Candace Owens challenges Erika Kirk’s single mother claim in Bride of Charlie series and questions role of her stepfather

Candace Owens is making new claims about Erika Kirk. On Wednesday, Candace Owens released the first episode of her new series titled Bride of Charlie. In the episode, she questioned parts of Erika Kirk’s personal story, especially the claim that she was raised by a single mother. Candace Owens opened the show by reading a viral X post from journalist Elizabeth Lane that criticized Erika Kirk. Then she said she created the series after speaking with Erika’s former classmates and ex-boyfriends.

One major claim stood out. Candace Owens said Erika Kirk was not raised only by her mother, Lori Frantzve. She said Erika’s father, Carl Kenneth Frantzve, was present in her early life. Candace Owens also said Lori Frantzve “married four times,” adding, “We are told that Erika Frantzve was raised by a strong, independent, entrepreneurial single mother… but she’s been married four times that I can see.” So far, Erika Kirk has not publicly responded to these claims.
