Erika Kirk is facing a difficult period following the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, while also confronting false claims circulating online. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was killed during an event at Utah Valley University, leaving Erika to lead the organization as its new CEO and care for their two children. Tens of thousands attended a memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, to honor his life and work.
In the weeks following his passing, social media accounts began spreading allegations claiming Erika Kirk was involved in child trafficking through a charitable project in Romania. These claims specifically referenced her Romanian Angels initiative, part of her nonprofit organization, Everyday Heroes Like You. The initiative is focused on supporting children in Romanian orphanages by sending letters, gifts, and arranging visits from U.S. military volunteers.
