Vivian Kubrick, the daughter of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, drew attention online after posting a series of remarks targeting Erika Kirk following a Turning Point USA event in Texas, as reported by The New York Post.
Kubrick’s comments were directed at a pre-recorded video message delivered by Kirk during Turning Point USA’s “Make Heaven Crowded” tour stop at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. The message was played instead of a live appearance, as Kirk told attendees she was spending time with her family.
In a social media post reacting to the video, Kubrick described the speech as “ghastly” and “inauthentic.”
“I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A GHASTLY INAUTHENTIC PHONY PERFORMANCE IN MY LIFE AS THIS SPEECH BY ERIKA,” Kubrick wrote, adding that she had “been around a lot of phonies” but felt compelled to respond.
Kubrick continued with further criticism, writing that Kirk was “a threat to my country” and suggesting she resembled “a military or intelligence operative.” She also described Kirk as “definitely some kind of sociopath.”
Kubrick said she had a strong reaction to Kirk’s public appearances, writing, “there’s something seriously wrong with this woman – every cell in my body shudders listening to her voice and watching her face.”
Her remarks also referenced previous public statements by Kirk, including comments made at a memorial for her husband, Charlie Kirk. Kubrick cited a moment when Kirk said of the accused attacker, “that young man … I FORGIVE HIM!”
Kubrick additionally referred to a video Kirk had shared, describing it as “way beyond wildly inappropriate” and “horribly sinister.”

In the same series of posts, Kubrick addressed Turning Point USA, urging changes to the group’s leadership structure.
She wrote, “MR PRESIDENT – If we’re to win the midterms, you need to ‘kill’ @TPUSA and let some honest-to-God, authentic, super smart young patriots rally the American youth,” while also stating that no one could replace Charlie Kirk within the organization.
I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED SUCH A GHASTLY INAUTHENTIC PHONY PERFORMANCE IN MY LIFE AS THIS SPEECH BY ERIKA And growing up in the entertainment industry, I’ve been around a lot of phonies - so - I can’t be in any way sorry for stating this clearly —I’m too concerned and genuinely… https://t.co/cGkxux7SAC

The comments came amid heightened attention surrounding Erika Kirk’s recent public appearances. Days before the Plano event, she attended the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where a man attempted to enter the venue with weapons and was later charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
In a separate social media video released Wednesday, Kirk spoke about what she described as an “epidemic of dehumanization” in the United States.
During her Plano appearance via video, Kirk delivered remarks that included reflections on her husband’s death and her own experiences. She also drew parallels to the period between Jesus Christ’s burial and Easter Sunday.
Charlie Kirk, CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated in September while speaking at a college campus in Utah. His memorial service drew national attention, including attendance by President Trump, where Erika Kirk publicly forgave the accused attacker.
Vivian Kubrick has previously commented on political issues, including statements about her father’s views. She has said she is “very confident” that Stanley Kubrick would have supported President Trump. Her remarks followed a discussion surrounding the use of footage from “Full Metal Jacket” in a campaign video.
The exchange involving Kubrick and Kirk has circulated across social media platforms, drawing responses from users and continuing discussion about the figures involved and the organizations connected to the event.
