Angus Mitchell is the son of celebrity hairstylist Paul Mitchell. He’s also one of Caitlyn Jenner’s top donors, giving the maximum amount allowed to her gubernatorial campaign.
According to the California Secretary of State’s office, Jenner has raised at least $294,000 in donations. $32,400 of that came directly from Mitchell.
On Instagram, the 51-year-old hairstylist purports to be a LGBTQ ally…
He also claims to support racial justice and BLM…
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In addition to all that, he’s an advisor for his company’s Equity and Opportunity Council, which is dedicated to “fostering a culture of diversity, inclusion and belonging,” and he calls himself “an advocate for human rights” in his official bio.
Sooooo why is he supporting a political candidate who, in addition to being a staunch supporter of former white-supremacist-in-chief Donald Trump, even after acknowledging he’s “the worst president we’ve ever had” when when it comes to LGBTQ rights, also hates homeless people, believes that “biological boys should not be allowed to participate in girls sports,” and says it was easier to come out as trans than it was to come out as a Republican?
That’s a very good question! And one Mitchell has yet to answer. Queerty reached out to him for comment, but we never heard back.

While we were waiting for him to respond, we did a little more digging into his past and learned that, despite painting himself out to be a woke social justice warrior, Mitchell, who is worth an estimated $300 million, has more than a few skeletons in his closet.
SF Gate reports:
In 2015, the Daily Mail described Angus Mitchell, born in 1970 and also a celebrity hairstylist, as a “multi-millionaire” and the “heir to the Paul Mitchell hair care fortune.” The Daily Mail reported that he was embroiled in an ugly divorce, in which he allegedly had his personal chef serve his wife the divorce papers and engaged in a bitter battle for child custody.
In 2018, Mitchell was the subject of a sex discrimination lawsuit that alleged he used his workplace “as a hunting ground to find women to date and have sex with.”
In the lawsuit, which is still pending, he was accused of not only pressuring an employee to have sex with him, but of paying her $50,000 afterwards then telling her she either had the option to “quit immediately or at the end of the day.”
Sounds like a nice guy!
Jenner’s other top donors include billionaire Bob Parsons, founder of internet domain registrar GoDaddy.com, and his wife, Renee, and Kelly Sellers, who works for a consulting firm based in Austin, Texas.

Horrid rich jerks support a horrid rich jerk what a surprise.

I know, right?

Angus Mitchell is insanely wealthy and entitled just like Caitlyn. All that George Floyd, gay lives matter PR is nothing but window dressing because he knows not to bite the hand that feeds him.
Judge them by their actions. Not just their words.
G-Man
Thank you, I’m in total agreement with you.

So…trash supporting trash. Big shock.

Googling someone for 5 minutes is not the same as Investigative Reporting!! Hi-LAR-ious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing enrages the right wing troll more than people being exposed supporting right wingers.

Who is this hot mess MissTerri? I feel very troll doll energy from this avatar.
johnk8
Exactly. Caitlyn Jenner is not trans phobic, she is a member of our community. I understand people call her transphobic for her views on sports. But I doubt those people have actually read what she has written on the subject. She supports allowing those who have transisioned in sports. So I will paste it here so people can make informed decision.
“ One of the most common questions I get asked about is trans athletes participating in youth sports. It is a hot topic for media and, while it directly impacts just a tiny percentage of Californians, we have a responsibility to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity and respect and that we protect the fairness and integrity of youth sports.
That is why my position has been so clear and consistent: biological boys should not be allowed to participate in girls sports. It is a question of fairness.
To be clear, I do believe that athletes that have fully transitioned should be able to participate in sports provided they meet all other eligibility criteria as defined by their state, local, league, conference or school rules. As a society, we should always encourage as much participation as possible while maintaining the fairness and integrity of the competition.
This is not a new issue. The International Olympic Committee had been working through this issue long before I won the gold in 1976 and have since established a series of conditions under which a male athlete transitioning to female may participate in female sports. It is logical, science-based and designed to protect the integrity and fairness of the games and it is designed to be revisited as necessary to adjust for advancements in medicine and science.
While the specific eligibility criteria for junior high sports may not be the same as that of the Olympics, creating a series of criteria that encourages participation and guarantees fair competition is just as appropriate for youth sports as it is for the Olympic Games or Paralympic Games”

