Candace Owens denies viral lesbian dating profile allegations

Candace Owens has denied viral allegations claiming she maintained secret lesbian dating profiles in 2007 and 2008. The claims, made on X by researcher Geoffrey Edevane (posting as Esoteric Shaggyism), suggested that Owens had created profiles oriented toward women and had been unfaithful to her husband, George Farmer.

Owens dismissed the allegations as “the most deranged” of the claims made against her, characterizing them as crass and pornographic. She stated that she had a boyfriend throughout her college years and clarified that a photo used as purported evidence was actually a family picture from a 2015 birthday dinner in New York City that had been photoshopped.

The allegations cited specific usernames and alleged connections to email addresses and Owens' time at the University of Rhode Island. However, no independent authentication of the profiles or account activity has been established, and there is currently no independent evidence proving Owens created or controlled the accounts.
