Enes Freedom says LeBron James bows to China and has '0 Morals'



Basketball star LeBron James made history on Tuesday when he broke the NBA record for most career points scored, but former NBA player Enes Freedom is publicly slamming James.

Freedom accused James of bowing to China, tweeting a list that included, "38,388 Points," "0 Morals," "0 Values," "0 Principles," "0 Empathy," and "1 Bow Down to #China."

"Congratulations to @KingJames," Freedom wrote.

"People get mad when I speak the truth because I'm the only athlete who actually speaks the truth," he wrote in another post. "I don't care about your endorsement deals or your dirty money. You can NOT buy me #CCP! Don't expect me to respect you or your game when your shoes are literally made by SLAVE KIDS."

\u201cPeople get mad when I speak the truth because I\u2019m the only athlete who actually speaks the truth.\nI don\u2019t care about your endorsement deals or your dirty money.\n\nYou can NOT buy me #CCP!\n\nDon\u2019t expect me to respect you or your game when your shoes are literally made by SLAVE KIDS\u201d

Freedom is a staunch critic of human rights abuses around the globe, including those perpretuated in China. He has described Chinese President Xi Jinping as a "brutal dictator."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy invited Freedom to the State of the Union address as a guest.

"@EnesFreedom loves the USA. He understands freedom. And he is willing to sacrifice his job in order to stand up against the Chinese Communist Party. I was proud to have him as one of my guests for State of the Union," McCarthy tweeted.

Freedom expressed his gratitude for McCarthy's "friendship, leadership and support."

\u201cI\u2019m deeply honored and humbled to attend the State of the Union address as @SpeakerMcCarthy\u2019s guest.\n\nI appreciate your friendship, leadership and support.\u201d

Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who invited an "abortion rights activist" to the speech as a guest, wore an "ABORTION" pin with a heart-shaped cutout to the State of the Union address.

Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania also posted a photo of herself wearing the "ABORTION" pin. She invited an "abortion patient advocate" as a guest for the address.

\u201cI say the word, I wear the word.\n\nAbortion care is health care.\n\nAbortion care saves lives.\u201d

Whitlock: The DNC and the Black KKK shocked that I would photoshop LeBron James in outfit they designed for him



The DNC, the governing body of the Democratic Party, has been dressing black voters in Ku Klux Klan hoods and robes for 60 years.

Yesterday, I ran a photoshopped image with my column of LeBron James in a hood and robe to hammer a point I made in the column about the NBA player and leftist's bigoted attitude toward black people and indifference to the murder of a white teenager, Ethan Liming.

It’s not the first time – nor will it be the last time – I have made reference to a Black KKK. My first reference was in late 2007 after the murder of NFL star Sean Taylor, who was murdered inside his home. Prosecutors charged five men – Venjah Hunte, Eric Rivera, Jason Mitchell, Charles Wardlow, and Timothy Brown – with burglarizing and murdering Taylor. Before police identified and arrested the assailants, I wrote a piece predicting that Taylor died at the hands of the Black KKK, a term I created to describe the criminal gangs of young people who terrorize black communities.

My column and use of the term “Black KKK” shocked and angered leftists. Fifteen years later, leftists are still feigning shock, anger, and disbelief that I would argue that a KKK-like pathology afflicts black people who swallow leftist ideology.

The left-wing website Mediaite acted like the LeBron photoshop was a whodunit, publishing a piece titled “For Some Reason, The Blaze Published a Photoshopped Image of LeBron as a Klansman on a Jason Whitlock Article.” John Whitehouse, a reporter for the alt-left media platform Media Matters, complained over Twitter: “The Blaze – a far-right website of Glenn Beck, Steven Crowder, Mark Levin and more – photoshopped @kingjames into a KKK hood for a column by Jason Whitlock; archived version here:”

This isn’t a whodunit. I did it. I’ve been doing it. I’ve been arguing for years that white political leftists have forced black culture and people to adopt the mindset of the KKK. The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1865 and served as the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. It terrorized black and white people who refused to support the racist policies of the Democratic Party.

That’s not an opinion. It’s a historical fact.

