Candace Owens has revealed that interior designer David Netto has told her husband he’d “rather get his a** pounded with a wooden board” than work on their Nashville home.
Conservative commentator Owens said her husband, British businessman George Farmer, wrote “the most polite email” to Netto, complaining that his reply would be considered unacceptable if it had been sent to a “black liberal”. .
She added: “They would have said it was like Jim Crow.”
The 33-year-old mother of two recounted the argument in a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair, in which she discussed her media career as an outspoken black Republican, why she no longer supports Donald Trump — and even a possible run for office of her own .
The arsonist sparked controversy at Paris Fashion Week last year when she tweeted a picture of her and Kanye West wearing White Lives Matter t-shirts.

Owens, pictured here outside her apparent Nashville home, said Netto’s response would be considered unacceptable if it had been sent to a “black liberal”.
The incident thrust Owens into the spotlight and preceded the musician’s descent into anti-Semitic tirades on Twitter that included praise for Hitler.
Owens has been criticized for not condemning West on her Daily Wire show, which has a million and a half subscribers and airs as a podcast and on YouTube.
The rapper later agreed to buy Farmer’s free speech platform Parler, which is popular with the far right.
The site has been blocked by Apple, Google and Amazon for allowing hate speech and is popular with Trump supporters, including some who took part in Wednesday’s US Capitol riots.
Owens spoke of Netto’s hostile reaction after she said she was treated kindly by Nashville locals, and even spoke of a positive encounter with Kamala Harris at the airport, whom she described as “very nice.”
Owens said she reached out to the vice president, adding, “I can’t help it. I told her I wasn’t going to vote for her and she was like, ‘Yeah, okay. I understand.” It was a very nice conversation.”
She said her husband reached out to Netto, who has written about design for the New York Times, after the couple saw his work at a friend’s house.
“My husband wrote the most polite email because he’s always polite, he’s very English,” Owens said. “We didn’t know if we could afford a designer or anything.”
She said Netto wrote back: “Dear George, Thank you for your enquiry. I’d rather get my ass kicked with a wooden board than ever go near either of you. Sincerely, David.’
Owens suggested that if a “white conservative man” had sent the brutal punch to “an outspoken black liberal,” he would have lost everything.
Farmer and Owens are a divisive couple, as the businessman runs the far-right popular “free speech platform” Parler and Owens is an outspoken black Republican

Owens said Nashville locals were mostly friendly to her in public and even had a “very nice chat” with Vice President Kamala Harris when she met her at the airport
Netto told Vanity Fair that Owens and Farmer are “complicit in something very dangerous,” citing Parler’s popularity with some of those involved in the Capitol riots
Netto told Vanity Fair he only spoke to farmers and that it was about “morality,” not race. He added: “After January 6th the joke is over. Such people should expect to be recognized as an accomplice in something very dangerous – and I don’t mean Kanye – and expect to be reprimanded in high society.
“Without Parler, the Proud Boys couldn’t talk to each other, so that’s enough for me … They’ll find someone to do their house and I’m sure it’ll be nice.”
Owens was previously a vocal Trump cheerleader but slammed him after the Republican candidates he supported for the midterms failed to win their seats.
She said on her Daily Wire show that she was suspicious of the former president because he was rude to her after an interview in which they argued about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Owens had previously criticized Trump, saying he was out of touch with his support base after speaking out in favor of the vaccine. Trump then hit on her, she claimed.

She was told by mutual friends that Trump had someone who “egged” him to be mad at Owens — and that he finally said, “Yeah, I’m so mad at Candace.”
The expert revealed the next time she saw Trump, “He was actually rude to me.
“I’m telling you this personal story because I think it’s the first time it made me question myself as a person.”
But she suggested to Vanity Fair that she hadn’t ruled out endorsement for him for the Republican nomination, or running for the office itself.
Owens said she would “like to see who’s running in 2024” and “who has the best vision” before deciding who to support.
Regarding a potential run of her own, she said she would “never say never.” “Maybe seven years ago you spoke to me and told me I would vote for Trump, who the Daily Wire works for, I would have told you to go easy on drugs,” she added. “And so I take the perspective that we have our plans and God is laughing.”
Owens had previously been a staunch Trump supporter and married Oxford graduate Farmer at Trump Winery in Virginia, owned by Eric Trump.
They were joined by a host of equally conservative guests, including actor Jon Voight, radio host Larry Elder, Brexiteer Nigel Farage and Charlie Kirk, who founded right-wing Turning Point USA.
Owens first spoke out in support of Trump in 2017, calling him the “savior” of western civilization.
She slammed the Conservatives for being spineless and not speaking out after claiming Democrats were trying to use the Capitol riots as justification for treating “half of our country like terrorists.”
FIREBAND OWENS IS SWIMMING INTO RAGING THE LEFT
Owens attracted attention last April when Kanye West tweeted his support for her
Owens is an active Republican who regularly attends party events. Above, with Donald Trump Jr.
Owens, 29, was communications director for Turning Points USA, a conservative youth organization.
She has made a name for herself by making controversial claims about race relations in the United States and through an alliance with Kanye West.
Owen’s beliefs include that former President Barack Obama is responsible for the dissolution of race relations in America and that West is one of the country’s “bravetest men” for publicly showing his support for Trump, who has a 10% approval rating among Africans has american.
In 2018, she co-founded the “Blexit” movement, which encourages black Americans to distance themselves from the Democratic Party. She has also appeared on Fox and Friends, where she shared her extreme belief that black Americans are being held down by the party.
Owens notoriously dislikes Black Lives Matter, which she describes as a group of “whiny toddlers.”
The young commentator attracted attention when Kanye West tweeted last year that he “liked the way she thinks”.
She responded, desperately requesting a meeting and telling him how much he inspired her.
In addition to her work for Turning Points, she runs and shows a YouTube channel where she interviews guests and discusses national issues.
Among her recent guests was Roseanne Barr, who was fired from ABC last year for writing a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett.
Owens lent her sympathetic ear as the couple discussed the #MeToo movement, and Barr labeled some of the women who came forward to be victims of sexual harassment and assault at work as “hoes.”
