Candace Owens has turned her spotlight on Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, launching a documentary series that questions the Turning Point USA chief executive's account of her own childhood — starting with the date she was born.
The first episode of 'Bride of Charlie', which dropped on 25 February, leans on alleged excerpts from a 1998 divorce filing between Erika's parents, Kent and Lori Frantzve. Owens claimed the petition lists Erika's date of birth as 22 November 1988 — two days after the 20 November date Erika has publicly stated, Us Weekly reported.
'What alarms me about Erika isn't so much the fact that she lies, which we will prove to you over and over again, but it's also the fact that I don't know that she's aware that she's lying,' Owens said during the episode.
She added that the Turning Point USA boss appeared to have a 'faulty memory or something', claiming the lies were 'so stupid' that Erika may not fully realise she is telling them.
Candace Owens 'Exposes' Erika Kirk's Birth Date Clashes
The hook here is paperwork from the past. Erika says she was born on 20 November 1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
But Owens waves around her parents' 1998 divorce filing, where her mother allegedly lists 22 November as the birth date. Owens calls it a thin document, just 'four statements of fact.'
Then there's the marriage dates, which twist like a bad plot. The petition says Erika's parents wed on 20 November 1995, smack on her supposed seventh birthday.
The separation agreement flips it to 7 November 1982. Owens leans in, wondering aloud if this points to deeper family secrets, like whispers that Erika's aunt might really be her mother.
For anyone not steeped in American conservative circles, Turning Point USA is the youth machine Charlie Kirk built, mobilising students for right-wing causes. Erika stepped in as CEO after Charlie's assassination in September 2025, a move Owens once slammed as a 'managerial error.'

Charlie, shot in the neck at a Utah Valley University event, left behind Erika, their daughter born in 2022, and their son born in 2024.
Owens spoke to old classmates and ex-boyfriends, who sounded baffled by Erika's current line that her dad was basically a ghost. Even if true, Owens counters, there was a stepfather in the picture.
Erika Kirk Faces Candace Owens' Widening Probe
This isn't fresh beef. Owens and Erika met privately late last year, and Owens called it 'extremely productive' on X, saying they shared intel and thawed tensions.
On February 26, Matt Walsh blasted Candace Owens as she came out with a new series Bride Of Charlie that targets Erika Kirk.

'I think we both feel it should have taken place a lot earlier than it did,' she posted, adding they agreed more than expected. But that goodwill evaporated fast.
Owens has been hammering conspiracy angles on Charlie's death since it happened, and her series keeps the pot boiling. Neither Erika nor Turning Point USA has hit back on these latest digs.
Sheriff's reports or FBI briefs? None here, just Owens' dive into public records and chats with folks from Erika's past. Take it with a grain of salt, since these claims hinge on her reading of old filings, and no one's confirmed the discrepancies beyond her spotlight.
The episode promises more 'personal experience,' and Owens delivers it with that signature mix of outrage and intrigue. She's not just questioning dates; she's probing the woman now steering one of conservatism's biggest outfits.
Classmates scratching their heads, divorce papers clashing, a widow recast as unreliable narrator. It's the kind of story that sticks because it feels too messy to be scripted.
Neither Erika Kirk nor Turning Point USA has publicly responded to the latest episode.
