A woman who posted content mocking the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been fired from her job, leading to a public meltdown on social media. The individual, identified only as “Delco girl” on social media platforms, posted a dramatic video following her termination.
In the emotional footage, the woman expressed shock and despair over losing her employment. “How am I gonna buy food now!” she exclaimed in the video, which quickly circulated across social media platforms.
The termination appears to be linked to her posts celebrating Kirk’s death at Utah Valley University last week. Her employer reportedly took action after the controversial content came to their attention, though the specific company has not been identified.
“I can’t pay my rent. What the fk dude! How am I gonna eat! I can’t believe my job fking fired me!” the woman continued in her video rant. She appeared particularly upset by the termination, claiming: “Youse said I couldn’t be fired. This isn’t fair!”
The firing represents one of the first known employment consequences for individuals who publicly celebrated Kirk’s assassination on social media. Following the conservative activist’s death, numerous users across platforms like TikTok posted content mocking the tragedy.
Her public breakdown highlights the real-world consequences increasingly facing those who post inflammatory content online. Employers have become more vigilant about monitoring employees’ social media activity, particularly when it involves celebrating violence or death.
The woman’s claim that she was told she “couldn’t be fired” suggests she may have believed her posts were protected speech. However, many employers have social media policies that allow termination for posts that could damage the company’s reputation.
“Dude what the f**k! What am I supposed to do now!” she continued in the video, which showed her in clear distress over the sudden loss of income. The raw emotion displayed in the footage underscored her apparent surprise at facing consequences for her online behaviour.
The incident follows a wave of controversial posts celebrating Kirk’s death, including those from UK residents calling for similar violence against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Law enforcement and employers appear to be taking such threats and celebrations of violence more seriously.
Social media users had mixed reactions to the woman’s plight. Some expressed that facing consequences for celebrating someone’s death was appropriate, whilst others debated whether termination was too harsh a punishment.
The case demonstrates how quickly online actions can impact real-world employment. As more individuals face professional consequences for their social media posts, it serves as a warning about the permanence and reach of online content.
Her financial concerns about rent and food highlight the immediate practical impact of job loss. The dramatic shift from posting controversial content to pleading about basic necessities illustrates the swift nature of modern cancel culture consequences.
Employment lawyers note that whilst free speech protections exist, they typically don’t extend to private sector employment. Companies generally have broad discretion to terminate employees whose public statements could harm business interests.
The woman’s meltdown video itself has now gone viral, creating a second wave of attention around her original posts. This additional exposure may further complicate her job search efforts as potential employers can easily find both the original offensive content and her reaction to being fired.
As the fallout from Charlie Kirk’s assassination continues, this firing may signal a broader crackdown on those who celebrate political violence online. The swift employment consequences faced by “Delco girl” could serve as a deterrent to others considering posting similar content.
