Erin Napier, the co-host of HGTV’s Home Town, sparked backlash on Instagram this week after posting a cryptic message following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Hours after Kirk was shot and killed during a Utah Valley University event on September 10, Napier shared a dark message on her Instagram story, “Only the demonized celebrate death.”
Napier’s comment quickly divided fans, following reports of President Donald Trump “struggling” over the death.
“I am revolted by some of the comments in my DMs,” Napier wrote in a follow-up post.
She added, “Unfollow me, immediately, if you could be one of those comments. Christ, have mercy on us all.”
Napier replied, “You know nothing about why I am homeschooling my children, you sick goblin.”
The Express US has reached out to a representative for Napier for comment.
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a student-led debate in Utah.
Police say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested and charged with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice.
Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika, and two children, who are three and one.
