Erika Kirk's birth date has unexpectedly become a subject of public debate after a close friend of her late husband resurfaced a little-known detail about her family history.
The TPUSA CEO's birthday is officially listed as November 20, 1988, but Candace Owens claimed it was actually November 22, 1988, based on divorce filings from Erika's parents that she says she obtained.
The allegation was made in Owens' documentary series, "Bride of Charlie," where the podcaster also shared additional claims accusing Erika Kirk of dishonesty and even questioned the mother of two's maternity.
Why Erika Kirk's Birthday And Maternity Have Come Under Scrutiny

During the Wednesday, February 25, episode of Candace Owens' documentary series, "Bride Of Charlie," the podcaster dug into several aspects of Erika's childhood to point out several discrepancies she claimed to have noticed.
One of Owens' most notable claims was that the mother of two had misrepresented her birthday. She cited divorce filings between Erika's parents, Kent and Lori Frantzve, as the basis for her allegation.
Per the alleged 1998 divorce documents excerpts Owens presented, Erika's birth date is listed as November 22, 1988, a detail that conflicts with Erika's public claim that she was born on November 20, 1988.
Owens also advanced another conspiracy theory regarding Erika's maternity, suggesting that the TPUSA CEO's aunt, Karla, could be her biological mother.
The claim was based on what Owens described as inconsistencies she uncovered while examining Erika's family tree, which once again contradicts Erika's stance that Kent and Lori are her parents.
The Podcaster Also Pointed Out Other Discrepancies In The Widow's Childhood, Particularly About Her Parents

Additional claims raised by Owens focused on the wedding date of Erika's parents. In the divorce petition, their marriage was listed as having taken place on November 20, 1995, a date that would have coincided with Erika's seventh birthday.
However, a separation agreement attached to the same filing gave a different date for the marriage as November 7, 1982.
Owens also took issue with Erika's claim that her father, Kent, became an absentee parent after his split from Lori.
According to the podcaster, her research suggests that Kent remained actively involved in raising Erika. She added that this was corroborated by several individuals who knew the former beauty queen.
"I have spoken to classmates, past boyfriends, and people are generally bewildered about why Erika is now representing that she does not have a relationship with Kent," Owens stated, per Us Weekly. "Also, if we remove Kent, Erika was raised with her stepfather [Larry] in her home."
Candace Owens Labeled Erika Kirk A Compulsive Liar

Through the documentary, Owens attempts to prove that Erika is a compulsive liar who shouldn't be trusted on whatever she says.
"I will tell you my personal opinion and experience with her," Owens said in the doc. "What alarms me about Erika isn't so much the fact that she lies, which we will prove to you over and over again, but it's also the fact that I don't know that she's aware that she's lying."
Owens took a further swipe at the mother of two, saying, "The version [Erika is] telling us today or yesterday was just recently downloaded into her mind, and she therefore thinks it's true."
"[It's] like a faulty memory or something," the podcaster further remarked. "I'm saying I'm not sure that she's fully aware that she's lying because some of the lies are so stupid."
Candace Owens Has Been Critical Of Erika Kirk For Months

Since the death of Charlie Kirk, Owens has been highly critical of Erika, and the documentary suggests the podcaster has no intention of simmering down anytime soon.
Owens had previously leaked an audio recording of the TPUSA CEO, in which Erika was heard speaking cheerfully to staff after an event and making remarks that appeared to trivialize Charlie's death.
Owens was also critical of Erika's seemingly inappropriate relationship with a then-15-year-old female in 2014.
Erika had allegedly sent the minor messages that included flirtatious language, such as calling the girl "sweetheart," along with other over-the-top compliments about her physical features. Some of the messages also contained what appeared to be inappropriate jokes, the meaning of which seemed to be understood only by Erika and the minor.
Owens condemned the texts as "absolutely vile," adding that they amounted to "textbook grooming."

Prior to Owens' recent discoveries, Erika was the subject of scrutiny after eagle-eyed individuals noticed changes in her late husband's office, which she seemingly now occupies.
Previously shared footage from the room featured a wedding photo of Erika and Charlie, which was placed on the bookshelf.
However, a recent screenshot went viral showing the new TPUSA CEO in the same room, with the wedding photo no longer in its usual position.
Critics also pointed out that Erika didn't have her wedding ring on when she made the video from which the screenshot was taken.
This drew backlash from fans of the late right-wing influencer; however, a TPUSA spokesperson swiftly cleared the air, noting that the image had been moved to a different position in the office so the couple's daughter could reach it amd look at it.
"Erika moved it to a lower shelf when her daughter asked to see it so she could hold and look at the photo," the spokesperson told Newsweek. "It's still on the studio shelf, just lower down where her daughter can look at it whenever she's in there with her mom."
