After months of publicly feuding with Ben Shapiro, the right-wing outlet’s most visible personality, reports indicate that commentator Candace Owens is no longer employed by the Daily Wire.
The site’s CEO confirmed the news on Friday, as reported by Variety:
“Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Friday. He did not elaborate on the circumstances behind the move.
Owens joined the Daily Wire in 2021 and hosted a weekday commentary show for the website. Owens, shortly after Boreing’s announcement, confirmed that she is no longer with Daily Wire.
The rumors are true— I am finally free.

Owens and Shapiro have gone at it in recent weeks primarily over the issue of Israel.
According to The Wrap:
This comes as tension between Owens and the Daily Wire team has increased in recent months. The anchor was engaged in a bitter feud with Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over her coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.
At one point, Shapiro urged Owens, “By all means, quit.”
In November, shortly after the start of Owens and Shapiro’s public brawl, Boreing who was on a leave of absence at the time, posted that Owens would not be fired.
Here’s some commentary released just hours before Owens’ exit was confirmed:
