This episode breaks down a pattern showing up across multiple high-profile stories—from the Kohberger lawsuit involving Washington State University, to new developments in the Charlie Kirk case, to Blake Lively’s legal PR strategy, and the resurfacing of Erica Kirk’s past media image.Different headlines. Same strategy: narrative control, reputation management, and institutional self-protection. This isn’t gossip—this is how power moves when the story starts slipping.If you’re interested in PR, media manipulation, and how stories are shaped in real time, this episode connects the dots.Book your private branding or PR session here: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/storeDonate to our farm animal rescue: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ashleybrianaeveCheck out the new merch: https://ashleybrianaeve-shop.fourthwall.com/en-cad/collections/allInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleybrianaeve/

What if Operation Mockingbird didn’t stop—but simply evolved?This episode examines a potential link between Erika Kirk, the CIA, & Israel's influencer campaign.We look at historical evidence of CIA involvement in media, Hollywood, journalism, and religious institutions, and why those same patterns are being questioned today.I unpack: • The Congress for Cultural Freedom and cultural engineering • Intelligence influence inside newsrooms and entertainment • Evangelical pipelines into military and political power • The possible CIA–Israel intelligence overlap • And why Erica Kirk is raising serious questionsThis is about understanding how narratives are built, protected, and weaponized.Learn more about me here: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/

In this deep dive, we explore the full story of Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and current CEO/Chairwoman of Turning Point USA (as of 2025). From her early days as Miss Arizona USA (competing in Donald Trump's Miss USA pageant) to founding the nonprofit "Everyday Heroes Like You" and its "Romanian Angels" program in Constanța, Romania (2011–2015), we break down the facts.After Charlie Kirk's tragic death in September 2025, viral rumors exploded online claiming Erika was "banned from Romania" due to trafficking links tied to her charity work with U.S. military personnel (including thanks to Col. Otto Busher III, later mentioned in a 2019 whistleblower report). We also cover her family connections (father Kent Frantzve's defense consulting, mother's tech firms with government ties), pro-Israel links, and more. Is this political smear or something deeper? Watch to decide for yourself. Is Erika who she claims to be?This is shocking, and necessary, episode for anyone interested in what is happening with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) since Charlie’s death.Check out my self paced courses: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/storeDonate to our farm animal rescue: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ashleybrianaeveCheck out the new merch: https://ashleybrianaeve-shop.fourthwall.com/en-cad/collections/allInstagram for more content & behind the scenes stories: https://www.instagram.com/ashleybrianaeve/#erikakirk #charliekirk #turningpointusa #popculture #candaceowens

This episode isn’t about “mom drama.” It’s about how influence is built, protected, or destroyed in real time.I break down the growing drama around Ashley Tisdale’s toxic mommy group and why the group’s PR response is a masterclass in what not to do.Then I contrast it with Mel Robbins, whose brand continues to stay remarkably insulated from criticism — even amid controversy — thanks to disciplined narrative control, audience conditioning, and strategic credibility stacking.This isn't just pop culture tea but a branding psychology + PR strategy breakdown for anyone building a public-facing brand in 2026 and beyond.🎉 Please like, share, comment, & "HYPE" videos that give you the option!

This episode is a case study in what not to do when your ego gets louder than your strategy.Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire’s decision to revive Candace Owens’ old podcast—purely to mock her and score petty points—isn’t just messy. It’s reckless, personal, and deeply unserious.What looks like a high-school-level power play is actually a long-term brand and credibility problem—and one that’s going to age badly... and fast.In this episode of Ashley Investigates, I break down why publicly antagonizing Candace Owens is a catastrophic PR misfire, how this move exposes insecurity rather than strength, and why attempting to humiliate a former asset is one of the fastest ways to torch trust, loyalty, and audience goodwill.This is about power, narrative control, and what happens when influence turns petty & implodes in your face.If you care about media manipulation, brand warfare, and how not to implode your own ecosystem—this one matters.🎉 Please like, share, comment, & "HYPE" videos that give you the option!
