Candace Owens has not shied away from expressing her disdain for Erika Kirk, the wife of Charlie Kirk, since he died in 2025. Time and again, she has blasted the CEO of TPUSA with personal attacks and accusations, claiming she is profiting from her husband’s assassination.
Kirk’s patience has finally snapped, as she reportedly expressed her true feelings about Owens. The rift between the two women seems to see no end, as the political commentator has also clapped back at her.
Erika Kirk Reportedly Hates Owens More Than Her ‘Political Opponents’
According to an exclusive report by The Daily Mail, Erika Kirk has been busy with the court hearing in Utah to face her husband Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson. A source close to her told the outlet that she had come face-to-face with the 23-year-old and expected to face immense anger or hatred towards him.
But that was not the case; instead, she felt “overwhelming sadness” and grieved her husband’s death even more. They added that she did not fight with him or his family members, and that she felt compassion for them because “two families were destroyed that day.”
“Erika can’t stand her [Candace]. She calls her ‘that b****’ if she talks about her at all,” the insider shared (via Radar). “Erika thinks she’s the worst, most unkind person in the world. Ugly person, inside and out. She’s a soulless ghoul.”
The source said the CEO of TPUSA is not interested in giving Owens her energy, but sometimes, she would “explode with a tirade.” The source explained, “At least with her political opponents, she knew where she stood. They didn’t exactly betray her like Candace did. Candace did her so dirty.”
The report mentioned that in December 2025, Owens and Erika both tried to reconcile, as Megyn Kelly organized a private meeting. The two described the meeting as meaningful, calling it “productive,” but their peace did not last long. Since that conversation, Owens has repeatedly publicly criticized Erika Kirk.
Her most recent criticism of the 37-year-old consisted of analyzing Kirk’s memorial speech for her late husband. According to the Shawn Ryan Show podcast, she pointed out that Kirk did not say much about Charlie Kirk in the speech, and drew a parallel with Vanessa Bryant’s memorial speech for Kobe Bryant.
‘The public cannot stand that Erika refuses to answer’
In the same Daily Mail report, Candace Owens said, “We’re furious too. The public cannot stand that Erika refuses to answer or even ask crucial questions surrounding Charlie’s death.” She claimed that Kirk is using this opportunity as her “personal coronation” and even paying influencers to support her cause.
In February 2026, the political commentator launched a series called Bride of Charlie, which featured a forensic analysis of Erika Kirk’s childhood, family life, and her relationship with her husband. The family source shared that the show severed their ties beyond repair.
“That bridge is burned, it’s more than burned. It’s been blown up. There’s no reason for Erika to ever speak to Candace again. Ever,” the source said. “Candace decided to make this her identity. It’s a grab for attention, building her name and her brand, and making some money off it. That’s what Erika thinks.”
