Right-wing media figure Candace Owens has officially parted ways with The Daily Wire after nearly four years with the company. The news was announced by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing on Twitter, confirming the end of their relationship.
Owens, known for her strong culture warrior rhetoric, has plans to bring her show to her personal YouTube page following a brief hiatus. This decision comes after Owens recently embraced conspiracy theories following the Hamas attacks on Israel.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) called out Owens for “vitriolic antisemitism” after she liked a tweet promoting an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Owens defended herself against the criticism, stating that she was simply standing up for herself against the ADL’s network of smears.
In November 2020, Owens had joined The Daily Wire in Nashville, but her departure comes amidst controversy surrounding her rhetoric and recent actions. She had a public disagreement with Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over the Israel-Hamas war, with Shapiro condemning her statements as “absolutely disgraceful” and “disreputable.”
Owens’ departure marks the end of a chapter with The Daily Wire, as she moves forward with her plans to continue her work independently. The Bib Theorists will continue to follow Owens’ journey as she navigates this new phase in her career.
