Candace Owens is asking out Erika Kirk for remarks she made about her romantic history.
In the course of the Thursday, February 27, episode of her Bride of Charlie YouTube series, Owens, 36, claimed Erika, 37, lied about who she dated before meeting her late husband Charlie Kirk in 2018. (Charlie was fatally shot at a Utah university speaking event in September 2025. He was 31.)
“There’s something casual in regards to the way Erika lies and the way she lies about her background, how she lies about whether or not she’s had boyfriends, didn’t date for five years. That’s not true,” Owens said. “It’s almost like she glitches and she or he doesn’t remember. And there’s a component of that that to me looks like information is being downloaded, like she’s remembering things and may’t quite remember it.”
In the identical episode, Owens also accused Erika of trying thus far high-profile people and attempting to get into the limelight.
“Erika without query and anybody who’s being objective and honest and searching at her history of the folks that she dated and the folks that she desired to be in close proximity to can guarantee to you that this girl desired to be famous like, very badly, desired to be famous by some means,” Owens said.