There’s a myth promoted by Democrats that the party abandoned its racist policies and attitudes in the 1960s after losing the civil rights war. They did not shift their attitudes and policies. They seduced black people into adopting their anti-black attitudes and policies.

The Democratic National Committee, the governing body of the Democratic Party, massaged its name without telling black people or the media. In the late 1960s, the DNC switched to standing for Dead Negroes Confederacy. The Dead Negroes Confederacy loves dead negroes. Its policies and attitude promote the deaths of negroes.

LeBron James, most celebrity influencers, John Whitehouse, the writers at Media Matters and Mediaite, Joy Reid, Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, and on and on are rewarded for advocating the policies of the Dead Negroes Confederacy.

Let’s take a quick glance at some of the DNC’s best work:

  • The DNC has convinced black voters that the annual slaughter of thousands of black babies through abortion is a fundamental freedom and right.
  • The DNC has convinced black voters that George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Eric Garner are more heroic and worthy of celebration than Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, and Thomas Sowell.
  • The DNC, through its promotion of Black Lives Matter, has convinced black voters that the disruption of the nuclear family serves our interests.
  • The DNC has convinced black voters that a government check can replace a black father and husband.
  • The DNC has convinced black voters that all educational and behavioral standards must be lowered or removed because it believes black Americans can’t meet them.

The policies and cultural norms supported by the DNC lead to death, violence, chaos, dysfunction, and hostility toward religious faith and objective truth.

As a means of paying homage to old-school Klansmen, supporters of the Dead Negroes Confederacy fight for the right of black people and black entertainers to commodify, commercialize, and cling to calling each other “n***er.”

Worse, the work of the DNC has caused black people to be totally indifferent to black violence, carnage, and dysfunction.

Three black men allegedly murdered a white teenager and honor roll student, Ethan Liming, in the parking lot of LeBron’s I Promise School. LeBron doesn’t care. The outspoken NBA star who can seemingly never hold his tongue or Twitter fingers when anyone black is harmed by a white perpetrator has failed to say or do anything of substance about the death of Ethan Liming.

James is quiet because he’s a member of the DNC’s Black KKK. The Black KKK expects young black men to act violently and criminally. The Black KKK holds black people to no standard of moral behavior. The Black KKK believes in the superiority of whiteness and white people.

That’s why the DNC and the Black KKK are outraged whenever white people fail. Expectations are a sign of respect. The Dead Negroes Confederacy and the Black KKK have no expectations for black people.

That’s why Media Matters and Mediaite want to credit TheBlaze, Glenn Beck, Steven Crowder, and Mark Levin for my work, creativity, and excellence.

Media Matters, Mediaite, John Whitehouse, and the rest of the DNC don’t believe in black excellence. I do.

'He is risking his life': Russian tennis star shows what true courage looks like



Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev wrote a truly courageous message on a TV camera moments after advancing to the final at the Dubai Championships on Friday.

A video of Rublev writing “No War Please” on a TV camera just after beating Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in their semifinal match has taken Twitter by storm.

Kyle Rittenhouse announces plans to sue LeBron James



Kyle Rittenhouse said this week that he's filing a lawsuit against NBA star LeBron James.

Rittenhouse on Tuesday also announced that he was looking at filing lawsuits against politicians and news organizations — and even specific people such as TV hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Cenk Uygur — for what he said was spreading lies about his character after he fatally shot two men and wounded a third in self-defense during 2020's Kenosha, Wisconsin, riots.

What are the details?

According to the Daily Wire, Rittenhouse told journalist and host Drew Hernandez during Tuesday night's broadcast of "Frontlines" that he and his legal team are sending James a letter and would "deal with [him] in a courtroom."

“I think everyone wants to know," Hernandez asked. "What are your plans for LeBron James?”

“He’ll be getting a letter, too,” Rittenhouse answered. “Anybody who defamed me, or lied about me, we’re just gonna send them a letter and then deal with them in a courtroom.”

James in November mocked Rittenhouse for crying during his emotionally charged testimony in squaring off against what he said were dangerous protesters.

