High-end athleisure brand Alo has come under potential legal scrutiny after the private purchase history of Erika Kirk made its way to a viral TikTok video. A receipt shows purchases made on Kirk's card in Utah following the horrific assassination of her husband Charlie at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

A TikToker with the handle @markosbits said in a video posted to his account that he got a tip from "someone who works at Alo" that Kirk had spent $1,000 the day after her husband was killed. He showed the receipt and mocked her for going on a "shopping spree" the day after her husband's killing.

He said the receipt would "completely ruin Erika Kirk’s entire story." The TikToker has a history of being critical of Kirk. The video has been viewed 8 million times on TikTok and millions more on other social media platforms. Kirk leads Turning Point USA in the wake of her husband's death. Continue…

The admission marks a significant shift from the broader messaging when the policy was unveiled last September. Continue…
