Candace Owens has not been shy about her disdain for Erika Kirk over the past year.
After months of personal attacks and accusations, Charlie Kirk's widow has reportedly had enough, according to those closest to her, RadarOnline.com can report.
Candace Owens Has Repeatedly Attacked Erika Kirk
Candace Owens has repeatedly accused Erika Kirk of trying to cash in on Charlie's death.
Owens was once one of Charlie's most loyal allies and supporters of his Turning Point USA organization. However, after his brutal assassination, the conservative podcaster has launched her own war, alleging that Charlie's murder was part of a larger conspiracy involving CIA operations and even supernatural forces.
The podcaster, 37, has been especially critical of Erika, also 37, accusing her of trying to capitalize on Charlie's death in her scathing eight-episode YouTube investigative series, The Bride of Charlie.
"Erika desperately wanted to be famous," Owens blasted on her show. "No one can deny that."
Erika Kirk 'Can't Stand' Candace Owens
Erika has lashed out, exposing her 'hatred' of Candace.
"Erika can't stand [Candace]. a Kirk family member told the Daily Mail. "Erika is really offended that Candace would use her husband's death to make a buck, to get attention, get clout, whatever it is. She's offended."
The unnamed relative said Erika tries to keep her emotions about Candace to herself, but sometimes she'll slip.
"She says she's not going to give that woman an ounce of her energy. But sometimes she just can't help herself, and she'll sort of explode with a tirade," they said. "At least with her political opponents, she knew where she stood. They didn't exactly betray her like Candace did. Candace did her so dirty."
Candace Owens Claps Back
Erika and Candace met for peace talks in 2025.
Never at a loss for words herself, Owens has already fired back at Erika's exposed feelings – calling them mutual.
"We're furious too," Owens said in a statement. "The public cannot stand that Erika refuses to answer or even ask crucial questions surrounding Charlie's death, which she has treated more like her personal coronation rather than an increasingly bizarre story that requires a network of paid influencers to support it."
It appeared for a brief moment the two would be able to put aside their differences and make peace. The pair met for a private meeting toward the end of 2025, which Owens called "extremely productive" at the time.
"I think we both feel it should have taken place a lot earlier than it did," she claimed in a post on X. "We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent."

The two want nothing to do with each other anymore.
Owens said the "immediate result was that tensions were thawed," but after non-stop attacks, the relationship could be ice-cold for good.
"That bridge is burned," the family member said. "It's more than burned. It's been blown up. There's no reason for Erika to ever speak to Candace again. Ever."
The relative also said Erika accuses Owens of trying to make a "quick buck" off of Charlie's death.
"Candace decided to make this her identity. It's a grab for attention, building her name and her brand, and making some money off it," they said. "That's what Erika thinks."