“What tears????? I didn’t see one,” James joked at the time. “Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”

Rittenhouse in December also hit out at James, and told BlazeTV hosts that he was disappointed in James' remarks.

"I was a Lakers fan, too, before he said that," Rittenhouse said at the time. "I was really pissed off when he said that because I liked LeBron. And then I'm like, you know what, f*** you, LeBron."

— Drew Hernandez (@Drew Hernandez) 1645582732

On Monday night, Rittenhouse told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that he and his legal team are launching what he called the Media Accountability Project "as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they said and deal with them in court."

"Right now we’re looking at quite a few. Politicians, celebrities, athletes. Whoopi Goldberg’s on the list. She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers," he added. "She went on to still say that."

As previously reported by Blaze Media, Rittenhouse's Media Accountability Project website quotes Malcolm X.

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power," a portion of the site reads.

Enes Kanter calls out Michael Jordan for placating black community with money but offering no real help



Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter has blasted NBA superstar Michael Jordan for not doing more for the black community.

Kanter has previously been outspoken about humans rights violations and the role he says that Nike plays in human rights atrocities.

What are the details?

A Sunday report from Mediaite states that Turkish-born Kanter made the remarks during a CNN segment on Sunday night in which he accused Jordan of doing "nothing for the black community in America" save for "giving them money."

Kanter told CNN's Pamela Brown that the famed basketball player "has not done anything for the black community because he cares too much about his shoe sales."

"Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan," Kanter complained. "Michael Jordan hasn't done anything, nothing, for the black community in America besides just, you know, giving them money. I feel like we need to call out these athletes. At least LeBron James is going out there and being the voice of all those people who are oppressed in America."

Enes Kanter just called out Michael Jordan on CNN: \u201cMichael Jordan has not done anything for the black community because he cares too much about his shoe sales.\u201d @EnesKanter @Jumpman23 @Nike @KingJames @celticspic.twitter.com/6P06F1NYD0

What else?

Later during the interview, Kanter added that those purchasing Nike products should consider "every time you put your shoes on, you put that T-shirt on your back, there is so much blood and sweat and oppression on those items, so please, think twice before you buy any of their stuff."

In October, he took aim at Nike CEO Phil Knight for not speaking up against China's atrocities.

"Dear Nike, your company says that you're making a positive impact in our communities," Kanter began in a video-message shared to his social media channels at the time. "And that is true. Yes, you are. Here, in the United States, Nike stands with Black Lives Matter, Nike stands with Stop Asian Hate, Nike stands with the Latino community, and Nike stands with the LGBTQ community. And Nike remains vocal about injustice here in America."

"But when it comes to China, Nike remains silent," he added. "You do not address police brutality in China, you do not speak about discrimination against the LGBTQ community, you do not say a word about the oppression of minorities in China. You are scared to speak up."

Kanter insisted that Nike is utilizing forced Uyghur labor.

"Who makes your shoes in China? Do you even know? There are so many forced labor factories in China," Kanter continued.

Nike has previously insisted that it "does not source products from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region."

LeBron James makes fun of Kyle Rittenhouse crying on witness stand — and outspoken NBA superstar gets shredded for it on Twitter



Socially conscious NBA superstar LeBron James weighed in on the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial Wednesday by mocking the 18-year-old defendant for becoming emotional and beginning to cry on the witness stand.

James — reacting to a USA Today headline saying Rittenhouse "broke down in tears" — told his 50 million Twitter followers that he wasn't buying it, among other things.

"What tears?????" James asked in his now viral tweet. "I didn't see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court." He finished off his message with a trio of laughing-crying emojis.

What tears????? I didn\u2019t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. https://twitter.com/usatoday/status/1458521089152274442\u00a0\u2026

As of Thursday morning, James' tweet garnered nearly 170,000 likes, nearly 29,000 retweets, and over 23,000 comments.

Oops

Of course, not all of the comments were favorable. In fact, James — who's unwisely opined on a number of issues beyond the basketball court — got his head handed to him by a several prominent Twitter users:

And conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller called James a "f***ing coward" while mocking him back, asking if he plans on offering "any support for your fellow NBA player @EnesKanter speaking out against the mass extermination of ethnic Muslims in China?"

