As I told you before in this space, the dead podcaster had not filed for divorce from his wife.
It would be a public record.
HOWEVER, he did speak to a strictly only family law attorney about three weeks prior to his passing.

Candace Owens turns on Charlie Kirk’s widow in bitter public feud
A messy and very public feud has erupted between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and it is quickly turning ugly.
The tension started after Erika Kirk asked people to stop spreading speculation and conspiracy theories about her late husband’s death. She made it clear that the rumors were painful and unhelpful, and that she wanted privacy while continuing her work in the public eye.
Candace Owens did not take that request lightly.
On her podcast, Owens lashed out at Erika and accused her of hypocrisy, claiming that Erika wants privacy only when it suits her. Owens went as far as to label Erika’s behavior “Meghan Markle syndrome,” a phrase she used to describe people who, in her view, selectively demand privacy while still seeking public attention.
Owens also suggested that unanswered questions still surround Charlie Kirk’s death and implied that Erika’s push to shut down speculation was suspicious. Her comments shocked many listeners, especially given her long history with Charlie and her former closeness to his inner circle.
Erika Kirk, who has since stepped into a leadership role connected to her late husband’s organization, pushed back calmly. She emphasized that public figures are still entitled to boundaries, especially during grief, and warned that unchecked rumors can cause real harm.
The fallout has divided conservative media circles. Some are backing Owens, arguing that she has the right to question official narratives. Others are appalled, accusing her of attacking a grieving widow and turning a tragedy into a personal and political spectacle.
What makes the situation even more uncomfortable is how personal it has become. This is no longer just about disagreements or ideology. It is about loyalty, grief, control of a legacy, and who gets to speak for the dead.
And judging by how heated things have already become, this feud is far from over.
