Brian Harpole vs Candance Owens Lawsuit Explained: Why Podcaster Has Been Sued Over Charlie Kirk Assassination

Kirk was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson has been charged with murder in the case. Harpole’s lawsuit states that Owens and other conspiracy theorists pushed narratives suggesting Kirk was betrayed by people close to him, that Turning Point USA was involved, and that the government helped cover it up. He claims these false accusations have damaged his reputation, caused him to lose major security clients, and led to intense online harassment.
