Amber Rose defends Charlie Kirk’s widow.
During a recent appearance Start live broadcast Alongside Sneako on Thursday, the 42-year-old model came to Erika Kirk’s defense against those who criticized her response to Charlie’s death.
“Yeah, so they talk about that too,” Rose said. “Everybody grieves differently, and I tell people it feels like it’s her job to kind of keep him alive by doing everything he does. I don’t know. I don’t know. I can’t tell someone how to grieve, you know what I mean?”
Charlie, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. He and Erika had two children.

AMBER ROSE CONDEMNS ARIANA GRANDE FOR TELLING AMERICANS TO SKIP WORK TO PROTEST ICE: ‘SHUT UP’
Following the assassination, Erika became the new CEO and chairman of the board of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and made public appearances at various events.
“This woman should be kicked to the curb,” liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch said on her “I Did It” podcast about Erika. “She is a total fraud, just like Donald Trump and just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband.”
Elsewhere in the livestream, Rose responded to Ariana Grande’s support of the anti-US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest, urging Americans to skip work, school and shopping.
Grande posted an Instagram story on Friday encouraging her followers to stay home from work or school in honor of the protest, writing: “ICE is out! Nationwide shutdown! No work. No school. No shopping. January 30, 2026.”

“Ariana Grande… I think she’s worth, I don’t know, $250-$300 million, telling people not to go to work, protesting ICE. Like, ‘Girl, shut up,'” Rose said.
He continued: “You want to give your money to these people? stay home from work? “Stop telling people to do that… I think anyone who tells people not to go to work, not go to school, not buy things for their families, and that they’re worth $250-$300 million should shut up.”
Rose famously supported President Donald Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign, even speaking at the Republican National Convention.
He told audiences at the convention that he had decided to “put on the red hat” and “put aside” his fear of being “misunderstood” or “attacked by the left.”
He later told Maxim in a January 2025 interview that he was “cancelled” during the election.

“Unfortunately, the ‘woke’ left is canceling people for having a different ideology,” he told Maxim. “Fortunately for me, I don’t care, and no matter what my beliefs are, I will always stay 10 fingers down until the wheels fall off. I used to be on the left and thought I was doing the right thing. That’s why it’s so important to have open conversations.”

“There is no objective truth on the left. It’s just about emotions,” he added.