But notable blue checkmarks agreed with James

As you might guess, a number of Twitterverse luminaries saw things the way James did.

"Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27," CNN commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas tweeted. "Think about how much their loved ones have cried, real anguish and grief, not crocodile tears."

"F*** this brat's crocodile tears," Amanda Marcotte, a politics writer for Salon, tweeted. "Self-defense is when you are minding your own business, someone attacks you, and you have to fight back. Rittenhouse picked up a gun and went looking for trouble. He found it and, in a sane world, would go to jail for it."

And Carli Pierson — an attorney and USA Today opinion writer — also invoked the "crocodile tears" charge while writing that Rittenhouse came across as "melodramatic" and shouldn't be believed.

"Regardless of how Rittenhouse tries to twist his story — or twist his sad face into tears — his innocent kid act shouldn't fool anyone," Pierson said, adding that he "could get life in prison if convicted, and that's what he deserves."

Oh, and how can we leave out this one?

Shaquille O'Neal skewers LeBron James over schedule complaints: 4 hours a week, $200 million a year while 40 million Americans have lost their jobs



Basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal blasted fellow NBA star LeBron James after James complained about the league's grueling new schedule, which he said is not giving NBA players enough rest.

In fiery remarks, the former Lakers star argued that superstar athletes — such as James — continue to make massive amounts of money during a global pandemic while countless everyday people have lost their jobs due to thecoronavirus.

What's a brief history here?

James in June blamed a rash of basketball player injuries on what he said was the league's rushed restart following the conclusion of the 2019-2020 season.

In a pointed rant, James tweeted, "They all didn't wanna listen to me about the start of the season. I knew exactly what would happen. I only wanted to protect the well being of the players which ultimately is the PRODUCT & BENEFIT of OUR GAME! These injuries isn't just 'PART OF THE GAME.' It's the lack of PURE RIM REST rest before starting back up. 8, possibly 9 ALL-STARS has missed Playoff games (most in league history). This is the best time of the year for our league and fans but missing a ton of our fav players. It's insane. If there's one person that know about the body and how it works all year round it's ME! I speak for the health of all our players and I hate to see this many injuries this time of the year. Sorry fans wish you guys were seeing all your fav guys right now."

In a statement on James' remarks, NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said, "Injury rates were virtually the same this season as they were during 2019-20 while starter-level and All-Star players missed games due to injury at similar rates as the last three seasons. While injuries are an unfortunate reality of our game, we recognize the enormous sacrifices NBA players and teams have made to play through this pandemic."

What did Shaq say in response?

In an interview with CNBC, O'Neal said, "When you're living in a world where 40 million people have been laid off and I'm making $200 million, you won't get no complaining from me. If I gotta play back to back to back to back to back ... and I'm making all that money, I just gotta deal ..."

He continued, "I'm not knocking what anybody said, but me personally, I don't complain and make excuses because real people like you who are really working their tail off, you don't make as much money as we do, and all we gotta do is train two hours a day, and then play a game two hours at night; we make a lot of money. So my thought process is a little different."

'YOU'RE NEXT': LeBron James threatens officer who allegedly shot knife-wielding teen



LeBron James publicly threatened a Columbus police officer on Wednesday, posting a picture of the officer's face on Twitter to his 50 million followers with the message, 'YOU'RE NEXT."

The image of the officer was captured from video in the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant from the day before, when an officer intervened as Bryant attacked another young woman with a knife.

What are the details?

Bryant was shot at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and can be seen on bodycam footage in an altercation with one female and shoving her to the ground before swinging a knife at a second female.

The officer responding to the scene fired at Bryant before she stabbed the second woman, and Bryant later died at a hospital.

Despite the footage showing Bryant attacking others with a deadly weapon, James targeted an officer on the scene, blasting out the officer's picture with the message, "YOU'RE NEXT" with an emoji of an hourglass and the hashtag, "#ACCOUNTABILITY."

Note: TheBlaze has edited the officer's face out of the image below.


