Candace Owens Investigates Erika Kirk's Troubling Relationship with a 15-Year-Old Girl Named Jillian

Candace Owens examines disturbing evidence of a relationship between Erika Kirk, then 25, and a 15-year-old girl named Jillian that began in 2013. After Baron Coleman's viral episode on the topic, Owens reached out directly to Jillian, now 27, who confirmed the relationship was conducted almost entirely online and involved inappropriate comments about her appearance, gifts, and Erika arranging for a male photographer to take pictures of the teenager without parental consent. The investigation raises serious questions about grooming behavior and adds another layer to the mounting evidence surrounding Erika Kirk's background. Owens also addresses the missing wedding photo from Charlie Kirk's studio, the color-of-the-day military coordination theory, and the continued gaslighting from both Turning Point USA and the Trump administration regarding the Epstein files.

Investigating Erika Kirk's Relationship with a 15-Year-Old

Candace Owens opens her final show before taking a week off to prepare for her limited biographical series on Erika Kirk by addressing a viral episode from Baron Coleman regarding a seemingly inappropriate relationship Erika had with a then 15-year-old girl named Jillian. Despite Coleman's explicit instructions to his viewers not to reach out to Jillian, Owens admits she contacted her immediately to discuss the dynamic with Erika.

The relationship began in September 2013 when Erika Kirk, who was 25 years old at the time and had just completed her year as Miss Arizona, met Jillian Falcon. Jillian was at her friend's grandparents' home to collect rent payment when she encountered Erika, who was living there with her then-boyfriend, basketball player Joshua Harelson. Jillian, starstruck by the beautiful 25-year-old, exchanged numbers with Erika, and what followed was an increasingly uncomfortable online relationship.

The Evidence from Social Media

YouTuber NY first uncovered the story, followed by Baron Coleman, who compiled tweets and Instagram posts that documented the relationship between Erika and Jillian. The social media evidence reveals a pattern of behavior that many viewers found deeply troubling.

In February 2014, Erika sent Jillian a Valentine's Day message saying "This Valentine's Day, I am going to touch your butt." In March 2014, text message screenshots showed Erika telling the teenager "Let me call you, hold on, sweetheart. Give me a sex" followed by "Se sex too, but not from you, lol. You always make me laugh. I don't bat for the other team just yet."

For Jillian's 16th birthday in April 2014, Erika sent chocolate-covered strawberries with a card reading: "Happy sweet 16, beautiful girl. Keep strong in faith and know that you're loved. But most of all, never forget that you are perfect and amazing just the way you are. I am so proud of you. Today is the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip, boo. Love you, E."

In June 2014, Erika sent messages to Jillian saying "You have the most stunning features. Your eyes, your lips, your skin. You're absolutely beautiful." When Jillian posted photos from a family trip to Puerto Rico, Erika commented possessively when Jillian appeared with friends, writing "No new friends."

Candace Owens Speaks Directly with Jillian

Owens reached out to Jillian, now 27 years old, to get her perspective a decade removed from the situation. Jillian confirmed that aside from their initial meeting, she and Erika never spent time together in person. The entire relationship was conducted electronically through texts and social media.

As a 15-year-old, Jillian was "blown away" by the attention from a beautiful, semi-famous older woman. Owens draws a parallel to her own teenage obsession with Christina Aguilera, noting how susceptible young people are to manipulation by celebrities or people they admire. However, looking back as an adult, Jillian now finds the relationship "absolutely weird" and questions what Erika's intentions were.

Jillian noted several troubling details: her friend Cheyenne was also present when they first met Erika, but Erika never developed a relationship with her. Why was Jillian singled out? Additionally, Jillian's father was not in her life at the time, as evidenced by a June 2014 tweet where she wrote "I haven't seen my dad over two years." Owens points out that children without fathers in their lives are significantly more vulnerable to predatory behavior and manipulation.

The Photographer Incident

Perhaps most disturbing was Owens' revelation about what happened after Erika's compliments about Jillian's appearance. Erika arranged for Jillian to meet with a male photographer for a photo shoot, ostensibly to help the beautiful young girl potentially get into modeling. The text exchange where Erika told Jillian to "hydrate tonight. No alcohol and don't eat a lot of salty foods. You don't want to look bloated" was in preparation for this photo shoot.

Jillian told Owens that Erika arranged the entire thing, connecting her with this photographer who was a friend of Erika's. Jillian described the photographer as "kind of creepy" - shorter, chubbier, with a name she believes started with "R." Most importantly, Erika never spoke to Jillian's mother about any of this. The arrangement was made directly with the 15-year-old girl.

Owens emphasizes that any photographer taking photos of a 15-year-old without parental consent is a creep, and any person arranging for such photographs without explicit permission from the child's mother is equally creepy. Owens has put out a call for information to identify this photographer.

Pattern of Proximity to Trafficking

Owens notes that this incident fits into a disturbing pattern in Erika Kirk's biography of proximity to child trafficking scandals and charities involved with trafficking victims. In 2013, the same year she met Jillian, Erika claims to have gotten involved with a sex trafficking charity in China.

Owens points out other troubling connections: Turning Point USA's headquarters are located almost directly across the street from Arizona Mills, reportedly the number one human and child sex trafficking location in Arizona. Tyler Bowyer, a fifth-generation Arizonan who grew up in the area, selected this location. Erika's best friend Tracy Martin has been involved in charity work for trafficking victims via Dream City Church, which runs the Phoenix Dream Center that provides residential rehabilitation for trafficking victims.