Unless of course it only takes 5 minutes googling someone to find out who they truly are!
Heywood Jablowme
@johnk8: Except that she has NOT been consistent on that at all. As late as last year she was saying the opposite. Then suddenly:
“Jenner changed her position on trans people competing in sports in what some are calling an effort to pander to Republican voters.” – NBC News 5/3/21
Queerty has mentioned this several times recently.
barryaksarben
Hil ar ious Ms Terri. The dickless wonder troll. No matter when I come to this site here she is with the same incredibly boring responses like this one. Tired beyond tired. And for some reason thinks that gay people who come here would actually think she has a point of any kind. We are not the brain dead inbred Trumps supporters. We are intelligent people who if we bother to read her nonsense laugh at what she keeps repeating. She isnt even worthy of kissing Trumps diseased flatulent anus let alone joining in an adult conversation. Now that is hilarious. Ms Terri you never respond to me. Are you that afraid or did I just nail the description of you that you actually know is the truth. You are a soulless creature just like the trump toad. Kaitlyn or whatever is a loser and is so stupid. She says she is a disruptor like that means ANYTHING without an actual plan to fix things. Katie like Trump hasnt the brains to have a plan of any kind. THey just know hoe to shit on things which is not anything people want
Den
OK. “mess terri,” here’s a hilarious suggestion:
Rather than stupid vapid comments that only highlight what an idiot you appear to be, let’s have some substance. Defend Mitchell, point out how the author is incorrect.
Put up or shut up, you brainless piece of S#!t.
mailliw110
That’s 4 minutes longer than you did.
Cam
Remember when Republicans would keep saying that it would be great to have billionaires run because they could fund their own campaigns?
Nope, no matter how wealthy, these Republican billionaires still beg for money from working people.
MissTerri
Poor old Cam!!!!!!!!!!!
Cam
@MissTerri
Ahhhhhh, the right wing troll’s obsession with me, especially when it can’t dispute my comment. Delicious!
Heywood Jablowme
@Cam/Miss Terri: Oh look, Cam is talking to himself again. How adorable. But a tad too obvious. Sweetie, your troll game is lame and weak, lol.
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme
Awwww, you switched over to a different screename that has denied being the same right wing troll.
Except the problem is, you came in to defend one of your other screenames, and you lashed out in the same style they do.
You are so terrible at this, and you keep exposing all your different troll names because of your obsession with me.
Your failure is like a cool soda on a hot day….delicious.
Heywood Jablowme
@Cam/Miss Terri/Sybil: As I’ve said many times, I don’t use other screen names. YOU have admitted using another screen name. You and Miss Terri always appear at the same time of day and on the same comment threads. You’re obsessed with the subject of “multiple screenames” but if you were REALLY worried about it you’d urge Queerty to ban anyone doing that. You won’t do that because you’re the only one doing it.
MissTerri
Poor old Cam! The poor Dear is so Senile she can’t keep all of her Multiple Handles straight!!! Hi-LAR-ious!!!!!!!!!!!
Heywood Jablowme
@Miss Terri/Cam: And I’m definitely not “defending” YOU, Miss Terri. “You” are a particularly wacky corner of Cam’s disturbed mind!
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme
So….you don’t use other screenames, but you come in defend the other troll screenames, use the same attacks and seem obsessed with me.
Hmmmm, no, really I believe you.
Heywood Jablowme
