Turning Point USA has finally sent a cease and desist letter to Candace Owens, which seems like a last ditch attempt to warn her off her present course before filing a lawsuit. Owens is responding exactly as you would expect, by a) turning the letter into more content for her show and b) by lashing out at TPUSA saying the law is "gay."
Candace is throwing a tantrum.
She said Erika should’ve called her before sending a cease-and-desist.
Reminder: Erika already sat through a 3+ hour meeting with Candace.
That was the call.
That was the courtesy.
No one owes her unlimited access.

She went on to say that TPUSA is as likely to stop her from talking about them as they are to stop the sun from rising. She adds that she's willing to pay TPUSA whatever they want and expects she can raise that money from her supporters overnight.
Candace tries to act macho and challenges TPUSA amid a freshly served cease and desist:
“Turning Point USA, you'd have better luck suing the sun. Get your lawyer to send a cease and desist to the sun, and you will have better luck in terms of g- getting it to stop than from… pic.twitter.com/SNjCf21AXx— NΛTLY DΞNISΞ (@NatlyDenise_) January 22, 2026
But we are learning something about the case against Owens because she read a portion of the letter out loud. It turns out she was under an pretty standard NDA as part of a speaking contract she had with TPUSA which she didn't cancel until December. According to TPUSA, that meant she was obligated not to trash the organization for another year beyond that point. She's clearly violated that, hence her stated willingness to just pay up. Here's her reading of the letter.
CANDACE OWENS IS COOKED 🔥
Candace reads through a portion of the CEASE AND DESIST letter that TPUSA just sent her‼️
She is COPING HARD and as expected she’s using the typical…
“I DINDU NUFFIN”
…defense.
Oh and guess what !?
Turns out that TPUSA has been extremely helpful behind the scenes sending Candace the info she needed to prove her claims weren’t true.But she’s been DOWNPLAYING how much they’ve been corresponding to her fans so she can keep her LIES rolling.
She also whines and complains about TPUSA not sending her the type of “evidence” that she wanted but…
JUST IN CASE ANYONE FORGOT…
…Candace is a drama soap opera slop podcaster not an INVESTIGATOR or any other form of law enforcement.
She’s in no position to DEMAND anything of anyone.
And to be completely honest TPUSA has been playing way too nice with her and this Cease and Desist probably should’ve come sooner.
They gave her every opportunity to STOP and she took their kindness for weakness.
Now here we are.

So what could happen here? Well, it seems pretty clear she is going to be sued for damages and attorney's fees. Given the NDA contract, this should be open and shut. In fact, it's not just the contract, it's also the fact that Owens met with Erika Kirk who corrected her on these points and gave her documents showing the truth. Despite that, Owens has been insinuating for months that the company is part of an assassination plot against their own founder. So she could also be facing a defamation claim and it's hard to see how she does anything but lose the case at trial.
Still, Owens is married to someone very wealthy so it's not like this is going to land her in the poor house. She seems to have found a unique niche whereby she has enough of a following that she can potentially make more from making up these fantasy stories about Kirk's death than she is likely to ever lose by being sued over those false stories. As she says in the video above, she expects to be able to raise in a single day whatever amount of money TPUSA might demand. And that means that all the money she's made from her show by attacking the organization for the past several months is just earnings for her. Even if she loses, she comes out ahead financially. That seems to be her plan.
In fact, she seems to be taking the same approach to the lawsuit from the Macrons. She could lose millions if she loses the case, but will it be more or less than the money she made off the topic already? Can she put out a call for support to make up those losses. So long as making up stuff about people is a financial winner, there's little incentive for her to stop.
Never liked Candace Owens, just an attention getting big mouth.
It wasn’t only her, there were a few other Youtubers.
She’s turned into a crazy lady.
Her and Tuck.
I don’t know if she is on the take, but Tuck seems to be unduly defensive of Qatar for some reason.
MS. GARBAGE: Candace Mengele Owens looking for attention, again.
Ahem, Salem Media.
Candace Owens is the right wing equivalent of what Rush Limbaugh used to call “drive by journalism”.
Drop a couple of hints of “bad stuff” and then run on to the next story.
It is a very slimy method of smearing people.
At some point the target has no choice—sue Owens or watch their reputation get trashed.
Candace is CRA-CRA!!!
Regardless of all the knee-jerk BS that goes on around here, I think Candace is on to something. It may or may not have anything to do with Kirk’s death, but the TPUSA people are highly suspect.
Candace throws a ton of stuff at the wall.
Of course some of it will stick—just like a broken clock gets the time correct twice a day.
You don’t give the broken clock credit for that.
A video I saw showed a guy seconds after the shooting removing something from Kirk’s pocket and calmly walking away with chaos all around him.
“she can raise that money from her supporters overnight.”
Does that mean her husband and his family aren’t willing to chip in to help fund her insanity?
“Candace Owen’s husband George Farmer’s net worth is $180 - $240 million (his father Lord Michael approximately $195 million).”
Candace herself is worth (financially — not as a human being) $12 million to $20 million.
I laugh when she says she’s going to set up a GoFundMe or GiveSendGo site. With hundreds of millions of her own money, she expects her cult people to send money.
Reminds me of Jimmy and Tammy Faye Baker, and the doofus people, many in poverty, who sent the PTL Club money. (Most televangelists, really.)
Is she still saying that Charlie was a time traveler from the future who knew what was going to happen to him? I used to like her, but she’s bonkers.
“Never liked Candace Owens, just an attention getting big mouth.”
She is that for sure, but she’s way worse.
On a podcast yesterday it was discussed that her big mouth AND lunacy have harmed the TPUSA organization.
Several weeks ago she told people to stop sending donations to Turning Point, AND to demand refunds if they’ve ever donated. This probably will be a point in a lawsuit. (TP has waited much too long to deal with this crackpot.)
She is LITERALLY insane with jealousy of Erika. Movies have been made about that level of jealousy frying a brain. I cannot believe her husband doesn’t kick her to the curb; she’s impacting his credibility.
“Tuck seems to be unduly defensive of Qatar for some reason.”
He’s in the process of building or buying a house in Qatar.
