Erika Kirk has never backed down, even after losing her husband, Charlie Kirk, who was murdered nearly two months ago. She has been visible at various public outings and just gave her first interview, but some felt she was being coached.​

Erika Kirk Was Coached For Jesse Watters' Interview?

Nadia Asencio, a US Army veteran, author, and modern success coach, weighed in on Erika Kirk's interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters on her YouTube channel Nadia4Real. Nadia examined Erika's gestures and statements and noticed something — the widow sounded as if she were being coached.

During the interview, Nadia noticed Erika speaking about Charlie in the present tense.

'She kept saying things like "We have the same values, meaning her and Charlie. We have the same this, we have the same that,' Nadia explains. Due to her statement, Nadia feels that 'she's been coached.'

According to Nadia, Erika is aware that her husband 'is gone,' so she should have spoken about them in the past tense. 'She knows that it would have been to say like "Oh, Charlie and I always had,"' Nadia continues.

Due to Erika's statements, Nadia was convinced that she was coached because 'this is what people who grieve do because they forget that person is no longer there.' She added that she could be wrong before doubling down on her initial take, 'I don't think so.'​

Erika Has Been Accused Of Being 'Coached' For Several Reasons

Erika Kirk has attracted all sorts of criticism for her appearance, fashion, mannerisms, and interactions with men, including Vice President JD Vance and Jesse Watters. However, the worse was probably the allegation that she didn't love her husband.

One said she 'either never loved Charlie Kirk or she was heavily coached by GOP PR teams' after deciding to forgive Tyler James, the 22-year-old from Washington County who was charged with aggravated murder for Charlie's death. The X user added that there was no way they would forgive someone who killed the love of their life and the father of their two kids, like what Erika did.

A different user claimed Erika was 'coached very carefully not to specifically say his name.' They added that 'Tyler didn't Kirk, Erika's compatriots did.'​

One X user agreed to Lila Rose's call that Erika 'deserves our prayers and support' following the attacks on the widow. The social media user, however, believed that the blows were due to Erika 'not grieving conventionally,' which some couldn't understand, and that's probably because of how she was taught.

'I think she's young, she's being coached & doesn't realize some of the optics don't look like a grieving widow,' the X user explained.

Erika Kirk Accused Of Being Inappropriate With Men

Aside from the speculations that Erika Kirk has been coached, Charlie Kirk's widow has been subjected to various criticisms. When she introduced Vice President JD Vance at a TPUSA event and they hugged, the encounter went viral immediately.

Although both were criticized, the critics were more unforgiving of Erika.

'JD Vance isn't the problem here, Erika is' one X user said, adding that 'she's been inappropriate with multiple men now.' The social media user also shared a photo of Erika leaning on Jesse Watters' shoulder with one arm on his side.

Whether Erika is being coached or not, one thing is certain: Charlie Kirk's widow keeps on attracting backlash for the smallest thing she does or doesn't do.
