Erika Kirk has hit back at cruel trolls who claimed she has a new boyfriend just eight months after her husband Charlie was murdered at his public event in front of hundreds of people.
False Allegations Spread Online
The mother-of-two, 37, took to X on Thursday afternoon after Project Constitution, a page that often pushes out far-right conspiracy theories typically related to Turning Point USA (TPUSA), launched a scathing attack. 'CONFIRMED: Erika Kirk Has A New BOYFRIEND — She Was SPOTTED Getting Handsy with New Jewish Boyfriend BLAKE WYNN (Nephew of Casino Mogul Steve Wynn) at Exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel,' Collin Scott Campbell, the Maryland man behind the page, said on X.
The post quickly sparked attention online, but Erika immediately set the record straight. '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,' she wrote.
Erika Kirk's Response
The page alleged that 'a trusted eyewitness' spotted Erika and Wynn at Bar Nineteen12, a ritzy lounge inside California's Beverly Hills Hotel, 'getting very intimate' with each other on May 14. But, according to Erika, she was nowhere near the bar that day. '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 said before blasting Campbell. '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,' Erika continued.
Blake Wynn Denies Rumors
Wynn, the founder of the Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) and the nephew of casino mogul Steve Wynn, also hit out at the rumor. '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,' he wrote on X after Erika responded. He then shared that post to his Instagram, stressing that the 'blatant lies' need to stop. 'WTF is wrong with people. This is an example though of a much larger problem we need to address as a country. If blatant lies can spread within minutes to huge amounts of people, how is anyone supposed to differentiate truth from lie,' Wynn wrote. He further stated that he, too, was not in Las Vegas on May 14 and that he's never been to The Beverly Hills Hotel, adding that Campbell's source 'must be Helen Keller.'
Background on Charlie Kirk's Murder
Erika and Charlie were married for four years and shared two children together. The conservative activist was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University for a TPUSA event on September 10, 2025. The suspected shooter, Tyler James Robinson, 22, was charged with the murder days later and remains in custody. On the day of his murder, Wynn penned a long tribute to his friend on Instagram. 'I don’t have any words, there are none. There has never been someone in my life I’ve been so proud to call a friend as you, and I really looked at you like a big brother - you constantly pushed me to be better, provided words of encouragement when I needed them most, and altered my perspective for the better,' he wrote alongside images of them. Nearly a month later, he joined Erika as she accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom on her husband's behalf. 'As Erika said, Tuesday was the “best birthday gift ever” for Charlie, and she’s 100% right, but as he would’ve said, “now it’s back to work!”,' Wynn said, referring to the medal being awarded on what would have been Charlie's 32nd birthday.
Legal Threats Against Campbell
This is just the latest battle Erika has had to fight involving Campbell and the comments he makes on his channel. In March, she sent a legal threat to Campbell, accusing him of defamation over claims he made alleging that she was involved in sex trafficking tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and that she was somehow involved in Charlie's assassination, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'Mrs. Kirk and TPUSA welcome vigorous and open debate and honest questions,' the legal letter, penned by Paul Edgard Harold of SouthBank Legal, said. 'However, there is no place for publicly repeating patently false statements that injure another person’s reputation.' Harold then explained that the accusations made about Erika have 'caused tremendous damage' to her and TPUSA, the non-profit she now runs. Following Charlie's death, Erika was appointed as chairwoman and CEO of the organization that her husband founded.
