Controversies Owens Has Dragged George Into

Candace Owens Farmer has made several statements that have sparked public outrage, although she has followers who appreciate her social and political critiques. There have been some instances where her husband has been dragged into some of her controversies, and some of them include;

Her Tweet Spat with Cardi B

On The Ben Shapiro Show, Owens criticized Cardi’s interview with Joe Biden, igniting a Twitter war with the rapper. Cardi had shared a video of her sister Hennessy Carolina and her partner being attacked by Trump fans “because they are an Afro/Hispanic lesbian couple,” and the two spat barbs on Twitter all night. In reaction to Owens’ part on The Ben Shapiro Show, the “WAP” rapper elaborated by saying, “No matter how much money I make, no matter how hard I work, I can’t be a f—ing free American. My sister can’t be a f—ing free American. You got this f—ing Trump-supporting family harassing two lesbians. The f—?”.

Cardi B made some claims about George Farmer not too long after, which got him a significant media glare. Cardi B alleged in her statement that George was having an affair with Candace’s brother. On the other hand, Candace has vowed to sue her over the claims leveled against her husband and brother. Their Twitter spat garnered a lot of attention from the media.

Owens’ Remark on Masculinity with Harry Styles

Owens and Styles made their disagreement about masculinity public when the pop singer posted a snap of his December 2020 Vogue cover shoot with the tagline “Bring back manly men,” which appeared to be a swipe at Owens. In the shot, Styles is wearing a gown, which some found adorable while others lambasted as symbolizing the demise of “rugged masculinity.”

On Twitter, Owen replied to Styles’ remark. She added with an image of Styles’ Instagram snap, “When people attempt to tell me I don’t have influence, and then @Harry Styles dedicates a whole post to my tweet.” “I am a catalyst for global dialogue. #BringBackManlyMen. Shots have been fired.” The conversation that ensued led to many people questioning the masculinity of her husband, George Farmer, or perhaps if there is something between the couple the media haven’t reported yet.

These are some of the instances where the controversial couple has been dragged into controversies, especially in the media. Despite all these, the couple appears to be united against all odds, at least in the eyes of the public.
