Erika Kirk has spoken out about headlines constantly “lying” about her in a recent podcast episode.\
The wife of the late far-right social media personality Charlie Kirk has criticised the media for their portrayal of her character, on Wednesday’s (April 29) episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.
In particular, Kirk has called out comedian and content creator Druski, real name Andrew Desbordes, after he wore white makeup and mocked her in a skit, posted online in March.
Druski faced intense backlash following the release of the video, which wasn’t his first in white makeup, as people questioned why he would make fun of a widow.
In contrast, others argued that it could be seen as the same as a white comedian being in blackface.
But Kirk has now addressed the viral video for the first time, as it has garnered over 300 million views across all social media platforms.

Speaking on The Charlie Kirk Show, the mother-of-two claimed: “Every morning I wake up to a new headline lying about me.
“I have comedians dressing up in whiteface. I have people saying I’m not fit to be CEO. And I have Candace Owens claiming I murdered my husband. And the list goes on and on and on.”
But she wasn’t done ranting there, as she went on to explain: “There is a serious epidemic of dehumanization plaguing this country.
“The most unthinkable tragedies have now become commonplace in our daily headlines.”
