flag Candace Owens faces backlash for spreading unverified claims about Charlie Kirk’s assassination and falsely accusing French officials, prompting a defamation lawsuit.

flag Candace Owens, after being dismissed by The Daily Wire in 2023, has drawn widespread criticism for promoting unverified conspiracy theories following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. flag In a recent podcast series, she claimed Kirk was killed due to alleged doubts about U.S. support for Israel—despite no evidence—and alleged that French officials, including President Emmanuel Macron, ordered her assassination. flag She also falsely claimed Brigitte Macron was born male, prompting a defamation lawsuit from the Macrons, which Owens is challenging. flag While some left-leaning figures have supported her investigation, media analysts have criticized her for using sensationalist, true-crime tactics to gain attention. flag Kirk’s widow, Erika, called the claims false, though a private meeting between the two occurred without public comment on its outcome.
