Erika Kirk has put to rest rumors that she has a new boyfriend eight months after her husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed at age 31.
In a Thursday post on The account alleged that the couple was seen “hugging and kissing.”
However, Erika denied these claims in a Thursday statement on X. “Every word here is a lie,” she responded directly to the publication. “Charlie's love will last me a lifetime. The Lord is the only one who can fill that painful void.”
“On May 14, I was home in Arizona celebrating my son's second birthday. Blake (who is about to get engaged to his long-term girlfriend) was a dear friend of my husband and I am grateful for his continued support, as are hundreds of others.”
She continued: “Your deranged obsession with me and your blatant disregard for any form of truth is deeply disturbing and I pray that you get the help you so clearly need. Dust off the Dorito and go touch the grass.”
The controversial account X asked Erika to send “a photo with metadata from that day” or something showing where she was on May 14.

Charlie was shot and killed at age 31 during a TPUSA talk at Utah Valley University. He was the father of two children, a son and a daughter, with Erika.
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah resident accused of killing the MAGA commentator, has been charged with aggravated murder. He faces multiple charges in the case, including felony discharge of a firearm, witness tampering and commission of a violent crime in the presence of a child.
Robinson's preliminary hearing was recently moved from July 6 to July 10, due to the enormous volume of evidence still being reviewed in the high-profile death penalty case.
Erika has risen to prominence in Republican media circles since her husband's death last year. He took over Turning Point USA and continued to promote his message of conservative Christian views.
Earlier this month, she shared a tribute to Charlie on what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary. “When I stood at that altar with you, we made a pact with God. Two becoming one with the Lord Himself at the center of our vows, uniting under the eternal,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a montage of videos with Charlie. “I have always deeply understood the sanctity of marriage, we both did, but now that you are in heaven, God has intervened in the pain of your absence. He has not left me nor forsaken me.”
“While our children won't see our love 'growing old together' from an earthly point of view, they will see it from a heavenly point of view. And I will tell them our love story any time I can,” she continued.
