In this deep dive, we explore the full story of Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and current CEO/Chairwoman of Turning Point USA (as of 2025). From her early days as Miss Arizona USA (competing in Donald Trump's Miss USA pageant) to founding the nonprofit "Everyday Heroes Like You" and its "Romanian Angels" program in Constanța, Romania (2011–2015), we break down the facts.After Charlie Kirk's tragic death in September 2025, viral rumors exploded online claiming Erika was "banned from Romania" due to trafficking links tied to her charity work with U.S. military personnel (including thanks to Col. Otto Busher III, later mentioned in a 2019 whistleblower report). We also cover her family connections (father Kent Frantzve's defense consulting, mother's tech firms with government ties), pro-Israel links, and more. Is this political smear or something deeper? Watch to decide for yourself. Is Erika who she claims to be?This is shocking, and necessary, episode for anyone interested in what is happening with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) since Charlie’s death.Check out my self paced courses: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/storeDonate to our farm animal rescue: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ashleybrianaeveCheck out the new merch: https://ashleybrianaeve-shop.fourthwall.com/en-cad/collections/allInstagram for more content & behind the scenes stories: https://www.instagram.com/ashleybrianaeve/#erikakirk #charliekirk #turningpointusa #popculture #candaceowens

This episode isn’t about “mom drama.” It’s about how influence is built, protected, or destroyed in real time.I break down the growing drama around Ashley Tisdale’s toxic mommy group and why the group’s PR response is a masterclass in what not to do.Then I contrast it with Mel Robbins, whose brand continues to stay remarkably insulated from criticism — even amid controversy — thanks to disciplined narrative control, audience conditioning, and strategic credibility stacking.This isn't just pop culture tea but a branding psychology + PR strategy breakdown for anyone building a public-facing brand in 2026 and beyond.🎉 Please like, share, comment, & "HYPE" videos that give you the option!
