Candace Owens Criticizes Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Campaign
Candace Owens, a conservative political commentator, recently came under fire for her criticism of the SKIMS brand and their new Wheelchair Underwear campaign. Launched in April 2022, SKIMS introduced an Adaptive line that offers a variety of sizes and neutral colors for its bralette, two bras, and three brief styles.
The line includes adjustable straps making it convenient for people with limited mobility. The campaign for the Adaptive line is also noteworthy as it features models in wheelchairs.
The 33-year-old recent remarks on the SKIMS Adaptive line on her podcast bearing her name have caused outrage among individuals with disabilities and their supporters. “I really I don’t understand how far we’re going to take this inclusivity thing, I really don’t get it, and if I am wrong educate me, “ Owens shared on her podcast. “Whose idea was this? Was it your idea? Okay, you’re fired.”
She further said, “So you just can’t buy Band- arise because I don’t know, I don’t feel included, Look, I assume that people that were in wheelchairs also have to buy bras and have to buy underwear.”
The campaign has received support from people with disabilities and their allies, who have applauded its focus on creating clothing tailored to the requirements of differently-abled individuals. Owens’ comments have reignited the conversation about ableism and the impact of harmful stereotypes on marginalized communities.

Additionally, some criticized Owens for bringing politics into an issue that should remain neutral and for getting sidetracked by a minor aspect rather than emphasizing the overarching goal of inclusiveness.
She's just monetizing ignorance. Don't boost her signal. Ignore her. Nobody will care if nobody cares.
