Meanwhile, Kyle’s recent tweet comes after earlier on November 25, Skyler posted couple photos of her sitting on Rittenhouse's lap. She wrote in the Twitter description, “Happy (late) Thanksgiving!! So thankful for all my friends and family, and especially an amazing God who never fails me❤️” One Twitter user commented under it saying, “Bruh she a gold digger !!!!” to which Kyle responded, “What gold?! The civil lawsuit I’m facing?”

Kyle was accused of murder last year for fatally shooting two men during the 2020 BLM protests. Most recently, he revealed he had signed up to the premium Twitter Blue service to receive the verification symbol. Rittenhouse's defense attorneys argued throughout the trial, which lasted from November 1 to November 19, 2021, that the 17-year-old shooter had acted in self-defense in August 2020 because demonstrators had "attacked him in the street like an animal." Rittenhouse reportedly had an AR-15-style firearm in his possession during the incident. Rittenhouse claimed in November 2021 that he was not at fault during his preliminary hearing after testifying to the jury that he acted with good reason. 

Meanwhile, after Kyle’s latest tweet, several users came out and reacted to it. One person wrote, “She is attracted to your highly dubious celebrity status and she would probably not want anything to do with you otherwise.” “If she didn't think she could gain notoriety from dating you she would never give you the time of day. Be honest with yourself. Embrace it. Also, get ready for the day the texts with her and friends completely dogging you the entire time come out. Real tears from you finally,” another added. However, others suggested to Kyle to not be bothered by the negative comments.

As one person wrote, “Ignore the naysayers. They don't know either one of you so they are nothing more than projecting anger in the wind. Wishing you both much success, happiness, and gold!! God Bless 😊” “There seems to be a lot of rubbish in some of these comments, Kyle. There are millions of people that were, and always will be, pulling for you. Remember that as you weed through some of these messages. 💪🇺🇸👍” yet another user remarked.
