Erika Kirk Shocker Involving Candace Owens Stuns Internet
Temporary Truce Between Erika Kirk, Candace Owens Turns Heads
Erika Kirk, widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, announced she will sit down face-to-face with political commentator Candace Owens on Monday in a stunning development that halts their escalating public feud.
The private meeting marks a dramatic shift after weeks of tension between the two conservative figures following Charlie Kirk’s September assassination at a Turning Point USA event in Utah.
Erika Kirk revealed the planned discussion in a statement posted on social media, declaring that both women have agreed to pause all public commentary, livestreams and online posts until after their in-person conversation concludes.
Owens quickly responded with her own social media post, stating she looked forward to the discussion between the pair.
The dispute intensified after Owens directed multiple allegations toward Turning Point USA in recent weeks, despite FBI Director Kash Patel explicitly stating no evidence connects the organization or foreign entities to the attack.
Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while delivering remarks at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect, faces murder charges after allegedly firing from a rooftop during the speech.
Prosecutors revealed Robinson confessed to his roommate through text messages, saying he “had enough of [Kirk’s] hatred” and planned the attack for approximately one week.
Erika Kirk made her first public response to conspiracy theories surrounding her husband’s death during a Fox News appearance last week, where she promoted Charlie’s final book about observing the Sabbath.
During the television interview, Erika condemned individuals profiting from theories about the assassination without naming Owens specifically.
She told viewers they could attack her personally but warned against targeting people she loved while earning substantial income from speculation.
Owens previously worked as a prominent speaker and communications director at Turning Point USA until 2020, when she departed amid disagreements.
The organization’s founder characterized her views as going “too down the rabbit holes,” the Daily Mail reported.
The political commentator’s podcast episodes discussing Kirk’s death have generated up to nine million views, with her show currently ranked number one globally across multiple platforms.
In one recent broadcast, Owens criticized Erika for requesting privacy while appearing on national television, comparing the situation to controversies involving the Duchess of Sussex.
Earlier this month, Owens discussed Charlie Kirk’s dating history before his marriage, describing him as “in love” with another woman and sharing private text message exchanges from that period.
The commentary included details about Kirk seeking advice about changing clothes before a date, which many observers interpreted as a slight toward his widow.
Last week, Owens made claims suggesting military involvement in the assassination, writing on social media that she anticipated sharing information proving “our military was involved.”
Her allegations have expanded to include theories about Israeli connections, French paratroopers, Egyptian military forces and alleged security failures at the event.
Blake Neff, producer of Kirk’s show, has publicly disputed Owens’ claims, stating the ongoing commentary is neither amusing nor insignificant.
The Trump administration entered the controversy after Owens urged donors to request refunds from Turning Point USA and alleged the organization missed tax-filing deadlines and misused $8.5 million.
The Treasury Department sent a private letter to Erika Kirk confirming Turning Point USA faces no investigation, according to news reports.
Owens’ podcast generates approximately $10 million in annual revenue through premium advertising rates, with nearly 60 sponsors currently supporting the program despite the controversy.
Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15. @RealCandaceO and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting. I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you.

Erika Kirk now leads Turning Point USA as chief executive, overseeing an organization with 3,500 high school chapters, roughly 900 college chapters, and more than 250,000 members nationwide.
President Donald Trump, who attended Charlie Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium before over 60,000 mourners, credited the activist with helping secure youth votes in the 2024 presidential election.
Trump told Erika Kirk at the memorial service that despite “heartache and pain too great to even fathom,” she had found strength to comfort millions of people during an impossibly difficult time.
