Candace Owens, a former colleague of Charlie Kirk, has been accused of using her platform to gain attention and financial gain for fame and money. Her latest venture, "Bride of Charlie: An Investigative Series" is a multipart "expose" on Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, who she alleges is a fraud and a liar. The series, which includes claims that Kirk lied about being raised by a single mom and birthdate is listed inaccurately in her parents' divorce papers, has 2.7 million views and nearly 6 million subscribers on YouTube and 6.4 million followers on Instagram. Owens has been criticized for publishing such a series, but her popularity is a warning to conservatives. Critics, including conservative commentator Meghan McCain, have criticized Owens' use of this platform to attack Kirk's grieving process.
