What happened between Candace Owens and the Daily Wire?

Candace Owens is leaving The Daily Wire. After hours of rumors, Jeremy Boreing, CEO of the publication, reported through a post on X that the platform and the journalist "have ended their relationship":

Minutes later, Owens herself confirmed the news. She also decided to announce her departure from Ben Shapiro's platform on X, making it clear that she was not only leaving The Daily Wire but that, in the coming weeks, she would make "many announcements" about her future.
