In early November 2025, social media platforms erupted with false claims that country singer Carrie Underwood had accused Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, of profiting from her husband's tragic death.

Investigations later revealed that the alleged statement was entirely fake.
