Just 30 minutes ago, Gal Gadot caused a stir when she posted a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter), openly criticizing the scene where Donald Trump and Erika Kirk hugged on stage to pay tribute to Erika’s late husband – conservative politician Charlie Kirk.
In a short but powerful status, the Hollywood actress wrote: “Turning grief into a performance is unforgivable!” This statement immediately caused a storm, not only because it was aimed directly at a powerful former US President, but also because it touched on a sensitive wound – the passing of Charlie Kirk.

A statement that shook Hollywood
In the context of the US entertainment industry already divided by political controversies, Gal Gadot’s statement was like adding fuel to the already smoldering pile. Her public criticism of Trump, right when he appeared with Erika Kirk at a televised memorial service, further escalated the situation.

Trump reportedly made intimate gestures towards Erika Kirk, including hugging and comforting her on stage. But in Gal Gadot’s eyes, that moment was no longer a sharing, but a calculated political performance to attract attention.
Fans are fiercely divided
Just a few minutes after the post appeared, thousands of comments flooded under the post. Gal Gadot’s supporters said she dared to speak the truth that many other Hollywood stars dare not touch. One fan wrote: “Gal is right, this is not true empathy, but just Trump’s way of turning tragedy into a stage for himself.”
However, there are also many critics. Some people accuse Gal Gadot of exploiting Charlie Kirk’s death to polish her name. Someone bluntly said: “This is none of your business. The Kirk family has the right to choose how to commemorate, there is no need for Gal to lecture.”
Trump remains silent, Erika is in pain?
Up to now, neither Trump nor Erika Kirk has responded. But this silence seems to add fuel to the fire, as public opinion has begun to weave many hypotheses. Some say that Erika is becoming a “chess piece” in Trump’s political chessboard, turning her husband’s tribute into a tool to polish her image.
Meanwhile, some people defend Erika, saying that she is living in extreme pain, and any support, even from Trump, is simply out of human kindness.
Gal Gadot – from star to “political warrior”?
Many observers say that this action marks a turning point in Gal Gadot’s image. From an actress beloved for her role as Wonder Woman, she now appears as a woman who dares to challenge even the most powerful figures in American politics.
However, this also has many potential risks. Because, every time a Hollywood star chooses to stand on a political side, they not only gain support, but also certainly face a wave of boycotts from the opposing side.
A stormy future
Will Gal Gadot’s statement just be a temporary media storm, or will it become a deeper rift in the already tense relationship between Hollywood artists and American politics? Currently, no one can give a definite answer.
But one thing is clear: with just one status line on X, Gal Gadot has made waves in Hollywood. And while fans are still fiercely debating, Gal Gadot’s name has once again covered the global media – this time not because of a role, but because of a thorny and uncompromising statement.
