"He and I were supposed to…”: Candace Owens explains how Russell Brand became part of her love story

Candace Owens Russell Brand connection resurfaced this week as the conservative commentator moved to correct a narrative that had taken on a life of its own online. What began as a personal clarification quickly became part of a wider digital feud, blending politics, podcasts, and conspiracy claims into one unexpected love story timeline.Owens addressed the issue directly on X, pushing back against claims made by Nick Fuentes about how she met her husband, George Farmer. While Russell Brand did not formally introduce the couple, Owens explained that his role was still meaningful in a very human way. Timing, coincidence, and one long podcast recording changed everything.

Candace Owens-Russell Brand story explained amid online feud

Owens laid out the moment clearly, explaining why Brand remains part of her relationship history.

"I told the truth here: I was running late to dinner with George because I was up doing Russell Brand's podcast," Owens continued. "Russell Brand was a leftie back then. George did not meet him then and did not know him otherwise."

She later revisited the story on her own podcast, framing it like a romantic comedy shaped by miscommunication and chance. "It was his Under the Skin podcast," recalled Owens, noting the interview ran far longer than planned.

"It ended up being three hours of filming. And you had a friend, Paul Joseph Watson, who was a mutual friend, but I had never met him."Owens explained she believed the meeting was casual. "He and I were supposed to meet up to finally meet off of the internet just to say hi to each other," she said. "And he never told me that he had actually organised an entire dinner for me and Charlie Kirk with about 30 people."That misunderstanding led to a memorable entrance. "So I arrive three hours late.

My assistant informs me that there are a bunch of people waiting for me. I get out of Russell Brand's house and I was very apologetic when I arrived three hours late because I like to be punctual. And I sat next to you," Owens added.The clarification comes amid broader claims involving Fuentes and Alex Jones, including conspiracy theories about intelligence ties. Owens has repeatedly denied those accusations, stressing that her relationship began through overlapping political circles and chance encounters, not shadowy plots. In her telling, Russell Brand’s role was simple but decisive. He made her late, and that delay changed her life.Also Read: Candace Owens draws concern after report highlights surge in anti-Israel rhetoric