James' tweet was deleted more than an hour later, as others on Twitter expressed fury over his threat.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted in response, "Lebron James is inciting violence against an Ohio police officer. This is disgraceful and dangerous. Is the NBA okay with this? Is Twitter?"

Outkick founder Clay Travis replied to James, "Did you even watch the video, bud? He shot a woman armed with a knife trying to kill an unarmed person! Here's his perspective. This is even more shameful than you shutting up and dribbling for your boy Chairman Xi in China."

Conservative writer Carmine Sabia told the Los Angeles Lakers star, "You are a buffoon. He saved a black girl from being murdered. Believe me he will not even lose his job for it. He did his job. You should be in prison for endangering this man's life. Give up your police protection LeBron. Then you can allow teens to stab you if you want."

The National Fraternal Order of Police responded, ".@KingJames, with his vast resources & influence, should educate himself and, frankly, has a responsibility to do so, on the facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful & extremely reckless. The officer saved a young girl's life. No amount of gaslighting will change that fact."

LeBron James goes on Capitol chaos rant: There are '2 AMERIKKKAS' and we 's**tted away 4 years' by electing Trump



NBA superstar LeBron James reacted to the chaos at the U.S. Capitol by criticizing the tenure of President Donald Trump and claiming there are two different "AMERIKKKAS," where Black Lives Matter rioters are treated worse than the rioters who stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday.

Before Thursday's Los Angeles Lakers game against the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron walked into the Staples Center wearing a shirt that read: "DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?" In a smaller font, the shirt stated: "In memoriam of the countless Black lives lost to police brutality and racial injustice."

LeBron posted a photo of him wearing his shirt on Instagram.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW???!! I know the answer to that," LeBron wrote on Instagram, and included several cursing angry emojis. "You still don't cause no matter what happens you still won't be judge, looked at crazy, chained, beaten, hung, shot to death cause of the color of your skin!!!! 2 AMERIKKKAS we live in and it was at FULL CAPACITY LIVE IN DIRECT yesterday in our Nations CAPITAL AT THE CAPITOL!!"

James tagged the post with the hashtag: #IPrayForBetterDaysForMyPeople.

Following the game, James commented on the riots at the U.S. Capitol. The Lakers star suggested that Trump supporters received preferential treatment from law enforcement during the unrest in Washington, D.C., and labeled those involved as "terrorists."

"And that was a prime example of that yesterday, and if you don't understand that or don't see that after seeing what you saw yesterday, then you really need to take a step back — not even just one step, but maybe four or five, or even 10 steps backwards and ask yourself how do you want your kids, or how do you want your grandkids, or how do we want America to be viewed as?" James said during a post-game press conference. "Do we want to live in this beautiful country?"

"If those were my kind storming the Capitol, what would have been the outcome? And I think we all know," James said during his diatribe. "There's no ifs, ands or buts — we already know what would've happened to my kind if anyone would have even got close to the Capitol, let alone storm inside the offices, inside the hallways."

“I couldn't help but wonder, if it was my kind storming the Capitol, what would have been the outcome?"… https://t.co/XGSnJLVMIg

James asked, "Do you understand how hard it is for us [black people] to continue to live our lives the way we live, continue to inspire, continue to give everything we got?

"Everyone jumps on the bandwagon of what we provide, what we bring, the way we dress, our music, our culture, our food," LeBron ranted. "Everyone steals from what we do, and then they want to act like they did it or they brought it to this world.

"We don't get our due diligence, the respect, we don't get anything back from this country apart from a slap in the face," said the 36-year-old NBA superstar who earns about $100 million a year and has an estimated net worth of $500 million.

LeBron's teammate, Lakers forward Anthony Davis, compared the chaos at the Capitol with the Black Lives Matter protests and riots that happened over the summer.

"It's like a double standard," Davis said. "On the other side, an entire group runs into the nation's Capitol and get escorted."

Capitol Police, U.S. Park Police, D.C. Police, and National Guard removed Trump supporters from the Capitol building. Authorities used pepper spray, fired tear gas canisters, flashbang grenades, and smoke explosives to disperse the crowd. These are many of the same types of crowd control munitions that law enforcement has used during violent protests and riots that have regularly occurred in American cities since the death of George Floyd while in police custody on May 25.

