In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking and sudden assassination, reactions have poured in from across the internet, but none have sparked more controversy than those from Bravo star Katie Maloney.
Just hours after news broke that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had been murdered, Maloney took to Instagram to share her thoughts, and she didn’t hold back. Rather than offering condolences or silence, Maloney posted a photo of Kirk and his family to her Instagram story with a bold caption:
“We do not celebrate death, but we also do not mourn monsters. These two things can and do coexist. The absence of mourning does not imply the presence of celebration.”
This post, originally highlighted by the TikTok account @TheSabrinaKosmas, quickly began circulating online, drawing both criticism and applause. But Maloney wasn’t finished. She soon reposted a video to her story in which a woman claimed that Charlie Kirk “deserved what happened.”
If anyone thought this might be a heat-of-the-moment reaction, Maloney’s post the following morning made it clear she was doubling down. She shared a quote that read:
“You look happier!”
“Thanks, I’m evil again.”
Followed by a chipper, “Good Morning!!!!!”
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, had long been figure in American politics. But his sudden death sent shockwaves through the media and political spheres. Still, the kind of response from a public figure like Maloney raises serious questions about the tone of political discourse, and whether there’s a line between critique and cruelty.
@thesabrinakosmas Katie from VPR’d horrendous posts about Charlie Kirk… Christians & conservatives need to stop supporting her business and following her. #charliekirk #katiemaloney #vpr #bravotv #vanderpumprules ? original sound – thesabrinakosmas
As the country processes the implications of Kirk’s assassination, the online reaction continues to evolve, and Katie Maloney has made it clear where she stands.

Covid hoaxpandemic when the Demons in power ordered their followers to sit home and eat for two fcking years. He is credited with helping Trump allegedly win the "youth vote" which then put an even bigger target on his back. CK never lost his cool, even with the most crazed brainwashed loons, instead chose to debate with them respectfully.
