Celebrity Boycott Threats and the Abortion Debate
Candace Owens is asked how she would respond to celebrities who threaten to boycott pro-life states over abortion legislation while simultaneously working in countries with far stricter abortion laws than those being enacted in the United States. She does not hesitate.
"I would essentially say: wow, I aspire to that much narcissism," she replies, questioning the assumption that lawmakers or the general public would alter policy in response to a celebrity's choice of residence.
Nobody Knows, Nobody Cares
Owens argues that the premise of the celebrity boycott as a political tool rests on a crumbling foundation: the belief that entertainers are powerful enough that their absence from a state constitutes real pressure. She pushes back hard on that framing.
"Nobody cares what you think, nobody cares where you live, nobody cares where you currently work," she says, calling the idea of the celebrity as a mythical arbiter of cultural standards both wrong and dying.
Real Estate Benefits and a Dry Closer
Owens caps the exchange with a joke that lands harder than many planned remarks. She predicts real estate values would rise in any state that celebrities chose to vacate, and adds that if she knew certain prominent figures such as Chelsea Handler were genuinely going to stay away, she might seriously consider moving there herself.