Shortly after the storming of the Capitol building, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) instituted a 6 p.m. curfew and extended her declaration of a public emergency for an additional 15 days.

Four protesters died during the Capitol protests, three from "medical emergencies," and Ashli Babbitt, a 14-year Air Force veteran who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer while trying to climb through a window in the building.

There were 60 law enforcement officers who were injured during the riot, including 15 who were hospitalized, according to The Hill. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, 42, died on Thursday evening. He succumbed to his injuries that he suffered "while physically engaging with protesters."

LeBron, a vocal and longtime supporter of the Democrats, focused his anger on Trump, and blamed the president for the situation at the nation's capital.

"The events that took place yesterday was a direct correlation of the president that's in the seat right now — of his actions, his beliefs, his wishes," James said. "He cares about nobody besides himself. Nobody. Absolutely nobody. He doesn't care about this country. He doesn't care about his family. He doesn't care about anybody besides himself."

"Four years ago, I sat there and said this is the beginning of the end for our country," said LeBron, who has been an ardent critic of Trump. "And hopefully it only lasts four years.

"But the one thing you can't get back in life, one thing you can never get back, and that's time," James continued. "Can't get back time. We've literally just s**tted away four years. How do we recoup that?"

Candace Owens shreds 'pea-brained' LeBron James, BLM for ambush on LA sheriffs: 'The racist, anti-police, black lives matter LIE is to blame'



Conservative commentator Candace Owens tore into NBA player LeBron James for his support of the Black Lives Matter movement's rhetoric following the horrific ambush on two deputies in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.

What's a very brief history here?

Two sheriff's deputies were shot in an unprovoked attack as they sat in a police cruiser on a Los Angeles street, according to authorities.

Both were "severely wounded" during the incident, and taken to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery.

As they arrived, Black Lives Matter activists reportedly converged on the facility, blocking entrances, demanding the officers be left to die from their grievous injuries.

Several protesters were arrested during the fracas.

What are the details?

Referring to the weekend's attack on the sheriffs, Owens on Sunday said that James — who once insisted that black men are "literally hunted" every time they leave their homes — is complicit in antagonizing anti-cop activists.

Owens — author of "Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democratic Plantation" — asked, "Why does this happen? Because pea-brained celebrities that are idolized like @KingJames tell young black men that they are 'literally being hunted.' This is the natural result of such hyperbolic, dishonest rhetoric."

"The racist, anti-police, black lives matter LIE is to blame," she insisted.

The conservative commentator later wrote, "Why else does this happen? Because when pea-brained athletes put the name of an alleged RAPIST on their helmets and jerseys, criminals begin believing they are acting as heroes."

"BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE COMPLICIT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, ATHLETES, AND ENTERTAINERS ARE TO BLAME," she added.

What else?

Later on Sunday, Owens spoke to Mark Levin during an appearance on Fox's "Life, Liberty, & Levin," where she said James's apparent outrage over white privilege and racism was overblown and misplaced.

"He's got a white gardener, a white chef, all various white people that work for him, white driver," she said. "So if that's racism, LeBron, please, please share some of that with the rest of us."

The conservative also said that many celebrities privately correspond with her, and allegedly admit to being closeted conservatives who live in fear of losing their affluent positions in Hollywood.

"If I opened my inbox and showed you the amount of celebrities that have written to me privately, that silent majority that we're always talking about, they've written to me and said, 'I'm finally starting to see the truth. I can't stand being in Hollywood. I'm not allowed to use my voice to say what I actually believe," Owens told Levin.

She added, "These are the same celebrities that are actually posting the black squares on Instagram and saying 'We must care about black lives.' And they're saying they're doing it basically under duress because if they don't, they'll lose their entire careers."

Owens also promised that there is a cultural and political awakening taking place across the U.S. for the better.

"There is something shaking and something happening in this country, and more and more people are awake and alive to what is really at risk, which is really the values and the principles that this country was built upon," she insisted.
