"Owens, 35, was charged last year in Maricopa County, Arizona, with a total 14 felony counts including fraud, forgery, perjury, tampering with physical evidence, theft by extortion and taking the identity of another. The counts involve allegations related to Echard and to a second man, whom she also accused of getting her pregnant."
"Owens has pleaded not guilty and maintained in previous interviews and in a 2025 press release that she has proof she became pregnant by Echard but suffered a miscarriage. I intend to meet these accusations head-on and I will defend myself, fully and relentlessly, through every step of this process, her release said."
"The Owens v Echard case began in May 2023 when the two met in Scottsdale, Arizona. Owens and her parents moved there in in 2021, after her 80-year-old father retired from his decadeslong National Radio Hall of Fame career at KGO-810, where he was known as the Bay Area's voice of reason."
