Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Candace Owens has dominated the headlines in recent days as she grieves the shocking assassination of conservative activist and her close friend, Charlie Kirk. On September 11, 2025, Owens broke down on a YouTube livestream, describing Kirk as her “best friend and brother,” and vowing to keep his legacy alive. She spoke openly about the violence of his killing during an event at Utah Valley University—a moment that has left her emotionally devastated and deeply shaken. This tribute drew massive online attention, briefly crashing the livestream as hundreds of thousands tuned in for Owens’ raw, heartfelt eulogy, where she emphasized she wants people to remember Kirk for his work and spirit, not the brutality of his final moments. She reminisced about their early bond over a shared commitment to conservative ideals, his infectious ambition, and even his often misguided fashion sense, noting that their partnership was “forged in fire.” Owens revealed that Kirk had shielded her from efforts to oust her during the #MeToo controversies and that they fiercely supported each other's careers through intense scrutiny and criticism. According to her posts on X, she found it almost impossible to process Kirk’s loss, and her urgent calls for prayers for his family went viral as the news of the assassination sent shockwaves through the media and political landscapes. As social media filled with demands for increased security for Owens, speculation has risen that she could be the next target, though law enforcement has not confirmed any credible threats.
Business activities and upcoming public appearances for Owens are currently on hold or unconfirmed, as she has made clear her focus is on honoring Kirk’s memory rather than returning to her normal schedule. Social media, especially X and Instagram, has been flooded with tributes to Kirk and expressions of concern for Owens’ safety, with viral clips of her emotional response circulating widely across Threads, TikTok, and YouTube.
Amid this, critics on platforms such as YouTube have revived older controversies about Owens’ shifting positions and associations with conspiracy theories and criticized her rhetoric relating to Israel, Jews, and Muslims, echoing previous accusations of opportunism and inconsistency. Despite this, none of these criticisms have drawn as much public attention as her emotional response to Kirk’s death. For now, her central place in the news is as the heartbroken public mourner of Charlie Kirk—a role that, for many, overshadows all else during this period of profound personal and professional loss.
