Brett Cooper, Jeremy Boring's Legal Stalking, and the Need for Law Reform
At 3:52:14 · chapter starts 3:45:00
After leaving The Daily Wire, Owens saw the same playbook deployed against Brett Cooper — 22 years old, wanting to leave and have kids. Boring offered Cooper's best friend and maid of honor a contract worth more than Cooper's own salary, successfully weaponizing the friendship. He sued Cooper over wearing a blue shirt during her final announcement — after a viewer had jokingly suggested blue as an NDA signal. Owens publicly defended Cooper, got sued for it, and says she would have paid the $1 million penalty gladly. She calls the pattern legal stalking: arbitration courts allow contractual psychopaths to pursue women legally for years. She wants the laws changed.
The Daily Wire's Secret Playbook: They Did to Breitbart What They Accused Her Of
Owens claims the Michelle Fields / Corey Lewandowski incident that triggered the Breitbart exodus was manufactured by Ben Shapiro and Jamie Weinstein — Michelle Fields' husband — as a pretext to split from Breitbart and take subscribers to build The Daily Wire. That's why, Owens says, The Daily Wire accused her of secretly scheming with Tucker Carlson to do the exact same thing to them: they were projecting their own founding playbook.
