In the weeks after Charlie Kirk's death in September 2025, a wave of social media posts with varying degrees of accuracy targeted his widow, Erika Kirk.
Some posts spread baseless allegations about her personal and professional life, while others sought to connect her to political figures without evidence. A portion of the rumors used her husband's death to promote unfounded conspiracy theories.
For example, one story falsely alleged that U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett demanded a federal investigation into Erika Kirk for allegedly receiving a $350,000 payment before her husband's death. Another fabricated rumor claimed she recruited victims for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and had her husband killed to keep him quiet about her ties to Epstein. Other fictional stories claimed Erika Kirk launched a Christian dating app called "Faith & Fellowship" and that she sued ABC and "The View" for $40 million.
To set the record straight, we've compiled 13 rumors about Erika Kirk that Snopes has investigated.
