Weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September 2025, social media posts claimed the conservative activist had secretly subscribed to a trans woman’s OnlyFans account and sent her $30,000, with screenshots allegedly showing his legal name from his credit card.
The rumor spread on multiple social media platforms, including X, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. “Charlie Kirk accused of subscribing to transgender influencer website,” one TikTok user wrote. Videos repeating the allegation often framed it as proof of hypocrisy, alluding to Kirk’s public statements on transgender rights and OnlyFans.
In short, there was no verifiable evidence Kirk subscribed to the OnlyFans creator or that he sent her $30,000. The screenshot at the center of the claim showed only a display name, which subscribers can choose freely and change at any time — not an official or verified name. Because of this, the circulating image does not establish that the account belonged to Kirk.
We contacted the user who first made the allegation and asked whether she could provide any verifiable evidence to substantiate her claim. We requested an unedited screen recording of her OnlyFans dashboard showing the alleged subscriber, along with any metadata, payment confirmations, or communication logs that could link the account to Kirk. We also reached out to OnlyFans seeking additional information. We will update this article if we receive a response.
Source of the rumor
The allegation originated with a transgender online creator using the handle @jadetrapgirlts, who posted a video on Instagram asserting that Kirk had been a paying subscriber to her page.
According to the post, Kirk allegedly subscribed to her OnlyFans under the username “@ownthelibz1776” and used his full legal name, “Charles James Kirk,” which she claimed appeared in her creator dashboard “taken from the credit card.” The circulating screenshot displayed her subscriber list with a profile listed as “Charles James Kirk @ownthelibz1776,” along with supposed subscription earnings and a “last activity” date of Sept. 10, 2025 — the day Kirk was killed during an on-campus event at Utah Valley University.

But the screenshot being presented as evidence was the only proof offered, and it contained several red flags. The most basic issue was that the claim contradicted how OnlyFans itself handles user information. The platform’s privacy policy explained that creators do not see subscribers’ real names or credit card information. OnlyFans said it shows only a user’s public profile information, meaning the username and whatever display name or bio the subscriber voluntarily adds to their account. Nothing in the creator dashboard verifies that a chosen display name corresponds to a legal identity.
To verify this, we set up a test OnlyFans account. When creating a subscriber profile, we were able to choose any display name we liked, and on the creator side that name appeared exactly as entered — without any verification, and without any link to the actual payment details. This means that the name “Charles James Kirk” in the screenshots could simply be text that any user typed into their profile settings or text that someone edited into a fabricated screenshot. It is not evidence that OnlyFans received or revealed a legal name tied to a payment card.

Moreover, while OnlyFans stores legal names for creators and content collaborators, it does not display legal names for fans — the category that subscribers fall under.

Regarding payment data, the platform explains that all transactions are processed by third-party payment providers. Creators receive no cardholder information and OnlyFans itself only receives a nonidentifying token and limited metadata such as card type and the first six and last four digits of the card number. None of this would reveal a subscriber’s legal name.
As of this writing, the OnlyFans profile using the handle @ownthelibz1776 displayed a disclaimer reading: “I am not Charlie Kirk, I am Foilmanhacks” and linked directly to an X account belonging to user @foilmanhacks.
That user, Jason Sawyer, explained in a series of posts how he was able to test the legitimacy of the alleged account. To see whether the username had ever been associated with Kirk, he attempted to create a new OnlyFans account using the handle “ownthelibz1776,” which the platform accepted. Because OnlyFans does not allow duplicate usernames, this indicates that the handle circulating in the screenshot was not in use by anyone else at that time, disproving the claim that the account belonged to Kirk.
Therefore, as of this writing, the @ownthelibz1776 OnlyFans account does not belong to Kirk, and there is no evidence it ever did.
Bottom line
The allegation that Kirk subscribed to a trans creator’s OnlyFans page and spent $30,000 on her content was not supported by any verifiable evidence. The circulating screenshot does not demonstrate access to subscriber data but simply shows a display name that can be freely chosen or easily manipulated. As of this writing, the account at the center of the rumor explicitly states it has no connection to Kirk.
