Megyn Kelly has revealed Erika Kirk’s reaction to her late husband Charlie being ‘cursed’ by Etsy witches, days before his assassination.<\/p>\n

Conservative activist Kirk<\/a> was fatally shot while speaking at a university rally on 10 September.<\/p>\n

The killing has sent shockwaves throughout the US<\/a> and the world<\/a>, with suspect Tyler Robinson being charged in relation to Kirk’s death and facing the death penalty if convicted of the most serious charges.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Amid the fallout from the assassination, a very poorly-timed article<\/a> emerged that had been published just days before Kirk was killed<\/a> by the magazine ‘Jezebel’.<\/p>\n

Published on<\/a> 8 September, the piece was titled: “\u2018We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk”.<\/p>\n

The subheading read: “If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainise independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.”<\/p>\n

\"It's<\/div>\n

The writer talked about how they paid ‘witches’ on the online shop for a slew of ‘hexes’ against the right-wing influencer, including a \u2018MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM\u2019 spell, a \u2018POWERFUL HEX SPELL\u2019, and as per <\/a>Metro, another hex from a witch called \u2018Priestess Lilin\u2019 who reportedly sent a video of Kirk\u2019s picture being set on fire.<\/p>\n

However, they did make it clear that they didn’t do it with a real intention to \u2018cause him harm\u2019. They simply wanted him to \u2018wake up every morning with an inexplicable zit\u2019, or to have his podcast <\/a>microphone \u2018malfunction every time he hits record\u2019.<\/p>\n

Despite this, it’s safe to say the article didn’t age well, as Kirk died just two days later.<\/p>\n

And now, Megyn Kelly, who was friends<\/a> with Charlie and is close to Erika, has revealed that the couple actually saw the piece before Kirk was assassinated.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her SiriusXM radio show on Tuesday (23 September), the American journalist said: “This is what I want you all, and the people at Jezebel and Etsy, to know.<\/p>\n

\"Speaking<\/div>\n

Speaking on her radio show, Megyn Kelly has slammed the publication for the piece (John Nacion\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n

“Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses and that news genuinely rattled Erika, in particular. She knew Christian teaching on the subject, she loved Charlie, absolutely, and she was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ripping into the publication, she continued: “Why torture a family like this, a Christian believing family?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do this vile thing to a young couple, parents to two babies living in accordance with the gospel, deeply in love, and yes, political, but doing nothing other than speaking publicly about their views and their desires to make other people\u2019s lives better.”<\/p>\n

Kelly raged: “Who would do such a vile thing? Jezebel, that\u2019s who, and unbelievably, Etsy. And the people behind this evil should be called out.”<\/p>\n

Once the news of Kirk’s death broke, Jezebel wrote an editor’s note to the top of the article, writing: \u201cThis story was published on September 8. Jezebel condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms.<\/p>\n

\"Erika<\/div>\n

Erika was particularly worried about the ‘curse,’ according to Kelly (Michael S. Schwartz\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/div>\n

“We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in a statement to<\/a> Variety, Josh Jackson, the president of Paste Media Group, and the owner of Jezebel, said: \u201cThe article was a tongue-in-cheek exploration of people selling hexes on Etsy, and intended as a satirical response to Charlie Kirk\u2019s rhetoric over the years.<\/p>\n

“The writer was very clear that she didn\u2019t want real harm to come to Kirk. What happened today is tragic and becoming all too commonplace, and we condemn this awful act of violence.”<\/p>\n

Tyla has contacted Jezebel for further comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
