“The rumors are true— I am finally free,” she wrote. “… There will be many announcements in the weeks to come.”
The outlet reports that Owens appeared to ruffle feathers by repeatedly criticizing Israel for committing “genocide” in Gaza in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Additionally, Owens reportedly alleged there was a “small ring” of Jewish people in the White House with “quite sinister” plans.
CNN adds that in November 2023, Ben Shapiro — co-founder of The Daily Wire — called Owens out for her “disgraceful” comments. In response, Owens seemingly criticized Shapiro, explaining that one “cannot serve both God and money.” Ultimately, Shapiro responded to Owens’ words by letting her know she was free to walk away from her position at any time.
Earlier this week, Owens spoke about her and Shapiro’s exchange while appearing on ‘The Breakfast Club.’

I do not know Nick Fuentes, but you already know that. What I do know is that everyone can see what you guys are doing to me. Your pattern is well established and the world is waking up to it.
My crime is having stood up for myself against your network of smears. https://t.co/NFdTnZ5Lhm— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 21, 2024
My crime, is that I do not believe that American taxpayers should have to pay for Israel’s wars or the wars of any other country.
I will not change my mind.
So the question is what will you do to me next?
The world is watching. https://t.co/q2MHv7rKHl— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 21, 2024

The Commentator Recently Went Viral For Her Statements On Interracial Marriage
As The Shade Room previously reported, Owens went viral earlier this week after explaining why she married George Farmer, a white man. Owens explained that she believes “the greatest thing ever is when people come together on the basis of who they love and get married.”
The 34-year-old explained that she never thought of her husband “as a race” or their children as “mixed.”
“I married the person that it made the most sense for me to marry,” she said. “…It was difficult for me to find a partner that was a challenge to me… with my same interests… I fell in love with my husband just because I think he is one of the most brilliant people ever. I love him very much, and the stuff that we talk about, there’s no other person I could have married.”
