Candace Owens BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Candace Owens has ignited controversy, headlines, and outrage over the past several days, punctuating an already stormy career with some of her boldest, most divisive moves yet. According to NBC News, Owens is facing a defamation lawsuit from French First Lady Brigitte Macron after Owens pushed widely discredited claims on her platforms that Macron was born male, compelling the French president’s wife to declare she will submit scientific and photographic proof to court to refute the allegations. Owens’ legal team recently filed a motion to dismiss, and media on both sides of the Atlantic are watching the case for broader implications regarding online misinformation and transphobic rumors.

In American conservative circles, Owens is again at the epicenter of turmoil after the shocking assassination of activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. As reported by Bored Panda, Owens claimed to have obtained and released an “exclusive” photo allegedly showing suspect Tyler Robinson casually eating at a Dairy Queen just 15 minutes away within hours of the crime. She insisted this image raises “problematic” questions, fueling online speculation that authorities might have the wrong suspect and hinting at conspiracies involving the FBI. Kirk’s family, friends, and former colleagues have responded emotionally, condemning Owens for leaping to public accusations and conspiracy talk in the immediate aftermath of the murder, a stance echoed by outlets like Fox 13 Utah and numerous commentators on X. Notably, Owens and Kirk were once close, both having deep ties to Turning Point USA, adding even more intensity to the ruptured support within the movement.

Meanwhile, according to The Arab American News, Owens has driven another wedge within conservative and right-wing politics with her increasingly forceful criticism of Israel, calling it a “cult nation” and standing vocally in support of Palestinians. Her willingness to openly empathize with Palestinian victims and connect their plight to Muslim suffering in post-9/11 America has brought her both praise and condemnation. Critics see her break with pro-Israel orthodoxy as a betrayal, but supporters hail her as driven by unshakable moral conviction. Her statements have generated a wave of online debate, elevated by appearances on platforms like The Real Network and amplified across Twitter and TikTok.

This past week is likely to be regarded as a pivotal chapter for Owens: from lawsuits that could redefine influencer accountability, to her disruptive role in conservative politics, to her open defiance of established pro-Israel narratives. In every domain, she demonstrates an unyielding willingness to risk reputation, alliances, and—potentially—her legacy to air opinions that challenge, polarize, and, for her supporters, galvanize. Whether these episodes prove clarifying or ruinous for Owens in the long run, her name is, once again, on the tip of everyone’s tongue and at the center of multiple global headlines.
