RHOBH Star's 'Assassination' Remark Sparks Firestorm Online
EILEEN DAVIDSON STIRS CONTROVERSY WITH SHOCKING POST ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION
The drama continues! Eileen Davidson, the 66-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum and soap opera star, has sparked outrage online after sharing a scathing post about conservative political activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting. The incident occurred just days ago on the campus of Utah Valley University, leaving many in shock.
Davidson, known for her strong opinions and unapologetic views, took to Instagram to share a message that read: "I am not in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk was in support of what happened to Charlie Kirk." The cryptic post has been interpreted by many as a twisted way of saying that Kirk's own extreme views on gun rights contributed to his demise.
The post, which has since been deleted, quickly went viral on Reddit with over 59,000 upvotes and 786 comments. Many critics slammed Davidson for what they saw as insensitive and tasteless, accusing her of mocking the tragic event.
But Davidson is not one to back down from a fight! In response to the backlash, she attempted to clarify her position in an Instagram story. "Never ever in one million years would I celebrate the assassination of anybody, ever," she wrote. However, when faced with accusations of trying to backtrack, she defiantly stood by her original post.
"I stand by my post, sweetie," Davidson replied to a critic who accused her of attempting to make a "profound political point" at Kirk's expense. When another user called her out for being insipid, she shot back with a snarky comment: "Don't be insipid."
But not everyone was outraged by Davidson's post. Some of her followers defended her, claiming that her words were being taken out of context and twisted to fit a false narrative.
"People know your heart," one supporter wrote. "We live in a climate today where words get twisted, hell, even made up sometimes. Mostly to paint a false portrait or take things way out of context to fit a villain narrative."
Davidson's post controversy comes on the heels of Kirk's death, which has sparked a national debate about political violence and gun rights in America.
The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was shot dead last week during the first stop of his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University. The tragedy has left many reeling, including Davidson, who has been vocal about her disdain for Kirk's ideology on social media.
In recent days, Davidson has shared clips of some of Kirk's most polarizing debates and past remarks, including one instance where he claimed that abortion is "worse than the Holocaust." She also reposted a quote that read: "A nation who mourns deeper for a dead right-wing hate merchant than it does for dead school children is a nation who has lost her soul."
Another repost declared: "A MAGA shot another MAGA and the MAGAs are mad at the Democrats. Make it make sense." The quotes have sparked outrage among Kirk's supporters, with many accusing Davidson of trying to stir up controversy.
The 22-year-old left-wing Utah man who was arrested for shooting Kirk dead, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with murder in connection with the incident.
Davidson, an outspoken Democrat and a two-time Daytime Emmy Award winner for her roles on Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless, is no stranger to controversy. With her sharp tongue and unapologetic views, she's made a name for herself as a firecracker in the entertainment industry.
