Rumors are circulating online that Erika Kirk has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the comedian Druski after his viral skit mocking conservative white women, which has been widely considered to be about the Turning Point USA CEO.
In a post to X on March 25, the comedian, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, shared a skit with the caption, “How Conservative Women in America Act.”
In the skit, Druski wears full prosthetics to portray a woman widely considered to be Turning Point USA CEO and the widow of Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk.
The skit quickly went massively viral and as of press time has amassed more than 100 million views as of press time. In tandem with the virality, though, was backlash as people criticized Druski’s portrayal of Erika Kirk and argued the skit was insensitive. Charlie Kirk was assassinated six months ago, in September of 2025, while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.
In the midst of the discourse, the claim that Erika Kirk was pursuing legal action emerged online.
Newsweek has contacted Turning Point USA for comment via email.
The Claim
The claim circulated on X when the writer and journalist Zellie Imani shared in a now-deleted post that Erika Kirk had sent a cease and desist letter and was “gearing up to sue him.”
That post included a screenshot from an account that appeared to be Druski, with the account stating that he had received a cease and desist letter.
The post was viewed nearly 1 million times before it was deleted. And despite the fact that it was deleted, screenshots have continued to circulate online.
As that claim has continued to circulate, so has the discourse about a potential lawsuit. One social media user wrote in a post viewed over 30,000 times on X, “Should Erika Kirk Sue Druski?”
The Facts
The claim is false.
A representative for Druski confirmed to Newsweek that the claim is false.
In an email, the representative said, “Any claim that a cease and desist was issued to Druski is absolutely false.”
There was never any evidence that Erika Kirk had filed a lawsuit against Druski, and despite what the screenshot of the post on X appears to show, no accounts belonging to or affiliated with Druski had ever posted about potential legal action.
The Ruling
False.
Erika Kirk had not sent Druski a cease-and-desist letter. A representative for Druski confirmed to Newsweek that these reports are false.
