Butler spotted alone

A fan spotted Judith Butler walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 28, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Judith back on the market?

A rep for Judith Butler was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the philosopher was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (April 29), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Judith’s phone number?”

Based on the facts (Butler spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
