Erika Kirk has taken to social media to shut down suggestions that she has moved on from her late husband, Charlie.
The late podcaster died aged 31 after being shot on the left side of the neck while speaking at a Turning Point USA event held at Utah Valley University.
Charlie was a popular conservative figure on social media, while also being a close ally of Donald Trump's.
An audience of 3,000 people witnessed his gruesome death on September 10, 2025, when a single shot was fired at around 12:20PM local time.
Since his passing, his wife Erika Kirk has taken over the Turning Point USA organization, and she has hosted a number of events since.
As for her relationship status, it isn't the first time that the public is suggesting the mom-of-two is moving on.
The 37-year-old, who isn't shy in sharing her thoughts online, has hit back at claims suggesting that she has a new boyfriend, nearly nine months after the death of her husband.
She has openly accused online conspiracy theorist Collin Scott Campbell of spreading misinformation, as he claimed she was seen getting "very intimate" with Blake Wynn, a Casino heir and online personality, at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Campbell made the claims in a video on X on Thursday (May 28), claiming that Kirk and Wynn shared a smooch and hug at the hotel's Bar 1912, adding that they had allegedly gone shopping.
He criticized the Turning Point USA CEO for moving on so quickly, which resulted in Kirk responding to his video.
She wrote on X: "Every single word here is a lie. Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime. The Lord is the only one who can ever fill that most painful void.
"On May 14th I was home in Arizona celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday. Blake (who is about to be engaged to his longtime gf) was a dear friend of my husband’s and I am grateful for his continued support, just like hundreds of others."
She added: "Your deranged obsession with me and blatant disregard for any form of truth whatsoever is deeply disturbing and I am praying you get the help you so clearly need.
"Brush off the Dorito dust and go touch grass."
Kirk and Campbell have feuded in the past, as the latter has posted several theories about her following Charlie's passing.
Kirk's legal team sent Campbell a cease-and-desist letter in March.
The latter was accused of making “false and defamatory statements” that she was part of her husband's assassination and linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
It further claimed that his allegations caused “tremendous damage” to both Kirk and Turning Point USA.
Wynn also responded to Campbell's allegations, writing on X: “Blake Wynn here… I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the cesspool of bots and X users that spend their entire day making things up under the guise of journalism, but I am not dating Erika Kirk.”
Campbell replied and asked where he was on May 14, seemingly open to the fact that a witness had misidentified him as the apparent mystery man.
The internet personality hit back: “Where you stand is you have a tag team of Helen Keller & AI-generated audio as your source,
“I feel bad for anyone that follows your garbage.”