@Cam/Miss Terri/DCGuy/Sybil: I’m not “defending” your creation Miss Terri. Why would I do that? Miss Terri is YOU. And I’m not obsessed with you or your multiple personalities, I’m simply making fun of you for being so endlessly obsessed with the subject of multiple screen names when you’re obviously doing it yourself.
If you’re so-o-o-o-o upset by the supposed multiple posters that you have to squawk about it literally every day, multiple times every day, why don’t just you urge Queerty to ban anyone doing that?
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme
So let’s see this screename, MissTerri, LiquidSilver, etc.. All start, on THE EXACT SAME DAY trying to tie my screename to one of your troll screenames.
LOL! Awwwww, sweetie, I knew you weren’t good at trolling, were obsessed with me, and were scrambling, but this is just sad. I’d be embarrassed for you, but it’s just too funny.
Now, back to how Cailtlyn Jenner attacks the LGBTQ community and the son of Paul Mitchell who was a supposed ally is funding her.
Heywood Jablowme
@Cam/Miss Terri/Sybil: My comment about Jenner is below. YOU are unable to comment on anything without also “trying” to tie random commenters to the supposed troll accounts. (Sometimes you “try” to do this before anyone even comments!)
AGAIN: If you’re so-o-o-o-o upset by the supposed multiple posters that you have to squawk about it literally every day, multiple times every day, why don’t just you urge Queerty to ban anyone doing that?
Why can’t you ever answer the question… hmmm? Phony.
Canadiancub
Oh my god man you need to get a life seriously. I come here to read “news” and it’s just you arguing with the same person everyday holy shit
Liquid Silver
I’m shocked. Truly shocked. This is my shocked face.
barryaksarben
Ms Terri is obsessed with one person because her brain is so birdlike small she cant hold two thoughts. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT SCREEN NAMES. Pathetic how people use two names when they dont have even one complete personality
MissTerri
Oh hello there Cam!!!!!!
barryaksarben
Miss Terri Oh no girl this is BARRY and if you werent so fkn stupid you could tell by my posts which arent exactly like whatever person you think I am while all of your posts in all of your screennames are exactlyt alike so take no great mental genius to know they are all YOU. Now if you think I am someone elses screen name you are as stupid as I have been pointing out to everyone here. Jesus you are a dumbass
Cam
@MissTerri
Oh, sweetie, did your other screenames not get the message to this personality? You’re supposed to pretend that you are my other screename.
Wow, even when you’re one account trolling with different screenames you can’t keep things straight.
How sad, how embarrassing for you, it’s just so……..you. LOL
Fahd
A Republican hypocrite – go figure. Mitchell is worth $300 million and he gave $32,400 to Jenner’s campaign. Sounds like pocket change for Mitchell. Maybe they’re neighbors or have adjoining plane hangars or there’s some excuse like that, but Mitchell should have people on the payroll to protect him from this kind of bad PR. Reveals more than I have ever wanted to know about the creep.
Heywood Jablowme
Exactly – he bought a ton of bad PR and with absolutely no possible upside. The recall itself is WAY behind in the polls and Newsom is regaining his popularity. In the unlikely event the recall were to succeed, she is way behind Faulconer and probably behind two or three others, also. Despite all her media coverage and name recognition, nobody seems to like her much or take her seriously. She is going nowhere (except maybe to Texas or Idaho with “winemaker,” lol).
mailliw110
Maybe you should read the article again. It clearly states that that is the full amount they could give….legally.
HiLisa
Amen

