Eileen Davidson, a former star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, made a controversial Instagram post about Charlie Kirk after his assassination. She wrote, "I am not in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk was in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk," which appeared to criticize Kirk's past comments on gun rights, where he implied some gun-related deaths are a necessary cost to protect the Second Amendment. Following the backlash, Davidson clarified on X (formerly Twitter) that she would "never ever in one million years... celebrate the assassination of anybody," but she also maintained, "I stand by my post, sweetie," which kept the controversy alive. Many people criticized her for what was seen as mocking the tragic event, while others supported her sharp political critique. The remarks sparked extensive debate about free speech, political polarization, and the appropriateness of public statements after violence.
In addition, Davidson was accused of calling Charlie Kirk “racist” and doubling down on posts blaming him for the assassination, which intensified reactions among fans and critics.
