Later on Wednesday, Owens responded to Applegate on Twitter, sharing that she's open to having a conversation with her.She continued,"I think Christina, that what you may have missed is that covering absurd DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] initiatives is a recurring beat on my show."
Owens claimed that she didn't know the"particular ad featured a specific technology designed for people with disabilities, which was an honest mistake," adding,"What we thought it was at the time, was another nonsensical 'representation matters' DEI initiative which I strongly feel patronizes the people it purports to represent. . This wasn't that and we simply got it wrong.
The podcast host said her and her team"create show 5 days a week," noting that it's"an impossibility that we would not at some point make an honest mistake." She continued,"If you felt personally targeted by this mistake, I apologize to you. We simply did not know that the underwear was created for disabled access."
Applegate, it seems, wasn't buying Owens'"honest mistake" comment -- see her response after Candace's tweets below.
