Candace Owens is asking Jeremy Boreing for permission to publicly release the document outlining her termination from The Daily Wire. The exchange renews a long-running feud between the conservative commentators more than two years after her departure.
What We Know: Owens left The Daily Wire in March 2024 after publicly clashing with co-founder Ben Shapiro. Since then, she and Boreing have repeatedly traded barbs over the circumstances surrounding her exit. On Monday, Owens challenged Boreing to let her release the document listing the reasons for her termination after he accused her of lying. Boreing responded that he no longer works for The Daily Wire and has no authority to enforce or access her company documents. He added that Owens has access to the records herself and questioned why she hasn’t released them. Boreing also argued that the information wouldn’t materially change what the public already knows about her departure.
What They Said: “Hey Jeremy, since you are now accusing me of lying and/or having brainwashed my audience regarding the reasons I was fired from the Daily Wire— why don’t you simply grant me permission, publicly, to drop the document where you listed the reasons for my termination. It’s been 3 years.” -Candace Owens
“It’s all just one big manipulation. If it were in Candace’s interest to ‘drop the document,’ she would. What stops her? Decency? Fear of lawsuits? Egyptian planes? Certainly nothing in those documents materially changes what is already in the public record. I have not been shy about the reasons I fired Candace. The video of my speech to the DW staff that day leaked long ago. I am not ashamed of having fired her. I’m proud of it. She has spent every day since proving me right. She has devoted herself to slander and lies for fame and money. She relishes trying to ruin the lives of others. She is one of the worst actors in public life, and one of the worst people I have ever known. She is not only a liar, but a serial liar.” -Jeremy Boreing
What Remains Unclear: Owens hasn’t publicly released the document, and it’s unclear whether she plans to do so. Boreing’s response also leaves open whether any legal or contractual restrictions could affect the document’s release. Neither the full contents of the document nor any new details about the termination have emerged from the exchange.
What It Means: The latest dispute keeps Owens’ departure from The Daily Wire in the public conversation. Although Boreing maintains that the reasons for her firing are already part of the public record, Owens’ challenge could renew interest in the company’s internal account of the split if she releases the document.
