“Back to her maiden name”: Internet erupts over Erika Kirk’s “missing” posts as Candace Owens dispute intensifies

Speculation erupted across social media this week after a viral screenshot suggested Erika Kirk had wiped her Facebook presence. The rumor gained traction when podcast host Baron Coleman reshared an image of a page under the name “Erika Frantzve” displaying the message “no posts available,” adding the caption: “she’s gone dark.” Within hours, users began linking the alleged disappearance to the lingering controversy surrounding the 2025 death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Social media frenzy grows over Erika Kirk profile amid Candace Owens clash

The chatter intensified because the screenshot circulated alongside commentary implying the change was long overdue. One widely shared post read, “LOL. Only took her 5 months.” The timing fueled fresh debate, especially as tensions continue between Erika Kirk and conservative commentator Candace Owens. Yet despite the online frenzy, no verified reporting confirms that Kirk deleted posts or altered her account due to the ongoing feud.

Much of the confusion stems from the name attached to the screenshot. “Erika Frantzve” is understood to be Kirk’s maiden name, prompting users to question whether the page in question was official, inactive, or even related to her.

Several commenters pushed back against the viral claim. One user wrote, “So we’re just lying now,” while sharing an image of Kirk’s verified Facebook page that still displayed posts featuring Charlie Kirk. Others voiced confusion rather than certainty. “Why can people leave reviews on people? Are they customers or what?” one user asked. Another wrote, “I’m a little confused. Is she back to her maiden name?” A separate commenter speculated about her marriage, stating, “She has shown that it evidently was not a good marriage.”

Experts note that a “no posts available” message can result from privacy settings, inactive profiles, or duplicate accounts rather than deliberate deletion. Without confirmation, the circulating screenshots remain inconclusive.
The renewed speculation arrives amid a widening rift between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens following Charlie Kirk’s death. Owens has publicly advanced theories about the circumstances surrounding his passing and questioned leadership within Turning Point USA, though she has not provided verifiable evidence. She has also made remarks about Kirk’s marriage and personal life.

As the debate spills across platforms, the episode highlights how quickly partial screenshots can spark sweeping conclusions. For now, the truth behind the alleged deleted posts remains unverified, even as the online feud continues to draw attention.
