AI Summary
5 min readThe Most Sued Woman in American Media
Candace Owens has been sued so many times she's lost count. "Too many," she says. "I feel like the Daily Wire was like three episodes that happened, which felt like a lot. And then I have obviously the Brigitte one, which was a lot. And then I got pulled into the Blake Lively one." The process servers have become familiar faces. "They show up on motorcycles, like, 'We love you.' They're fantastic." The most recent lawsuit comes from Brian Harpal, the security contractor who was with Charlie Kirk when he was shot. Harpal is suing her for defamation after she called his team incompetent. "The first three pages of a lawsuit, he's just kind of calling me an anti-Semite," she says. "He then moves on by saying that I defamed him because I said that the security team was incompetent. So he's blaming me for a loss of revenue to his business because I said he's incompetent. I would generally say if you have a business and your job is to provide security and your client dies on the job, that might be the reason you're not getting many clients."
