Candace Owen's family reached out to me earlier this morning, it is with deep sadness and sorrow that I am sharing the passing of my long time friend and fellow political commentator, Candace.
“Candace Owen's family reached out to me earlier this morning, it is with deep sadness and sorrow that I am sharing the passing of my long time friend and fellow political commentator, Candace. But I also can't shake the feeling that this wasn't simply a random tragedy. There are circumstances surrounding Candace's death, especially after Charlie's passing, that raise serious questions, and I hope the full truth comes to light. I want to respect her family's privacy so I will refrain from sharing any further details. Please stay posted," the alleged post read. While the post does not exist on X now, many shared screenshots claiming it had been deleted by Gaddis.
“So... why did @thelillygaddis post this and delete it?,” one asked. Yet another wondered “That’s not odd at all. Where’s Candace Owens?,” sharing a screenshot of the alleged post.
Yet another remarked “Wait what! Was she preparing for something!? @baroncoleman can you check on Candace please!”. One person also asked if Owens had cleared up the matter.
The podcaster did not directly address the alleged post claiming she's died. The 37-year-old has been rather quiet on the Elon Musk-owned platform today, as well.
Owens has four posts from today, of which two are reshares. The reshares were made about 12-14 hours back. The posts were made about six hours back.
In one post, she was fighting with Turning Point USA's Blake Neff and wrote “Absolutely no one believes this, Blake. …Outside of the people who have sold their souls to Israel.” Another post was a reply to a clip of Tucker Carlson, and the person who shared the video had written “Charlie Kirk was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism. Obviously. Those of us who knew him best and called him a friend believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.”
Notably, Owens' posts came a few hours after Gaddis' allegedly deleted post on her death. There is no official or family confirmation about her demise. Owens' next episode for her podcast – Candace – is set to release on Monday. Episodes drop Monday through Friday, so the far-right podcaster won't be putting anything out over the weekend.
Despite the claims online, there's nothing to indicate for now that Candace Owens has died. The podcaster gained even more attention in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination in September 2025, at the Utah Valley University. Owens' a former TPUSA member and Kirk's friend, came out with several conspiracy theories in the wake of his assassination, including blaming Israel and Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk – but she never provided any proof to back these claims.
