*Writer and author Jesse Singal revealed on Twitter recently that before Candace Owens became a prominent mouthpiece for right-wing talking points, she accused him of being a “predator” because he penned a negative story about her.
Singal said he wrote a piece about Owens in New York magazine in 2016, and when she read it, Owens contacted Singal and his editor to claim she did not “feel safe”.
In her email, Owens said Singal was “making me very uncomfortable, and I do not feel safe anymore.” She also claimed several women had accused him of being a “predator” and had receipts to confirm his mistreatment of women.
Singal noted on Twitter that Owens has a habit of making similar threats against those who have criticized her rise to fame.
1/ After I wrote a 2016 story about Candace Owens that made her look like the conspiracy theorist (she is), she wrote me and my boss an email saying I was making her uncomfortable (by referencing her public posts) and insinuating multiple women had called the cops on me. pic.twitter.com/ibugluRRm4

“I don’t know if she was simply lying or was so addled that she *thought* it was true in the moment — that is always the tricky thing with her — but what she’s doing to Crowder (who did, on the merits, clown himself) here is absolutely a pattern,” Singal wrote.

Singal noted in a separate post that Owens, “technically she said I was like a *predator, I think (again, for reaching out to her to comment on a story),” he tweeted.
One Twitter user reacted to Singal’s post, stating, “For a woman who draws that much attention to herself for her profession as a lightening-rod public figure, she sure doesn’t want anyone paying attention to her.”
Another person commented, “How does one “stalk” a blog, and what differentiates said stalking from, uh, reading it?”
A third added, “Funny, she has a history of playing the victim as she says she hates victimhood. A few years ago a woman wrote an article that was critical and she asked her to delete it as she was “ very afraid as a young woman”she was 30 at the time.”
