Owen Shroyer exits InfoWars, citing on-air clashes and a desire to finish his time positively
Owen Shroyer, the 36-year-old InfoWars host known for the War Room program, announced on his stream that he is leaving the network. In a candid broadcast, he told viewers that he had decided to part ways, describing the moment as a “shocking announcement” and apologizing that it had to end abruptly.
Shroyer said he walked off his show last Thursday after what he described as a disruption by Alex Jones, who was pressing him to cover a guest. He emphasized that he intended to return and finish the week positively, but Jones told him he didn’t need him and offered him farewell vibes instead. The former host explained that the decision came after a buildup of tension he had felt while working with Jones, including Jones labeling him as negative and pessimistic.
The departure comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding both Shroyer and Jones. Shroyer reminded viewers of his own past involvement with Jan. 6-related legal issues, noting he had spent time in prison after pleading guilty to participating in the events at the U.S. Capitol. He added that his remarks were not an attack on Jones and that he still respects him, but he felt it was time to step away.
Shroyer acknowledged that his absence had been noticeable to followers and suggested that his reduced presence on the War Room was a factor in the decision to leave.
Additional context and possible implications:
– This marks another public split within the InfoWars lineup, highlighting the strained work dynamics often described by staff and guests on the platform.
– Shroyer’s departure could influence discussions around the show’s future direction and the type of commentary featured on War Room.
– Fans and critics alike may reassess Shroyer’s era on the program in light of his candid explanation and prior legal matters.
Summary: A popular InfoWars host has quit after a contentious stretch with leadership, citing on-air pressure and a desire to end his tenure on a positive note. He emphasized that the split was not about a family emergency and noted his respect for Alex Jones, even as he steps away from the platform.
Positive note: For Shroyer’s supporters, this move could open opportunities for new directions in the War Room and provide a chance to reinterpret his public persona outside of InfoWars’ frame.
