and allegedly sent her chocolates and birthday wishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some of the communications also reportedly included what appeared to be inappropriate jokes, whose meanings seemed to be understood only by Erika and the then-15-year-old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The messages were shared by an X account believed to be linked to the individual and appear to remain active at this time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Some Fans\u00a0 Accused The Mother Of Two Of &#8216;Grooming&#8217;

This isn&#8217;t normal behavior for a 25-year-old adult to talk to a 15-year-old child this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;This is inexplicable. It&#8217;s unjustifiable. It&#8217;s inexplicable,&#8221; another user said of Erika, adding, &#8220;She&#8217;s a grooming paedophile herself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some users, however, were divided over the messages, with some outright dismissing the grooming allegations, while others felt the messages were at least &#8220;inappropriate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I am not pro or anti- Erika Kirk. However, looking at the language and vulgarity in the exchanges, it was at the very least inappropriate. Especially since Erika was claiming to be a Christian,&#8221; a user said<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One more wrote, &#8220;It seems the only thing Erika did wrong in this situation was extend too much genuine, big sister kindness to a girl she didn&#8217;t realize at the time had an unhealthy, sexual obsession with her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Texts Were Described As &#8216;Absolutely Vile&#8217; By Candace Owens<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Amid the shock surrounding the messages, political commentator Candace Owens has also weighed in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In recent months, Owens has criticized Erika Kirk on several issues, ranging from her demeanor in media interviews to her motives following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The podcaster has also raised various conspiracy theories about his death, claiming he was once her friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a recent episode of her show, Owens described the alleged relationship between Erika and the minor as &#8220;absolutely vile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She then doubled down on her claim about X in response to a post from a netizen about Erika&#8217;s behavior toward the minor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Owens wrote, &#8220;It is TEXTBOOK grooming behavior. Not to mention, it is illegal in Michigan to photograph a minor without parental consent or presence. Yes, it requires an explanation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The TPUSA CEO Was Called Out After A Video Of An Audition Resurfaced<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Erika has continued to be in the news for all the wrong reasons and was also recently under fire after an old &#8220;Amazing Race&#8221; audition tape of hers was unearthed, showing her acting flirty with her then-boyfriend, J.T. Massey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You look really handsome,&#8221; Erika said to Massey while lowering the neckline of his V-cut shirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Babe, that&#8217;s deep in there. Give them the cleavage, people want cleavage, showcase it,&#8221; Massey responded, seemingly playing along with Erika&#8217;s intimate gesture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This prompted her to reply with laughter, &#8220;Sex sells, babe,&#8221; before whispering, &#8220;Even though it&#8217;s against our religion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The video quickly went viral, with many accusing the widow of being a &#8220;hypocrite&#8221; and having a &#8220;thirst&#8221; for fame<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Erika Kirk Was Recently Criticized For Featuring A Pastor With Child Trafficking Allegations In Her TPUSA Faith Tour<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Erika Kirk\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/evNxVzVRb073x5MryN7zjQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/1e8c974afd930e6b7e0ed574fa9e4abc\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>ZUMAPRESS.com \/ MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Recently, Erika also came under fire for her decision to feature Pastor Greg Laurie as a key speaker for the For Faith: &#8220;Make Heaven Crowded&#8221; tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Netizens who were displeased with the feature claimed that Erika&#8217;s nonprofit was now supporting individuals with a history of abuse, and that Laurie&#8217;s participation was not something Charlie would have wanted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Laurie is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, who has been named in a wave of lawsuits filed in U.S. federal court alleging child abuse and trafficking by former pastor Paul Havsgaard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The lawsuit alleged that church leaders, including Laurie, allowed Havsgaard to act without oversight and overlooked multiple warning signs of his alleged misconduct when he ran church-supported children&#8217;s homes in Romania from 1998 to 2008.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite the backlash, the widow skipped addressing the controversy, while Laurie and his church have since denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erika Kirk is once again facing controversy over alleged text messages between her and a 15-year-old dating back to 2014.
