Candace Owens announced on Monday that her show would be back on the air beginning Wednesday with a new “investigative series” targeting Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, eliciting an abundance of horrified reactions.
The teaser trailer for the series shared by Owens on X begins with news coverage about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but quickly transitions to clips of its subject, as well as critical commentary about her, “Zionists,” and Israel. There’s even a implication that the Turning Point USA CEO is implicated in a Romanian human trafficking scandal.
The series is titled “Bride of Charlie,” and its promotional banner depicts Erika wearing a crown.
Owens, who has promoted a wide variety of conspiracy theories about her former colleague’s death, had initially said she would stop if Erika asked her to. Over time, however, Owens began to subtly, and then outright suggest that the widow might have been involved in a conspiracy to betray her husband.
In the hours since Owens began to publicize her new project, much of the internet has united in disgust at her and those who have run cover for her.
“Everyday, there’s some new line being crossed by this lunatic that makes me wonder whether certain people will finally speak up,” mused RedState’s Bonchie. “They won’t, though. Not even this will be enough, and it’s probably time to start asking why they are so invested in Owens.”
“What would Charlie have to say about this? And what would he think of his so-called friends who can’t summon the courage to say it for him?” wondered The Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon.

What is Owens problem anyway? Geez.
Agreed. Who is funding this loon ?
Marries a Limey, becomes a nutcase. Coincidence?
Probably the same scum financing that little troll Fuentes.
So just look at a nation of 340 million people and understand that 17 million of them are a prime audience for whatever retardation Candace Owens is peddling on the internet.
When and why did Candace go bonkers?
Yikes.
She has little children!
Candace Owens has to be possessed. She is pure evil.
Freedom of speech is not freedom to libel. Erika needs to take this nut to the cleaners.
Someone raises their hand in a crowd of hundreds and the conspiracy begins. Leave the widow alone.
Candace is evil and is not a conservative, and doesn’t knows how to read the Bible. She’s a liar. Makes things up. Believes in stuff that is not in the Bible.
She is evil to a widow.
I think she’s gone insane. Maybe she always was.
Correct
See post 4.
There is no mystery where Candace’s funding comes from—no point in trying to create one.
Who broke Candace Owens and why does she spout nothing but conspiracy theories?
The reason I come to FR is because I genuinely want to know the truth and have as accurate an understanding of the world around me as possible.
One of the things I do when it comes to topics that I truly don’t have an opinion on, is I read through the comments to see....
Are FReepers just making personal attacks and ad hominem arguments?
Are they putting forth countering facts?
Are they correctly describing the other side’s argument?
The only comments I am seeing in this thread are how Owens is a bad person. This is leading me to believe there are no counterfactual arguments and she is likely correct (while possibly still being a bad person).
In addition to what she married into, she probably brings in a lot through her Internet activities. We even have people here on FR who believe that her fantasy about Mme. Macron being a biological male is believable.
