Owens confirmed the departure, and said that she would be bringing her show to her personal YouTube page after a brief hiatus. “The rumors are true— I am finally free,” she wrote.

Known for her culture warrior rhetoric, Owens has embraced conspiracy theories since the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7. This week, the Anti-Defamation League called out Owens for “vitriolic antisemitism.” Earlier this week, she “liked” a tweet that advanced an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews were “drunk on Christian blood,” per Mediaite.

“My crime is having stood up for myself against your network of smears,” Owens wrote following the ADL criticism.

To much publicity, it was announced in November, 2020 that Owens would move to Nashville to join the platform’s team.

Owens had publicly clashed with Ben Shapiro, co-founder of the brand, oever the Israel-Hamas war. In November, Shapiro had called Owens’ statements “absolutely disgraceful” and “disreputable.”