BaltoSteve
My guess would be that Paul Mitchell, the brand, has handlers to maintain Angus’ social media. So, like it’s been said before, watch for what they do and not the image they portray to know who they really are.
Donston
This is another example as to why folks need to stop hyping up this ally/alliance shit. A lot of what you see on social media (and a lot of what these public figures in general present) is performative and about image and ego and money.
The real Bruce
Between Miss Terri, Heywood and Cam, the three of you should really log on to the CARTOON NETWORK! Grow Up! Really!!

Sweetie, this screename was clocked months ago. But it’s cute you keep thinking if you mention your other screenames you will fool anybody.
Also interesting, you came onto a thread about Caitlin Jenner and her anti-trans activities being funded by a supposed LGBTQ ally and had nothing to say about that. Hmmm
Jake123
Talking to me or Bruce ??

Thank you johnk8 for posting exactly what Caitlyn said. I agree with her 100%. Believing the science does not make you a transphobe. So many people in here are very closed minded and want to believe that a man that transitions to a woman is biologically the same as a biologically born woman. The science tells us that that is not true. We are always told to follow the science but apparently when the science doesn’t support the knee jerk liberal position then the science should be ignored.
I await your bigoted responses and name calling which is all you have when the science isn’t on your side.
Cam
I see the right wing troll account is back to trying the “If you don’t support my bigotry you’re bigoted” line.
That didn’t work when the Mormons tried it over Prop 8.
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Do any of you ever notice this is not an issue with transgender men? It’s frankly the same thing in reverse…they never compete against biological men for obvious reasons though because they’ll be destroyed but in the wackadoodles brains on queerty they can never see the obvious in reverse. I’m sure Sherlock Cam will call me a troll too
Cam
@TheAbsoluteTRUTH
MissTerri switching to another screename to attack trans people. Wow, they enrage you as much as people who aren’t white it seems.
Also, plenty of Trans men compete in sports. But it’s adorable that under all your various screenames you keep trying to push lies with no evidence so you can use it as ANOTHER trans attack.
Your troll game is sad and weak.
bimh
@Graham Gremore, there is a special place in hell for you, especially for going out of your way to write such vile, ostracizing article against a fellow member. We don’t have to agree on every detail. In contrary we belong to every aisle, every community, every party just like any other American out there. That’s the way it should be. And you should have know better not to destroy someone trying to make it the hardest way. In my opinion you are the disgrace of the LGBTQ community. There is a special place in hell for you.
johnk8
We shouldn’t condemn anyone to that place. But I am a bit preterbed that a cisgendered male wrote an article on queerty calling an ally giving money to a campaign of a transgened woman running for public office transphobic.
arnieca
I hate to add to the troll accusations being thrown around here, but i don’t know what else to make of this comment. The hyperbole is so over the top, key blatant inaccuracies. and poor command of English make it difficult to believe it’s not a troll.
rickywintour
What the hell are you talking about?! He isn’t one of us so please sit down and shut up idiot.
barryaksarben
The absolute truth is so wrong. You obviously know nothing about transmales in sp[orts. Probably because the QOP isnt mentioning them as it would show just how wrong their bullshit is. There is a worldclass wieghtlifter who is going to the OLYMPICS who is a transman. You DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Yes, there are few transmen athletes but do you honestly think there are SO MANY transwomen athletes that cis gender women will be forced out of sports. Besides it is SPORTS not important to life
Cam
It’s cute when the troll account tries the “You can’t criticise Jenner’s homophobic behavior because she’s also LGBTQ.
Sweetie, that didn’t work with Ellen, or Peter Thiel and it won’t work here. I’d say “Nice Try” but your troll game is still sad and weak.
humble charlie
Angus should be using his own hair products. And he should suggest Katelynn do the same. Angus looks like he got his finger stuck in light socket, and Katelynn’s hair always looks as dry as a bucket of sand from the Sahara.
arie570
JohnK8
Actually I believe people call her out on that not because of her ever changing views on competitive sports in the trandgender community. It is her never changing views on supporting candidates including Trump that have an agenda to harm LGBTQ rights and trans rights.
HiLisa
Seems like Mitchell has cherrypicked from all the important issues such as Floyd,, The Pulse, etc. I think he is trying to camouflage the scent of complete b/s. Doesn’t work. You two are snakes. Or, perhaps, two heads of the same snake. There’s either a lot of self-loathing going on Jenner, or you really believe Trump has a huge, uh, …
jpoppinga
What a farce. She’s worth a $100M ?
From what i have seen she has never demonstrated much of an intellect yet she thinks she can run California?
