Bloomberg Law reported that Kasowitz, who has represented Trump for decades, withdrew from the case without offering a reason in the court filing.
The AJC report flagged a February 2026 viral post falsely linking Israel to ISIS and a December 2025 instance in which Owens urged followers to read a 19th-century antisemitic text, noting that prominent conservative figures including PragerU's Dennis Prager had publicly warned against her statements.
Shapiro's rebuke at the December 2025 TPUSA event marked a visible rupture between Owens and key figures in the conservative media ecosystem she once helped build.
The suit, filed by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron and represented by Clare Locke — the firm behind Dominion's $787.5M Fox News settlement — accuses Owens of a "campaign of global humiliation" and names her personally along with Candace Owens LLC and GeorgeTom Inc. as defendants.

Candace Owens is a conservative political commentator and podcast host whose rise to national prominence came through her vocal criticism of progressive politics and identity-based activism, particularly following her public shift away from liberal positions in the mid-2010s. Born and raised in Connecticut, she built an early following through social media commentary before affiliating with The Daily Wire, where she hosted her own show. After departing that platform, she relaunched an independent podcast — reflected in her YouTube bio's terse announcement, "The Candace podcast is back" — and has maintained a substantial cross-platform presence spanning YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Her content blends political analysis, cultural commentary, and opinion-driven takes on news events, often touching on topics ranging from geopolitics to public health skepticism.
Her audience skews heavily male and older, with roughly half over 45, a demographic profile common among talk-radio-style political commentary channels that have migrated to digital platforms. Engagement rates that run well above category norms suggest a loyal, high-intent viewer base rather than passive consumption. Her sponsor mix — including PureTalk, The Wellness Company, and Tax Network USA — reflects brands that deliberately target conservative-leaning audiences and treat her channel as a trusted endorsement environment. That positioning makes her a reliable fit for challenger brands seeking reach within right-of-center media ecosystems. With her independent podcast now re-established and TikTok growth outpacing her other platforms, she appears to be consolidating influence as a self-owned media brand rather than a platform-dependent personality.
RealCandaceO reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a politics creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Riverbend Ranch and Puretalk. Engagement on YouTube runs around 9.3%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows politics content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in politics and related categories, RealCandaceO offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
