TQL Stadium Drops Lucius Q After Co-Owner Cheered Charlie Kirk’s Killing

Lucius Q says Aaron Sharpe is no longer involved following his social-media comments.

Overview

  • FC Cincinnati and TQL Stadium said Thursday they terminated their vendor relationship with Lucius Q, citing expectations of respect and tolerance for partners.
  • Venue operators at Factory 52’s Gatherall said they are taking the matter very seriously and are reviewing legal options related to the restaurant’s presence.
  • Avril Bleh Meat Market, a longtime supplier, announced it severed its relationship with Lucius Q, stating it does not condone violence.
  • Lucius Q stated it has severed ties with co-owner Aaron Sharpe and later said he had been removed from involvement, while acknowledging the legal complexity of removing a minority owner.
  • The controversy began after Sharpe posted "Good riddance" and an insult about Charlie Kirk following the activist’s fatal campus shooting in Utah, an incident for which a 22-year-old suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson in reports, was arrested Friday.
