BREAKING NEWS!!!! Savannah Chrisley Reveals She Was Meant to Join Charlie Kirk’s Speaking Tour
In a shocking and deeply emotional turn of events, Savannah Chrisley, star of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, revealed the profound personal connection she had with conservative commentator
Charlie Kirk following his tragic shooting at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday, September 10. Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and the architect of
the “American Comeback Tour,” was fatally shot in the neck during a speaking engagement—a devastating incident that has left both the nation and those closest to him reeling.
Hours after the shocking news broke, Savannah took to social media to share her heartbreak, revealing that she was scheduled to join Kirk on his October speaking tour—a series of college campus events that she described as a transformative experience for her personally and professionally. “I am numb. I can’t believe I’m even writing these words,” Savannah posted on TikTok, her voice heavy with emotion. “Charlie Kirk changed my life…he brought me into the Turning Point family this past year, and I was supposed to be standing next to him at every college this October. Instead, I sit here with a broken heart, devastated beyond words.”
A Life-Changing Friendship
In the accompanying video, Savannah elaborated on the bond she developed with Kirk over the past two years. The connection began amid a personal crisis: the imprisonment of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted of bank and tax fraud in 2022 and sentenced to a combined 19 years in federal prison. Savannah credited Kirk with supporting her campaign to secure her parents’ freedom, an effort that culminated in their pardon by former President Donald Trump in May.
“Today’s been a tough day,” Savannah admitted, her voice quivering with emotion. “The past two and a half years of my life have been some of the hardest years I’ve ever had to endure, but in those two and a half years, I’ve met so many people—great people and lifelong friends—and one of those people who brought me into their world was Charlie Kirk.”
She spoke candidly about how Kirk empowered her, saying he “gave me a voice as a woman, made me feel like I had the power to show up in this world.” Savannah’s words underscored how much the mentorship meant to her, portraying Kirk not just as a political figure but as a personal guide who encouraged her growth during a period of immense family and personal stress.
Extending Condolences and Grief
Savannah also offered her heartfelt condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika Frantzve, and their two young children. “I’m truly grieving for his wife, Erika,” she shared. “One of the kindest, most loving human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.” The emotional weight of the tragedy was evident as Savannah reflected on the loss of a mentor, friend, and guiding force in her life.
