Overview

• Kelly said Erika and Charlie Kirk asked a friend, whom she believed was a Catholic priest, to pray with them the night before the shooting.
• The Jezebel piece, published on September 8, described paying Etsy practitioners to “curse” Kirk and presented the effort in a humorous tone.
• Internet Archive snapshots show the story originally carried Claire Guinan’s byline before it was replaced with a generic “Jezebel” credit.
• Following the killing, the site added a note condemning the shooting and later redirected the article’s link to its homepage.
• Kelly called the article “vile,” urged Jezebel and Etsy to apologize, and encouraged listeners to contact both companies, while officials have not cited any link between the story and the homicide.
