Against a nature-themed backdrop, Katie shared a post which read, “We do not celebrate death. But we also do not mourn monsters. Those two things can and do coexist.” The post continued, “The absence of mourning does not imply the presence of celebration.” In her Instagram Story, she also shared a graphic that pointed out that there have been “at least 100 shootings at schools in 2025.”
Recently, comments made by Charlie a couple of weeks before his death about Taylor Swift are in the spotlight. Charlie criticized Taylor on his show on the Real America’s Voice network. Plus, he had some advice for the newly-engaged singer. “Submit to your husband, Taylor.” He added, “You’re not in charge.”
As a rising member of the Republican Party, the activist reportedly had a net worth of $12 million this year. He worked with the POTUS on his campaigns since he was 18 years old.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” the President wrote on Truth Social at the time of his friend’s passing.
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
