Overview
- Kelly said the couple asked a friend she believed was a Catholic priest to pray over Charlie the night before he was killed.
- Jezebel ran the Sept. 8 story titled "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk," which described petty hexes and explicitly disclaimed any wish for physical harm.
- Following the Sept. 10 shooting, Jezebel removed the article, posted a note condemning the killing, and later characterized the piece as humor.
- Kelly urged Jezebel and Etsy to apologize to Erika Kirk and called for Jezebel to identify the writer; archived versions initially listed Claire Guinan before the byline was changed to "Jezebel."
- Investigators continue their probe into the assassination and have not cited any evidence connecting the Jezebel article to the crime.
