In a surprising move, Christine Quinn, famed for her role on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset,” directed a controversial remark at Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, the 37-year-old Dallas native took to Twitter to criticize Erika, posting, “Erika Kirk be everywhere but with her kids.” This provocative comment surfaced just three months after Charlie was tragically shot at a university event in Utah.
Quinn’s tweet quickly ignited a wave of strong reactions, especially as Erika Kirk was featured on Fox News that same day amidst a public dispute with former ally Candace Owens. While the Daily Mail has sought comments from representatives of both Quinn and Kirk, Owens has stirred controversy by insinuating that individuals within Charlie’s political organization, Turning Point USA, may have been involved in his murder, though she did not directly mention Erika.
During her Fox News appearance, Erika Kirk addressed these allegations without specifically naming Owens, stating, “Come after me, call me names, I don’t care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever.” Erika further claimed that staff at TPUSA had received threats due to these accusations, expressing her frustration, “When you go after the people that I love and you’re making hundreds of thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this? No.”
Quinn also acknowledged one comment from a user who said that Erika’s stream of media appearances undermined one of her late husband’s key political planks regarding American families. The user said that ‘Charlie told women to stay at home and raise kids and his wife be doing the complete opposite,’ to which Quinn said in reply, ‘This.’ Some people appeared to think Quinn had a point as Erika has been in the limelight the past three months. Said one user of Erika: ‘Her words never line up with her actions and everyone feels it.’
One said, ‘Mourning her husband. She’s on a world tour instead.’ One user said of Erika: ‘She is THE happiest widow.’ Another said of the one-time beauty queen, ‘And at least 5 wardrobe, hair and makeup changes in 6 hours smdh.’ Others defended Erika and said the reality star was misguided in her statements. ‘She takes her children to work with her,’ one user said. ‘Now mind your own damn business and stop being so hateful you damn troll. Said another: ‘A woman should be with her children 24/7/365 and not be allowed to work? How awfully progressive of you.’ One user shot back at the Selling Sunset alum: ‘Christine Quinn be everywhere but Netflix.’
