AceShowbiz - Candace Owens and Andrew Wilson are set to face off in a live debate this Friday over the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the tension is already boiling over.

On the latest episode of her show CANDACE, Owens pulled back the curtain on the drama surrounding the highly anticipated showdown, which has escalated from a $300,000 challenge to a staggering $500,000 wager.

The debate was sparked after Owens appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, where the comments section erupted with jokes mocking what she calls the "fed slop" narrative surrounding Kirk's death. One commenter quipped, "I stopped pouring concrete over a crime scene to watch this," prompting Wilson to issue the initial challenge. Owens quickly raised the stakes, and now both sides are locked in.

"We are trying to figure this out," Owens said on her podcast, acknowledging the logistical hurdles still being ironed out.

One major snag came when Michael Knowles declined the offer to moderate the debate. "As I knew he would," Owens remarked, though she hinted that another moderator is already on deck.

But the real fireworks have come from a personal stipulation Owens imposed: Wilson cannot smoke cigarettes on air in her home studio because she is pregnant. According to Owens, the request sent Wilson's wife, Rachel Wilson, into a tailspin.

"She seems unwell," Owens said, pointing to Wilson's posts on X. "What is the logical leap there? I'm going to #MeToo a man because I won't let him smoke cigarettes? ... This is so trashy I can't comprehend it."

The drama extends beyond the debate itself. The story surrounding the leaked pro-Erika Kirk group chat continues to grow, with an X account called NoSoup4Knowles—known for supporting The Daily Wire—being exposed as a member of the chat. Owens identified the person behind the account as a woman named Britta Widner.

"My assumption was she was young," Owens said. "She gets revealed as this Britta Widner. She's been attacking my family, my husband. ... She got a DUI last year. A tragic DUI photo. I can't believe this woman is almost 45 years old ... cat woman, childless. This woman is not well."

Owens didn't stop there, comparing Widner unfavorably to Laura Loomer. "This woman makes Laura Loomer look stable," she continued. "This woman sent 4,040 tweets about me since Charlie Kirk's death."

A former member of the pro-Erika Kirk chat also spoke to Owens, expressing concern that the group had become increasingly obsessive. "She's worried that someone is going to get hurt," Owens revealed. "We just learned about a top conservative corporation, who have top people at the company, who are involved in this group chat. This is the beginning. Not the end."

The debate, which centers on the assassination of Kirk and the subsequent conspiracy theories, has become a flashpoint in conservative media. Owens has been vocal in pushing back against what she describes as a coordinated narrative, while Wilson has positioned himself as a challenger to her claims.

As Friday approaches, all eyes are on Owens and Wilson to see if they can finalize the terms—and whether the no-smoking rule will hold. With the leaked chat drama unfolding and a potential corporate connection emerging, the debate promises to be anything but ordinary.
