Katie Hopkins was banned from Twitter for a message she sent to Welsh rugby player Ashton Hewitt, it has emerged.
The controversial, right wing commentator was booted off the social media platform last week following a plethora of comments directed at Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford.
The England international had been campaigning to ensure that children received free school meals.
Hopkins slammed the campaign, saying: "Dear Marcus Rashford, do you think women should think about how they are going to feed a child before they decide to have it?
"I do not want to pay to feed other people's kids. You are welcome to. Thank you, Katie Hopkins."
She then went on to appear to mock the Black Lives Matter protests, tweeting: "Today is #whiteoutwednesday. I will shortly be posting a picture of my a***. Thank you."
In response to her tweets, Dragons winger Hewitt posted: "Katie Hopkins is f***ing toxic."
Hopkins replied: "Am I? He better be hung like a baboon... #katiehopkins."
It has now transpired that this was the post that Twitter banned Hopkins for as it violated their rules against hateful conduct.
“'Hung like a baboon' is a Blackadder / urban dictionary expression for having Big Balls," said Hopkins in an attempt to defend her tweet. "For this, they removed me from twitter. It’s even an expression I use about myself in my bio."
Hopkins has gone on Australian TV to explain her Twitter ban, accusing Hewitt of making a "threat of sexual nature of violence" - which the Dragons winger has since called out on social media.

Hewitt has been one of the most vocal British athletes on the Black Lives Matter movement in recent weeks.
The 25-year-old has been using his platform to educate others via a handful of impressive television interviews and on social media.
