"They shaved off like 5 years of my contract. So I lost millions of guaranteed dollars. And they basically were like, or you could just say a statement about Kanye. Didn't do it. Took the money back. So it was the exact opposite experience he had with me, that I would not say things for money."
When Kanye West tweeted controversial statements about Jewish people, Daily Wire executives brought Owens into a conference room with her husband and demanded she publicly denounce him. When she refused, they unilaterally cut years from her contract, costing her millions. Owens maintains she won't compromise her principles for money despite the financial consequences.
