The dispute surrounding footage of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s final days has intensified after podcaster Candace Owens sharply criticized his widow, Erika Kirk, over the release of a private video showing Kirk with his children.
Owens, in an X post on Thursday, September 24, accused Erika of allowing footage of what she described as Charlie Kirk’s “final private moments” with his children to be shared with online commentator Andrew Wilson . Owens called the development “deeply disturbing” and described the decision as “psychotic.”
Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, and Tyler Robinson has been charged in connection with the killing.
She wrote that there was “no sane widow” who would agree to hand over private footage of her late husband with his children for online commentary and fundraising. Owens further alleged that the material was being used to “troll the internet,” while accusing Erika of publicly dishonoring her late husband. In her latest post, Owens argued that the release of private family footage raises questions about why such material was made public. The footage controversy should be separated from the established circumstances of Charlie Kirk’s death. The latest dispute, however, concerns privately recorded family footage and competing interpretations of what it demonstrates.
New Footage Emerges in Dispute Over Charlie Kirk’s Death
A dispute between Owens and Wilson has intensified, centering on footage related to the death of Charlie Kirk. Wilson has released previously unseen recordings that he claims were made prior to Kirk’s fatal shooting at Utah Valley University in September 2025. The footage reportedly depicts Kirk spending time at home with his children, with Wilson attributing the recording to Erika Kirk.
The subsequent investigation and court proceedings have generated extensive public debate over video evidence and the timeline surrounding the shooting.
