According to The Daily Beast, the viral post came from The Constitution Project, an X account reportedly run by conspiracy theorist Colin Scott Campbell. The post claims that Erika Kirk has “moved on” and was seen with Blake Wayne, the nephew of casino businessman Steve Wayne.The account said an eyewitness saw the two together at a Beverly Hills hotel on May 14 and claimed they were acting like a couple. It also questioned Erika Kirk’s public persona and suggested she was feigning sadness in private.Matt Walsh harshly criticized the claims. In a post on X, he wrote:“This ridiculous slob has been harassing Erica for months with one feeble-minded, defamatory lie after another. He should be sued into oblivion, but the problem is that he is almost certainly broke and has no dignity or moral character to speak of, so he actually has nothing to lose by continuing this insane campaign.”Walsh has previously defended Erica Kirk. Last month, she became emotional following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and he also spoke out against those who mocked her online.Shortly after the rumors broke, Erika Kirk responded directly to X, denying all parts of the story.“Every word here is a lie. Charlie’s love will be with me for the rest of my life. The Lord is the only one who can fill my most painful void.”She said she was celebrating her son’s second birthday at home in Arizona on May 14. Erica Kirk also pointed out that she shared a birthday wish for her son on Instagram that day.She added that Blake Wayne was a close friend of her late husband and continues to support her family. Wynn is also preparing to get engaged to his longtime girlfriend, according to her statement.Blake Wayne later issued his own response, writing:“I hate to break bad news to bots and X users who spend their days making things up under the guise of news, but I will not date Erica Kirk.”As of now, there is no evidence to support the accusations, and both people named in the rumors have publicly denied the claims.
