Candace Owens Facing $20M Defamation Lawsuit Filed By conservative Kimberly Klacik
Conservative political commentator Candace Owens, is facing a defamation lawsuit. According to The Baltimore Sun, a former Maryland congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik has filed a lawsuit against Owens for $20 million. This comes after Owens posted on her Instagram account that claimed that Klacik committed campaign fraud, money laundering, illegally used drugs and was a “Madame” of strip club.
Klacik was a Pro-Trump Republican ran against and lost to Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume to represent the Maryland district that was once held by the late Elijah Cummings
“Baseless character assassination has no place in political dialogue‚” Klacik’s attorney, Jacob Frenkel, said in a written statement. “The defendant chose to use her huge social media platform to attack a respected Baltimore political figure; we are using the proper forum — the power of the courts — to respond. The detail in Ms. Klacik’s lawsuit speaks for itself.”
Owens has since responded to the lawsuit via social media:
LOLLL 😂😂
Kimberly Klacik is a former stripper fraud who has me blocked on EVERY social media account since I exposed her shady FEC filings. She launched an obviously frivolous lawsuit (read it) about me calling her a “madame” to distract/avoid questions about her FEC filings. https://t.co/ahYecEfNp4— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) August 25, 2021
