Candace Owens Directs Followers to New Platform Following Split from The Daily Wire

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, announced Friday morning that the media publication has cut ties with one of its contributors, Candace Owens.

Owens hosted the weekly show “Candace” on DailyWire+, the network’s streaming platform featuring various Daily Wire content, including podcasts and film productions.

“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Boreing wrote in an X post on Friday.

Candace retweeted Boreing’s announcement and added her own post confirming the news.

“The rumors are true— I am finally free,” Owens said.

Owens further directed her followers to support her work moving forward by following her Locals page and making monetary donations.

Yes, Every Kid

“There will be many announcements in the weeks to come,” Owens added.

Owens also directed her followers to subscribe to her personal YouTube page, where she said she will continue hosting her show “after a brief hiatus.”

Owens’ exit from the outlet comes after she and its co-founder Ben Shapiro have clashed over the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.

In November, one month after the terrorist group Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, a viral video of Shapiro circulated online where he called Owens’ “behavior” on the issue “disgraceful.”

“I think her behavior during this has been disgraceful. Without a doubt. And I think she’s been absolutely disgraceful. I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous. It’s not faux sophistication. It’s ridiculous. Everyone can see the moves that she’s making and the things that she’s saying and I find them disreputable,” Shapiro said at the time.

Shapiro also called for Owens to leave the outlet in November after she suggested on X that she could not “serve both God and money.”
