It’s here that she recorded her response to Kanyegate, which led many people to question why she fell short of condemning what was very clearly hate speech. For an hour, she holds forth with her scorching own-the-libs views on the news. million and a half people subscribe to Owens’s Daily Wire show, which airs as both a podcast and a YouTube video through the conservative media company. Owens and rapper Kanye West ignited global controversy when they wore “White Lives Matter” shirts at the Yeezy Paris Fashion Week show last year. The fallout cost West most of his business, rightfully, and thrust Owens into broad fame as a political flamethrower. The spectacle echoed far beyond the fashion world and marked the beginning of West’s media spiral during which, among other hateful statements, he praised Hitler. The two are backstage at his fashion show, sporting matching shirts blaring WHITE LIVES MATTER. In a picture she posted to Twitter (and which remains to this day), she looks over her shoulder, beaming, next to Kanye West. Yet nobody was surprised to see her at the center of the biggest controversy at Paris Fashion Week last fall. “She was not a fit at Vogue,” a former higher-up said flatly. Nobody expected her to continue on at the magazine, though. Yet they all described her as one of the best interns ever. “Very eccentric and not normal,” as one person put it. People who worked with her said that she would come to work wearing hats with animal ears or “girl boss power suits” with a bra under a blazer.
