Many have come and gone from Summer House over the years, but one person you may be shocked to see on your screen if you go back to watch old episodes? The widow of Charlie Kirk, Erika!
Yep, she made her Bravo debut during Season 3 of the popular show in 2019 — long before she married the late Turning Point USA founder. Carl Radke set fellow cast member Jordan Verroi up on a date with his “friend Erika.” However, things didn’t go very far between the pair! They had one awkward-as-hell date, where Jordan asked Erika if she was his soulmate, and she quickly said no! Yikes! Relive the cringe moment (below):

While some viewers may have forgotten about her brief cameo on Summer House, Carl never has! He told Variety in an interview on Tuesday:
“I remember it all. I didn’t know she was ‘Erika Kirk.’ She wasn’t with [Charlie Kirk] then. She was doing stuff in New York. I met her and her brunette friend, who was on the double date as well. [Erika] wanted me to date the friend, and I said she should take a look at my friend, Jordan. We did that whole thing, they went on a date or two. I tried to set ‘em up! The whole thing is kind of insane.”
Carl then claimed he was “advised to not really talk about” Erika’s Bravo history — but he obviously ignored the advice! He added:
“It doesn’t have to deal with me, but all roads lead to Bravo.”
It truly does! And if fans want another fun fact, Erika was allegedly offered a permanent spot on the show! She claimed on Instagram in 2019 that she made “career sacrifices” while pursuing her college degree, “like turning down being a cast member for @bravotv Summer House & other various TV show opportunities.” So, Erika could’ve been a Bravoleb if she decided differently! Wild!
