On May 1st, Brian Harpole, who used the head security for Charlie Kirk, just dropped a major lawsuit against Candace Owens. He's accusing her of defamation for pushing a wild conspiracy theory that tied him to Kirk's assassination back in September 2025 at a desk. Speaking event in Utah, Harpole says Owens and her crew spread total lies claiming he was part of some government plot to take Kirk out. The story started with Mitchell Snow, who told Owens he saw Harpole at a high-level military meeting in Arizona the day before the shooting, but Harpole's got travel records proving he was in Dallas, Texas at the time, making the whole thing impossible. Owens kept amplifying it on her podcast in social media, even after seeing the evidence. That false narrative blew up online, turning Harpole into a target for thousands of angry users, calling him a murderer, and demanding his arrest. This wrecked his reputation, cost him big business deals, and left him dealing with serious emotional stress.

Now Harpole's suing Owens, her companies, and Snow, for conspiracy to defame, hitting them with claims of reckless lies for clicks and cash. He's asking for over $75,000 in damages, plus punitive awards to make them pay. We'll have to watch how Owens responds in court, but this feud in conservative circles is just heating up. This has been entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Corey, with the story.
