigi Mangione, the US man who allegedly shot dead Brian Thompson, the head of UnitedHealthcare, in December 2024. <\/p>\n

Mangione is due to face state and federal trials later this year<\/a> for the alleged murder.<\/p>\n

“A video that I posted a year ago has come back to haunt me, essentially,” Chatfield said on Tuesday, shortly after it was confirmed that Holiday had returned home to Australia.<\/p>\n

Chatfield said her old video had been misinterpreted and she had not called for any political violence against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

She said there had been “no clear reason” given for Holiday’s ban, but that people were “conflating” it with her 2025 post.<\/p>\n

“I also want to make it clear Adam hadn’t even seen this video, so any vitriol toward him is unwarranted,” she said in the ten-minute long video.<\/p>\n

The BBC has contacted Holiday’s management for comment.<\/p>\n

The incident comes months after the US proposed new rules for tourists<\/a>, with foreign visitors to be asked to provide a five-year social media history as a condition of entry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Holiday, whose real name is Adam Hyde, posted about the incident at the US-Canada border over the weekend.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-579330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
