Charlie Kirk’s widow woman, Erika Kirk, is face of the earth trolled after she took the stage at her husband’s memorial service to music and pyrotechnics. The flashy display at an event meant for mourning became a topic of intense online debate, with many criticizing Erika for her entrance, and the organizers for the fireworks.
Thousands of people showed up at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to pay tribute to the slain Turning Point USA founder. Among the speakers were Erika, Donald Trump, JD Vance and more.

An X user shared a video of Erika walking up to the stage as fireworks went off, writing, “Why are there fireworks at the "memorial service" for Charlie Kirk? This is a WWE script…”
In the comment section, many slammed Erika. “So you mourn your husband by coming out to pyro?” one user wrote, while another said, “It’s a political rally framed as a fake memorial service”. “I thought this was strange as well,” wrote a user.
Many X users, however, pointed out that the fireworks were used as it was a “celebration of life” and because Kirk loved them. Some noted that the sparklers were a signature Turning Point USA thing, something Kirk wanted at Turning Point USA’s outdoor events.
Following the backlash, Kirk spokesman Andrew Kolvet explained why the fireworks were used. Responding to the criticism, Kolvet, who served as executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, wrote on X, “Because our staff loves the effect. They see it as one of our event signatures. And most importantly, Charlie loved it. We do not grieve the way the world grieves. We refuse to let the evil that killed Charlie rob us of our joy in remembering his incredible life and legacy.”
