Erika Kirk and Candace Owens met in person on Monday, days after Charlie Kirk\u2019s widow appeared at a CBS town hall and publicly urged Owens to stop promoting conspiracy theories about her late husband\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n

Both Kirk and Owens confirmed Monday evening that the meeting took place, describing the conversation as productive in separate posts on X.<\/p>\n

Neither woman shared specific details from the discussion, but Owens said the meeting lasted four and a half hours and resulted in more agreement than she expected.<\/p>\n

Kirk wrote on X on Sunday that she and Owens would hold a private, in person meeting on Monday.<\/p>\n

She added that they agreed public discussions, livestreams, and tweets would be paused until after the meeting concluded.<\/p>\n

Kirk said she was looking forward to a productive discussion.<\/p>\n

Owens also wrote on X that she was very much looking forward to the conversation.<\/p>\n

The meeting followed a CBS News town hall that aired Saturday, during which Kirk spoke with CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss.<\/p>\n

Weiss asked Kirk what she would want to say to Owens, who has been amplifying conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all I have to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owens was previously a close friend of Charlie Kirk and a former employee of his conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA.<\/p>\n

She has compared their relationship to that of a brother and sister.<\/p>\n

The day after his assassination, Owens posted a lengthy video saying she wanted him to be remembered for his career and ideas.<\/p>\n

In the months that followed, Owens promoted conspiracy theories about his murder and made fraud allegations regarding the finances of Turning Point, which Erika Kirk now oversees.<\/p>\n
