Later that year, Erika revealed she “turned down being a cast member for Bravo’s Summer House” to finish her degree at Liberty University in 2019.

What Happened to Charlie Kirk?
Charlie Kirk was known for being a right-wing activist.
Kirk, who was known for being an outspoken ally of President Donald Trump, was speaking to a large audience at Utah Valley University as a part of his American Comeback Tour on September 10.
Roughly twenty minutes into his speech, Kirk was shot by a bullet that reportedly came from 200 feet away. In the viral video, the conservative activist can be seen grabbing his neck and collapsing as panicked students sprinted for cover.
The Illinois native was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he remained in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries. He was 31.
Charlie's killer is believed to be 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a Utah resident.
