Erika Kirk came under renewed fire on Wednesday, 20 May, after commentator Candace Owens claimed during a live-streamed podcast that Charlie Kirk had a scheduled appointment to update his will just days after he was assassinated in Utah in September 2025.

Owens alleged that the late Turning Point USA founder and his wife, Erika Kirk, were due to sign 'updated end-of-life documents' on 15 September, and suggested that the timing raised questions about the widow's role and potential motives.

For context, Charlie Kirk, a high-profile MAGA activist and head of conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck and killed while speaking at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in September 2025. Prosecutors have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who, according to authorities, admitted an ideological hatred of Kirk and acted alone.

The FBI and local law enforcement have consistently described the case as straightforward, saying they have found no indication of an internal plot, financial motive, or wider conspiracy involving Kirk's family or associates.

Owens, who has turned her public rift with Erika Kirk into a running storyline for her audience, folded the will allegation into a broader suggestion that 'something isn't adding up' around Charlie's death.

She told viewers that, in the weeks after the assassination, Erika had supposedly told 'people' that she and Charlie had an appointment on 15 September to sign refreshed end-of-life documents, including changes to his will.

It is so sad that it appears that Charlie had no real friends in his circle

Owens positioned the detail as a counterweight to aDaily Mailreport thatCharlie had publicly named Erika as his organisational successormonths earlier, during an Aspen donor retreat. According to that report, he told donors that Erika would take over if anything happened to him. After the shooting, she did in fact step into the CEO role at TPUSA, a move thatcritics like Owens now frame as evidence that Erika 'wanted his position.'
