Candace Owens was fired from the conservative media company Daily Wire in March 2024. The split followed months of friction between Owens and co-founder Ben Shapiro, largely due to Owens endorsing several anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Her criticism of Israel's military actions and spreading controversial conspiracy claims created tensions. Ben Shapiro publicly condemned her remarks as "disgraceful," and the conflict culminated in their parting ways. Owens confirmed her departure and plans to continue her work independently, relaunching her show on her personal YouTube channel after a hiatus.
Additionally, Owens has faced suspensions from platforms like YouTube for violating hate speech policies, particularly related to antisemitic content, which further affected her media presence around the same time.
