Candace Owens blasts Daily Wire, says it’s leaking antisemitism claims: Attacked for ‘being a Christian’
NY Post
Candace Owens eviscerated her former employer Daily Wire on Wednesday after she claimed she was asked to comment on an upcoming newspaper story alleging that she engaged in antisemitic and homophobic behavior at the company.
Owens, the former blogger who rose to prominence during the Trump presidency with her campaign to persuade African American voters to ditch the Democratic Party, posted a video on her social media account hinting that Daily Wire leaked allegations that she mistreated staffers at her former employer.
In her viral video which was viewed more than 1.3 million times as of Thursday afternoon, Owens adamantly denied one claim that she threw a canned drink at a junior staffer.
The controversial media personality, who was reportedly hit with a gag order by Daily Wire preventing her from disparaging the company, posted the video on her X social media account on Wednesday, telling her more than 5 million followers that she was asked to comment by a Daily Mail reporter who reached out to her public relations rep.
Owens gave a statement to The Post which read: “I have been overwhelmed by the number of messages and emails I have received from Daily Wire employees, past and present, with offers to speak on record with journalists.”
She said it was “incredibly brave” of former colleagues to step forward and that it “should serve as a reminder that loyalty is not something that can be fortified via intimidation and contracts.”
