It’s been four months since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at a Utah college.
During that time, his wife, Erika Kirk, has gone from being a virtual unknown to a household name.
To the surprise of many, the widow has embraced the spotlight in the months since her husband’s death, hosting rallies, granting countless interviews, and conducting what many have described as an endless press tour.
Most recently, Kirk posed with fans and fellow media figures at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl 2026 in Atlanta on Saturday.
The appearance — one of dozens Kirk has made in the past month alone — attracted criticism, even from social media users who initially supported her decision to lead a more public life.
“Another glitzy night out at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).
“Erika Kirk front and center, all smiles, celebrating. But… real talk: it’s been just 4 months since Charlie’s tragic death, and those little ones (toddler and preschool age) just lost their dad in the most horrific way.
Where are the kids in these constant outings?” the tweet continued (per the International Business Times).
“Bowl games, events, travel. Seems like they’re rarely (if ever) around. Are they okay? Who’s watching them while mom’s out cheering and networking?
Kirk’s children are just 1 and 3 years old, and many echoed the concern that Erika is off living a “lavish lifestyle” with her newfound fame, rather than being present for her kids.
Hundreds of commenters agreed with the initial tweet, with many accusing Erika of exploiting her husband’s death and neglecting her young children.
“This is so not normal behavior for someone that just lost her husband and the father of her children,” one commenter wrote.
“I haven’t seen Erika with her kids since Charlie died,” another added.
“It does seem like she’s abandoned them in the most traumatic & terrible time of their lives,” a third chimed in.
Kirk has maintained a near-constant schedule of travel and media events in the months since her husband’s passing, but she has yet to remark on concerns about how her children might be coping with the sudden absence of both parents.
The press tour will likely continue for at least several more weeks, as Erika is currently promoting Charlie’s book Stop, In The Name of God: Why Honoring The Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, which was released posthumously last month.

A heartbreaking TikTok shared by a mother named Adriana (@aud.beauty) has captured widespread attention after sharing a letter her 13-year-old daughter had written and addressed to Megan Moroney before tragically taking her own life.
In the emotional video, Adriana explained that she lost her daughter, Aria, to suicide on Tuesday, January 6, 2026. After sharing that news with tears in her eyes, she went on to explain that before her daughter passed, she wrote a few letters, including one directly addressed to the country star.
With this being her daughter’s final wish, the mother read the note on social media in hopes of it reaching Moroney.
She began, “Dear Meg, this might not ever get to you, but I’m a huge fan. My name is Aria Aleen Renea Burroughs. I was born October 18th, 2012. I’m 13 years old. On January 5th, 2026, I decided to take my own life. I wrote this letter in advance just in case I don’t get the chance to thank you.”
The young girl goes on to tell the “Beautiful Things” singer how impactful her music was and how it helped her through so many hard times. She even reveals she had plans to attend Moroney’s show in Kansas City, MO later this year.
@aud.beauty I’ll do anything to get this letter to @Megan Moroney #meganmoroneyrever13 #ariaburroughs ♬ original sound – 🤎🍁🪽.
“You are so pretty and funny. I got tickets to your Cloud 9 concert on August 16th, 2026. I was so excited to see you, but who knows? Maybe I’ll get unlimited shows now,” Adriana read with tears welling up in her eyes, before sharing her daughter’s final words. “I love you so much, Megan. Thank you. Bless your heart, Aria.”
The gut-wrenching video has since racked up nearly 50k views and sparked hundreds of users to reach out to Megan Moroney in hopes of the message reaching her. Luckily, their efforts were successful as Adriana reveals in her latest post.
This time, she posted a screenshot of the message Moroney sent her privately alongside a photo of her daughter, dressed in pink with angel wings and climbing a ladder, inspired by the dreamy pink image on Moroney’s Cloud 9 album art.
The country star began by expressing sympathy for the grieving mother as she wrote, “Hi It’s Megan I don’t have the words to express how sorry I am for the loss of your sweet Aria. Your video was absolutely heartbreaking & I can’t imagine the pain you’re experiencing.”
She goes on to note that she attempted to send flowers to the funeral but the deadline had passed, and asked if there was another address where she could send them, as long as it was something that Adriana was open to receiving the gift.
“Please know you, Aria and your family are in my heart and in my prayers. Sending you all my love.”
Megan Moroney concluded with a quote from Psalms 34:18.
“The lord is close to the heartbroken; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
Adriana accompanied the post with an emotional caption thanking Moroney for helping make her daughter’s final wish come true.
“Thank you, Megan Moroney for reaching out,” she wrote. “My girls one final wish came true and I cant thank you all enough for the help. My light, My angel. I love you, Aria.”
The family requested that everyone attending Aria’s funeral wear pink, according to Miles Funeral Service.
In the midst of unimaginable loss, Adriana’s story serves as a reminder of the power music can have on someone.

Please keep the Earle family in your thoughts.
After revealing that her mother had been in the hospital, TikToker Alix disclosed her mother’s diagnosis.
It’s cancer.
The diagnosis came during Alix’s Dancing With The Stars season. Even so, her mother showed up every week to support her.
Alisa has breast cancer
On Sunday, January 11, Alix took to her Instagram page to reveal her mother’s diagnosis.
The TikTok influencer and recent Dancing With The Stars competitor revealed that her mother, Alisa, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the video that Alix shared, she and her sister, Ashtin, are in the hospital, visiting their mother.
They’re clearly providing her with moral support. They’re sharing ice cream, doing her hair, and simply holding her hand.
The words “F!ck Cancer” appear across the video clip.
Alix’s video also includes a voiceover.
“Strong women never give up,” the voice says.
The voiceover continues: “We might need a coffee, we might need a good cry, we might need a day in bed but we will always come back stronger.”
Additionally, she penned a caption.
“Go momma! So proud and inspired by you,” Alix expressed. “No challenge you can’t face and come back stronger .. I love you! #breastcancerawareness.”
Timing can be so cruel
Though she did not win, Alix was a fixture on Season 34 of Dancing With The Stars last year. In fact, she was the runner-up!
As it turns out, Alisa received her cancer diagnosis while her famous daughter was filming.
Alix detailed that she found out mid-season — but that it did not prevent her mother from showering her with in-person support.
“We found out [about] halfway through the season and she still showed up every week,” Alix wrote.
Many doctors might advise someone with cancer to do just that. Unlike some ailments (like heart disease), some cancers respond very well to attitude and optimism. (We know that it sounds fake, but the scientific studies on it are very real)
@alixearle Also loved running into you guys across the different places I was in ☺️
We did know that Alisa had been in the hospital.
Alix shared as much on January 7, sharing that her mom had undergone an unspecified operation.
“Back home in Jersey, my mom is in the hospital for her operation right now, so I’m going to go see her,” she shared at the time after flying to four different countries in two days.
“I may or may not talk more about this this week,” she cautioned at the time.
Alix continued: “I just want to see how everything goes and, first of all, just be there for her.”
‘We are gonna be taking care of her’
“It’s also something that, during my travels, I had a few cries,” Alix admitted at the time.
“But her boyfriend and my sister have been with her this morning,” she shared.
“So, we’re gonna pick her up tomorrow morning from the hospital,” Alix revealed, “because we are gonna be taking care of her.”
Now, she has shared her mother’s diagnosis, ending the speculation.
We of course wish Alisa a full and speedy recovery.
