Erika Kirk’s ‘Summer House’ Appearance Resurfaces Following Charlie …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As you’ve likely heard by now, conservative pundit Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement last week.

Though Kirk has been a wildly popular figure in rightwing media for several years, his death has brought a new level of international attention to his life and beliefs.

Kirk’s wife, Erika Kirk, has become an overnight celebrity of sorts, with many praising the young widow for the grace with which she’s handled her sudden loss.

Erika has gained millions of followers in the days since her husband was murdered, and many have praised her first statement to the public.

The surge in interest in Erika’s career has led to the surprising discovery that she once appeared on a popular Bravo reality show.

Erika Kirk’s ‘Summer House’ cameo nearly led to a full-time role on the show

As The Hollywood Reporter points out, Erika appeared in an episode from the third season of Bravo’s Summer House.

She’s shown going on a date with former Summer House cast member Jordan Verroi.

Carl Radke, a friend of both Jordan and Erika, set up the date, explaining to the camera that Erika is “beautiful” and “happens to be religious,” qualities that he thought would make her a perfect match for Jordan.

Jordan was smitten, revealing in a confessional that he liked Erika’s “beautiful blonde hair, her smile, her radiance,” and noted that she had “outward beauty and inner beauty.”

The relationship proved to be short-lived, however, and Erika explained in a 2019 Instagram post that she turned down an offer to become a full-time cast member on the show.

What’s next for Erika Kirk?

These days, Erika works as a ministry leader and podcast host.

She announced earlier this week that she intends to dedicate herself to her husband’s Turning Point USA organization in order to carry on his legacy.

“The movement my husband built will not die — I refuse to let that happen,” she said.

Perhaps for his family’s protection, Charlie typically kept his professional and private lives separate, but he and Erika often sang one another’s praises on social media.

“5 years ago today, we sat inside Bills Burgers in NYC deep in conversation and banter over theology, philosophy and politics and at the end, you paused, looked at me and said, ‘I’m going to date you,’” she wrote in 2023 to mark the anniversary of their first meeting.

“Dating with intention to marry is way different than dating to ‘see where it goes.’ Let God write your love story,” she concluded.

Our thoughts go out to Erika and her two children during this enormously difficult time.
