Leonarda Jonie (born Leonarda Gjoni) is a Montenegrin-American[1] comedian and political commentator based in Austin, Texas.[2][3][4]

Early life and career

Jonie was born in Montenegro to a Albanian father and a Montenegrin mother[1] and raised in New York City.[3]

Career

Jonie has been featured (as 'Leonarda Bosch') in the film Jersey Shore massacre.[5]

Views

Jonie's views on transgender rights have been called in the media a "nice reminder that transphobia is an increasingly intersectional endeavor."[6]

In 2025, Jonie became the subject of further controversy after comments made on Stew Peters' podcast about Ohio-born 2024 United States Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. She later stated on social media that she would not rest until Ramaswamy was deported back to the country he came from and referred to India as a "shit hole."[7] The comments brought about widespread condemnation.[8] [9]
