Political commentator Candace Owens is escalating her public feud with Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, claiming that the late conservative activist’s marriage was “never real” while reviving allegations linking Erika Kirk to individuals associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Owens made the remarks during the June 25 episode of her podcast, where she said she no longer believes Charlie and Erika Kirk’s marriage was genuine.
“I do not believe, and I want to be clear here, that his relationship with Erika Kirk was ever real. I am firm on that now,” Owens said.
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was killed in September 2025 after being shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. Authorities have described the shooting as an assassination, and the criminal case remains ongoing.
During the podcast, Owens also repeated previous allegations that Erika Kirk had connections to Epstein’s circle through French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, the late founder of Next Model Management.
Owens said additional people had contacted her with information about Erika Kirk’s alleged employment at Next Model Management, which she described as being “in Epstein’s orbit.”
However, Owens did not present documentary evidence supporting the claims during the podcast.
There has been no public confirmation that Erika Kirk worked for Next Model Management or had any connection to Epstein or Brunel. No law enforcement agency has publicly linked Erika Kirk to Epstein’s network, and investigators have not suggested any connection between Epstein and the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Owens also expanded on a broader theory that Charlie Kirk’s personal and professional life had been infiltrated by individuals working against him.
“This is what I believe Charlie Kirk’s life became. A bunch of people who infiltrated, surrounded him. He had no idea that he was living the Truman Show,” Owens said.
She further claimed that people around Kirk “were working together to just produce and follow a script that runs back to Tel Aviv,” though she did not provide evidence supporting that assertion, per International Business Times.
Authorities investigating Kirk’s killing have not publicly identified evidence supporting Owens’ allegations regarding his marriage or claims of a coordinated conspiracy involving Israeli actors.
The public dispute between Owens and Erika Kirk has intensified in recent months, with Owens repeatedly questioning the widow’s actions following Charlie Kirk’s death.
Erika Kirk has not publicly responded in detail to Owens’ latest allegations.
As of now, Owens’ claims remain unsubstantiated, and no publicly available investigative findings have corroborated allegations regarding Charlie Kirk’s marriage, Erika Kirk’s alleged connections to Epstein’s associates, or any broader conspiracy surrounding the assassination.
