Candace Owens Facing $20M Defamation Lawsuit for Claiming GOP House Candidate Kim Klacik Was a Strip Club Madame, Money Launderer
Mediaite ^ | Aug 24th, 2021 | Ken Meyer

Former Republican congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik is suing Candace Owens for $20 million, alleging that the conservative commentator defamed her with multiple false claims of illegal activity.

The lawsuit, first reported by The Baltimore Sun, revolves around a 44 minute Instagram live video where Owens made a series of criminal allegations against Klacik. These charges include tax and campaign finance fraud, money laundering, doing drugs, and working as the “madame” of a strip club.

Law&Crime (Mediaite’s sister website) obtained court documents from the lawsuit Klacik has filed against Owens, and Klacik’s lawyer is arguing that the video was an extension of a “defamatory smear campaign” Owens has waged against his client. Klacik’s attorney, Jacob Frenkel, further argues that Klacik has lost out on a book deal, media appearances and other financial, political opportunities because of Owens’ claims.

A dubious source, Mediaite, but apparently a real lawsuit.

Clearly Ms. Klacik is too classy to be a strip club Madame.

Conservative sororicide. Shameful. Doesn't help anyone. Must be over a man.

Even if true why would Candace bring it up?

Because she is a headline seeker.

I would assume they meant by Candace.

People can be right 90% of the time - and then fall to ego.

Everybody has a past and deserves the grace of having it ignored, if they’ve repented.

OMGoodness...

Most disappointing if true.

Even more disappointing if not true.

Oh well. Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be strip club madams.

Trouble is, here in America, the bar is set almost impossibly high to collect damages if you are a public figure. It is why people can say/print just about anything they want about President Trump and get away with it.

But if you are not a public figure, like say Nick Sandmann, then you can collect if you are defamed.

I don’t get this at all. Candace Owens has more important things to do than get into a catfight with this failed candidate.
