Seth Dillon's Text — "A Cost"

Legal Disclaimer

Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing, criminal conduct, or ethical violation by any living person. Seth Dillon and Carrie Prejean Boller are both living persons and neither is accused by this site of any crime or of any knowledge of a plot against Charlie Kirk. The screenshot below is a social-media publication, not an authenticated exhibit. Dillon has not, as of this writing, publicly responded to this specific post.

Screenshot of a phone text thread labeled Seth, reading: He never said to me at least that he was bullied or threatened by anyone. just that saying certain things would come at a cost. He was right about that, but that doesn't make anyone that he was dealing with evil.

On July 25, 2026, Carrie Prejean Boller — the former Miss California USA who has been reported as questioning Seth Dillon about the Hamptons gathering — published a screenshot of a private text thread she says is with Dillon, along with her own account of what he told her in person.

This page separates the two different things in that post: what the screenshot actually shows, and what Prejean Boller says was said off-camera. They are not the same, and the difference matters.

What the screenshot says​

The image is a phone message thread, header labeled "Seth", message count "706". The message reads, in full:

"He never said to me at least that he was bullied or threatened by anyone. just that saying certain things would come at a cost. He was right about that, but that doesn't make anyone that he was dealing with evil."

Read on its own, the text does three things. It denies that Charlie Kirk described being bullied or threatened. It confirms the phrase "saying certain things would come at a cost." And it defends the people Charlie was dealing with — "that doesn't make anyone that he was dealing with evil." The message is, on its face, a message that pushes back on the harder version of the story, not one that supports it.

What Carrie Prejean Boller says beyond the screenshot​

Her post text, quoted in full and near-verbatim:

"Seth Dillon and I spoke back stage at the religious Liberty commission hearing. We exchanged numbers and I followed up on text per our conversation… Seth admitted that Charlie told him if he were to say that Bibi should be replaced that TPUSA would be done. Charlie told Seth that saying certain things would come at a cost. Charlie knew the cost of criticizing Israel and Bibi. Charlie died a hero. He knew the risk of saying the things he was saying and he said it anyway. It eventually cost him his life."

The specific and much stronger claim — that Charlie said calling for Bibi to be replaced would mean "TPUSA would be done" — is attributed to the backstage conversation, not to the text. It does not appear in the screenshot. No recording, transcript, or second text has been published for it.

Why this belongs in the messages record​

Nearly every other page in this section documents a message Charlie Kirk himself sent — to Andrew Kolvet, to Dan Flood, to Frank Turek, or in the September 8 donor group chat. This one is different in kind: it is a third party's text about what Charlie said, published about ten months after the assassination.

That makes it weaker as evidence and more useful as a cross-check. The recurring phrase across this whole section is that Charlie believed his positions carried danger. Dillon's text, if authentic, independently attests the "cost" language while rejecting the framing that anyone bullied or threatened him. A source that confirms one half of a narrative and denies the other half is more credible on both counts than a source that confirms everything.

What is not established​

  • The screenshot's authenticity has not been independently verified. It is a published image of a phone screen, not a forensic extraction. Compare the September 8 donor group chat, where TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the messages on the record — no equivalent confirmation exists here.
  • Dillon has not publicly confirmed or denied sending this specific message.
  • The "TPUSA would be done" quote is hearsay of hearsay: Prejean Boller reporting what Dillon reportedly said Charlie said. It is not in the screenshot.
  • Nothing here establishes that anyone threatened Charlie Kirk, and nothing here identifies who killed him. Prosecutors present a domestic lone-suspect case against Tyler Robinson, who is charged, not convicted.

The Bilzerian post it answers​

Prejean Boller's post quote-tweets @ElectBilzerian (July 24, 2026, 471,907 views):

"In the hamptons on August 4th Charlie asked the Zionist influencers there a question: 'what would you say if I tweeted right now for Netanyahu to resign?' Imo He wasn't helping them come up with retorts... He was preparing to call for Netanyahus resignation. A month later he was assassinated."

That is an inference about intent, offered as opinion ("Imo"), about the same Bridgehampton weekend. The full argument built on the Netanyahu question sits at "If Bibi Should Be Replaced, TPUSA Would Be Done".

X.com posts:​

Interesting In This Area​

  • The text denies bullying or threats while confirming that saying certain things carried a cost.
  • It is the strongest counterweight in this section to the kill-me accounts.
  • What the screenshot shows and what the poster says off-camera are different things.
  • Provenance is a posting account, not an exhibit — as with most captures here.

Interesting In Other Areas​

  • Media coverage has carried both this text and the ones it contradicts.

Other Pages In This Section​

Signal and Telegram, Not iMessage

One technical detail reconciles the central contradiction: messages sent over Signal and Telegram would not sit on the iPhone anyone later checked. It resolves the denial without calling anyone a liar.

Frank Turek's Text and Email

The only first-person account in the section: Turek says the messages came to him, and says so under his own name. One of them was reportedly an email — which means headers, servers and retention. It is the most obtainable piece of evidence described anywhere here, and it has never been published.

The Message to Dan Flood

A warning to a friend is a confidence; a warning to the head of security is an input to a protective decision. Two different wordings are attributed to that message and no screenshot of either exists. The page asks a process question and accuses nobody of anything.

Threats to Other Commentators After the Assassination

Kelly, Carlson, Owens and Carroll all describe becoming targets after taking up the case, or the positions Charlie was moving toward. Every entry is a self-report or a second-hand report, with no police report or protective order published. What is documented is how threats get handled, not that any one is real.

Leaked Kirk Texts (Claims)

Private messages attributed to Kirk reached the public through compilations and podcast segments, never through authenticated court exhibits. Source chain, recipients and context are all still open — and every AmFest text claim rests on this problem.
