A former classmate of Charlie Kirk, the late conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, has gone public with allegations that he was subjected to severe bullying by Kirk during their high school years. The claims, first posted on social media earlier this month, have since gone viral and sparked widespread discussion online.

The individual, identified as Nick Caputo, shared his account in a post that quickly gained traction across platforms such as Threads and Instagram. “Charlie Kirk bullied me relentlessly in high school to the point that I had an attempt before the age of 18,” Caputo wrote. His statement has been viewed and shared millions of times, with thousands of users weighing in on the alleged behavior.

The post was subsequently picked up by outlets like Bored Panda, amplifying its reach. In his remarks, Caputo did not provide detailed examples of the alleged incidents but emphasized the lasting emotional toll he attributes to the experience.

The timing of the revelation comes just days after news of Kirk’s death at age 31 following a shooting at an event in Utah, which drew condolences from political figures including former President Donald Trump. The bullying allegation has since become part of the wider conversation about Kirk’s life and legacy.

At present, no independent evidence has surfaced to corroborate Caputo’s account, and no other former classmates have publicly confirmed or disputed his claims. The statements remain unverified personal allegations circulating online.

Despite the lack of corroboration, the story has ignited intense debate on social media, where supporters and critics alike continue to react to both the allegations and Kirk’s broader role in American political life.

For now, the claims stand as one person’s testimony, underscoring how social platforms can elevate personal experiences into the global spotlight, especially when connected to a controversial public figure.
