Erika Kirk Says She and Candace Owens Will Have a ‘Private, In-Person Discussion’ Amid Ongoing Drama
Erika Kirk and Candace Owens appear to be working on conflict resolution.
On Sunday, December 14, the Turning Point USA CEO, 37, — whose husband Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10 — took to X to share that she and the political commentator, 36, will meet face-to-face amid their ongoing drama.
“Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15. @RealCandaceO and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting,” Erika wrote. “I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you.”
As the National Enquirer previously reported, Owens has questioned the circumstances surrounding the Turning Point USA founder’s death, leading to tension between her and the former Miss Arizona.
On Wednesday, December 10, Erika had a sit-down interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, asking for privacy when it comes to people trying to figure out Charlie’s resting place, and slamming those “making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love.”
Owens later reacted to the interview on her eponymous podcast, comparing Erika to Meghan Markle for wanting privacy on her terms, noting, “This is the same person who recorded, had somebody record her over Charlie Kirk’s casket.”
In a CBS town hall which aired Saturday, December 13, journalist Bari Weis pointed out Owens “has been one of the main peddlers” of conspiracies about Charlie’s death and asked Erika “What do you want to say to her and the other people that are putting these lies out into the world?”
“Stop,” Erika replied with an intense stare. “That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop.”
