Fake News
Erika Kirk, Candace Owens, and the Most Public “Private Conversation” on the Internet
There is something about announcing a private conversation publicly that immediately sets off my conspiracy spidey sense.
On Sunday, Erika Kirk tweeted that she and Candace Owens would be meeting for a “private, in-person discussion,” adding that all public discourse would be paused until after the meeting. Which begs the obvious question: if it’s private, why announce it at all?
You don’t need a press release to stop tweeting. You can just… stop.
The whole thing has big “I’m leaving social media for a while” energy for BOTH parties (Turnin Point AND Candace). It’s the kind of post that exists solely to make sure everyone knows you’re leaving before you actually go. If the goal were truly de-escalation, silence would have done the job just fine. Instead, we got a teaser trailer.
And that’s what makes this feel less like conflict resolution and more like content strategy.
At this point, the entire saga has started to resemble a circus where everyone benefits from keeping the tent standing. Viral opponents are incredibly useful. They drive clicks, fundraising, loyalty, and attention. A public feud creates clear heroes and villains, and those dynamics are monetizable on both sides. Even a temporary “ceasefire” becomes part of the storyline.
I’m not saying it’s fake. I am saying it’s convenient.
The pause itself becomes news. The meeting becomes anticipation. The aftermath becomes the next chapter. Everyone gets oxygen, everyone gets engagement, and nobody actually has to resolve anything quietly.
Maybe the conversation will be productive. I genuinely hope it is. But when private conversations are announced like programming notes, skepticism is warranted.
Because when everything is this performative, it’s fair to ask: is anyone actually trying to end the drama—or are we all just being asked to stay tuned?
And yeah, maybe that’s cynical.
But in media, cynicism is usually just pattern recognition.
