Kirk was fatally shot while attending an event at the Utah Valley University in September 2025. While authorities have arrested and are trying Tyler Robinson for the murder, Owens has had numerous theories in the wake of Kirk's assassination. Among the many questions Owens has raised, some have been about Erika Kirk's movements and interactions ahead of Kirk's shooting.

After Erika Kirk's statement, there were claims on X that Owens had retracted her claims about the TPUSA CEO. However, the firebrand influencer has shut down these rumors, which prompted a response from Loomer.

Laura Loomer issues chilling warning to Candace Owens

Owens defiantly wrote on X “I have not retracted a single claim I have made about Erika Kirk. Stop with the b.s Twitter trends. I stand by every single statement I have made and have not edited any of my past statements in light of Brian Harpole’s lawsuit. I look forward to the power of subpoena.”

She was referring to the lawsuit brought forth by Kirk's former bodyguard, Brian Harpole. He used to be in charge of Kirk's security and is suing Owens over claims she made allegedly tying him to the assassination.

Loomer responded to this, saying “You’re going to be sued so hard. I can’t wait.”

Notably, Loomer and Owens have long been at odds, and it has only become more enhanced as the latter publicly criticized some of President Trump's actions. Owens was vocally critical of the war in Iran, prompting responses from the president himself, where he berated her and other such influencers including Tucker Carlson, on Truth Social. Loomer, for her part, has steadfastly stood by Trump's every decision.

In recent times, Loomer has gone after Owens' husband George Farmer, questioning an alleged accident he was in, and asking whether he should be deported. Loomer went so far as to share an alleged mugshot of Farmer, even as Owens has tried to downplay the entire incident as a fender bender of no consequence.

Meanwhile, all this talk of lawsuits has put Owens' net worth into focus. Her net worth is estimated to be around $5 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
