Summary
Netflix said its UK & Ireland X post about a character nearly suffering a “neck injury” was unrelated to Charlie Kirk, rejecting comparisons as “inaccurate and ludicrous.”
The post used images from “The Gentlemen” and, according to Netflix, referred to a plot point in the series, whose second season launched on Sept. 3.
Conservative X users tied the wording to Kirk, who was shot in the neck and killed on Sept. 10, 2025, accusing Netflix of joking about the anniversary of his death.
The backlash came as universities had already faced criticism over reported “Kirkiversary” plans, underscoring how Kirk’s first death anniversary remains a flashpoint on the right.
