Erika Kirk has taken to social media to share the state that her mother has been in. Lori Frantzve, mother of Erika Kirk, was seen in multiple videos that the businesswoman had posted on her social media. Kirk’s mother appeared to be in frail health, with bandages covering her nose and near her clavicle.

Kirk’s children also appeared in the video, but their faces remained hidden. Kirk has been very particular about her children’s identities, whose names and faces have never been revealed on social media.

It is not yet known what the reason behind the bandages was. Erika Kirk, or any source close to her and the family, has not yet shared what health issues her mother may be facing. The caption that Kirk shared on one of her posts hinted that her mother had been dealing with some issues for a while.

Kirk has described her relationship with her mother as close-knit. She has also credited her with the support that she needed when taking over Turning Point USA. Her husband, right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed during a Turning Point USA event. Since then, Erika Kirk has assumed his responsibilities within the organization. Kirk attributed seeing her mother run her own company as giving her a blueprint to run Turning Point USA.

Kirk was raised by her mother alone. The current Turning Point USA CEO has often cited her mother as a huge source of inspiration, whether for her entrepreneurial spirit or for all the love and affection she received growing up. She wrote under one of the posts about her mother, “You poured everything into me as I was growing up. And now, in this sacred turn of seasons, we pour everything into you.”

Despite growing up raised by a single mother, Erika Kirk believes wholeheartedly in the sanctity of marriage and the importance of the nuclear family. Her late husband, Charlie Kirk, also advocated for the sanctity of marriage and the nuclear family. While Kirk’s comments were considered divisive by some, there were others who agreed with him wholeheartedly, earning him a sizeable following.

Fans have commented under the post about Erika Kirk’s mother, expressing hope that her mother recovers from whatever has been ailing her. One comment read, “ Love you and praying for mama Lo!” which pretty much summed up the sentiment in the comment section.
