On September 10, the streaming service shared pictures of The Gentlemen’s lead character Eddie Horniman (Theo James) and his love interest Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) on X.
The tweet was captioned ‘Nearly did himself a neck injury.’
As the tweet was posted on the anniversary of right-wing political activist Kirk’s death, however, several people assumed that Netflix was joking about his assassination.
‘This post will become social media history,’ wrote @justimportant2. ‘When your subscription service fails, this post will come back in millions of views to mock you. Bless you, Charlie. I am sorry these people are so cruel.’
‘This is a shocking level of evil, even by Netflix’s standards,’ added @SlowToWrite. ‘The biggest streaming company in the world is mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination.’
Other users shared pictures of themselves unsubscribing from Netflix.
Netflix has since released a statement denying the tweet was a reference to Kirk.
‘This post directly references a plot point from our U.K. series, The Gentlemen, which launched its second season on September 3,’ a spokesperson told Metro.
‘Suggestions that it has any link to sensitive real-world events are inaccurate and ludicrous.’