Stacy Sheridan, who has been playing the role of Erika's mother, worked under Kenneth Starr at Pepperdine University at the exact same time Starr was working with Jeffrey Epstein. Erika's biological mother, Lori, was running a tech company called Desert Spirit on a Native American reservation known for high instances of child trafficking.

The Missing Wedding Photo Mystery

Owens addresses Turning Point USA's statement to Newsweek about the wedding photo that disappeared from Charlie Kirk's studio between his last show and Erika's appearance on Glenn Beck in December. The organization claimed that "Erika moved it to a lower shelf when her daughter asked to see it so that she could hold and look at the photo."

Owens thoroughly debunks this explanation, pointing out that it makes no sense to move a photo to ground level in a studio that isn't occupied by a toddler. If the child wanted the photo, a parent would simply let her take it to her room, not leave it on a lower shelf in a workspace.

Through investigative work by citizen journalists, Owens reveals that Mikey McCoy, Charlie's chief of staff, was giving interviews from Charlie's home studio as early as September 22nd (11 days after the assassination) and November 8th. In the November interview, the photo was already missing. Since Erika told Glenn Beck in December that she hadn't been in the office "in forever" and was seeing Charlie's desk notes for the first time, it's clear she didn't move the photo. Owens suggests that Mikey McCoy likely moved it while using Charlie's studio for his own media appearances.

Color of the Day Military Coordination Theory Confirmed

Owens revisits her observation about the unusual number of men wearing maroon shirts at Charlie Kirk's assassination, which many people initially dismissed as coincidence. A TikTok user discovered proof that the military does use "color of the day" coordination during secret operations in public areas.

Searching the Department of Justice files for the term "color of the day," the researcher found 40 results of different FBI briefings discussing colors of the day for various military operations. In every single case, the color was unredacted - except one. On the morning of Charlie Kirk's assassination, before his death, a color of the day was established for a situation report, but that specific color is redacted.

Owens notes she observed other organizational patterns beyond maroon shirts, including groups of men wearing white hats and unusual sock configurations, suggesting battalion-level organization designed to look like chaos while actually being highly coordinated.

The Epstein Files Gaslighting

Owens draws parallels between how Turning Point USA has gaslit people about Erika Kirk and how the Trump administration gaslit supporters about the Epstein files. She plays a clip of Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz detailing the entire timeline of broken promises and obstruction.

Key points include: Trump promised day-one transparency, gave influencers partial files claiming the full list was on his desk, then a memo said there was no list. Trump called the Epstein revelations a hoax and blamed Barack Obama. Republicans voted against releasing the files and refused to return to committee votes. Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to minimum security after saying something favorable about the president. The White House called passing the Massie discharge petition a "hostile act" and brought Republican members to the Situation Room to threaten them with primaries or withhold appropriations.

Kash Patel testified under oath that the FBI had no credible evidence Epstein trafficked girls to anyone but himself, which turned out to be false. Documents revealed a worldwide sex trafficking ring with girls from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, and Paris, and a relationship with a summer camp where he groomed girls. Ghislaine Maxwell says 29 Epstein associates cut secret DOJ deals. Patel also testified that Trump's name appears less than 100 times in the files, but it actually appears more times than God's name appears in the Bible or Harry Potter's name in all seven Harry Potter books.

Howard Lutnick, who visited Epstein's home in 2008 and saw a massage table in the living room, said he would never be in a room with Epstein again. Yet files show Lutnick and his family were on Epstein Island in 2012, after Epstein had already pleaded guilty to state charges.

When Moskowitz pressed Attorney General Pam Bondi on these issues, her only response was to shame him for "mocking the Bible" by making the comparison. When he persisted, Bondi changed the subject to talk about the Dow being over 50,000, the S&P at almost 7,000, and Americans' 401ks booming, as if economic indicators justify covering up child trafficking.

What Owens Is Looking For

Before signing off for a week to prepare her Erika Kirk biographical series, Owens puts out several specific requests for information to be sent to moretips@candace.com:

  • Who was the person Erika knew at the Batman Colorado mass shooting in the theater? Erika tweeted about knowing someone there.
  • Does anyone remember Erika France from Ohio? She supposedly lived there until high school, but no one has come forward from her elementary or middle school years in Cincinnati.
  • Does anyone remember Erika at Loyola Marymount University? Despite being mentioned in a program, not a single person has confirmed taking classes with her or socializing with her.
  • Information about Erika's whereabouts on September 8th, 9th, and 10th. Specifically, Turning Point employees were told she got the news with her mom and drove herself home, then went to the airport. But neighbors who knew Charlie, Erika, and the kids don't remember seeing her on the 10th.
  • The identity of the photographer (name possibly starting with "R") who took pictures of 15-year-old Jillian at Erika's arrangement.

Owens emphasizes that people should not reach out to Jillian directly, as she is already in communication with Owens' team and they are working together to uncover more information.

Final Thoughts

Owens concludes by noting that she "retired from politics the day they took out Charlie Kirk and lied to us about it." She encourages parents to pull their children out of schools controlled by what she describes as a dangerous cult-like military operation of psychopaths who have no conscience about harming children.

She ends with a humorous anecdote about Alex Clark allegedly demanding that Dylan call Paleo Valley, one of Candace's sponsors, and force them to choose between sponsoring Candace or Alex Clark after Candace criticized Alex for posing in boots at Charlie Kirk's memorial site for a photoshoot with a major publication.

Owens will be off air the following week to prepare her biographical series on Erika Kirk, with the working title "Fatal Attraction," returning on Monday the 23rd.
