Candace Owens Is a 'Toxic Person' Who Creates Drama, Nick Fuentes Claims

The commentator made the claim while describing an alleged fallout with Owens over a podcast appearance and paywall dispute.

Nick Fuentes has called Candace Owens a 'toxic person' during an interview with Brandon Straka on 5 October, claiming their relationship deteriorated after Owens questioned him about comments he had previously made about her.

Fuentes made the remarks while appearing on Straka's talk show, where the conversation turned to Owens and whether he had considered working with her. He said he had tried to be friendly with Owens and hoped they could collaborate after she left The Daily Wire.

Fuentes said he had wanted to work with Owens, but claimed their relationship later deteriorated following discussions about appearing together on her show.

Why Did Nick Fuentes Fall Out With Candace Owens?

For context, Fuentes said he had wanted to work with Owens but claimed she initially refused.

According to Fuentes, Owens told him she was in litigation with The Daily Wire and did not want to risk being banned from YouTube. He later claimed that Owens contacted him and asked him to appear on her show.

Fuentes said he agreed to appear but asked whether the conversation would be an 'ambush', citing what he described as bad blood between them.

Fuentes said he expected the conversation to address current news. He then claimed Owens instead questioned him about remarks he had previously made about her.

Fuentes said they subsequently had a fallout over disagreements about putting the episode behind a paywall. He then criticised Owens.

'And ever since then, I don't like her. I think she's dishonest. I think she's nasty,' Fuentes said.

That is Fuentes' version of the dispute. The source material does not establish that Owens deliberately ambushed him.

What Did Nick Fuentes Mean by Calling Candace Owens 'Toxic'?

The discussion became more personal when Straka offered his own criticism of Owens.

Straka alleged that Owens had repeatedly become close to successful men before attempting to damage what they had built. He also claimed she could make statements with enough certainty to make what he considered untrue claims appear convincing.

Fuentes agreed with Straka's assessment and then offered his own explanation for why he viewed Owens negatively.

Fuentes said it must be a 'personality complex' that contributed to what he described as unnecessary conflicts. He also claimed Owens had a need to create drama and 'play the victim card'.

He then described Owens in even stronger terms.

'I think she is genuinely just like a toxic person,' Fuentes said.

The source material presents the description as Fuentes' personal assessment rather than an independently established finding about Owens.

What Happened Between Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes?

The apparent fallout centres on a proposed collaboration that Fuentes said he had wanted to pursue.

He claimed the relationship deteriorated after Owens invited him onto her programme. Fuentes alleged that she instead questioned him about remarks he had previously made about her.

Fuentes said their disagreement over whether the episode should be placed behind a paywall contributed to the fallout between them.

Straka also claimed that Owens had repeatedly moved from one project to another without building something of her own, while accusing her of trying to damage things others had created. Fuentes agreed with that assessment.

There is, however, an important gap in the account. The supplied source does not include a response from Owens addressing Fuentes' accusations or giving her version of the disagreement.

For now, the claims remain disputed. Fuentes' descriptions of Candace Owens as dishonest, nasty, or toxic are opinions expressed during an interview and have not been independently established as fact.
