Charlotte Kirk (born Charlotte Sophie Dyke;[1] 16 June 1992) is a British actress and writer.[2][3]

Career[]

Kirk attended the Italia Conti School of Acting, and participated with The Miskin Theatre and Jigsaw Performing Arts.[4] Kirk appeared in commercials for Nintendo Wii and Orange Telecom.[4] Kirk has worked with photographer Patrick Demarchelier.[4]

In 2013, Kirk was cast in the film Nicole and O.J. by director Joshua Newton,[5] who described Kirk as his former girlfriend.[6] In 2018, she co-wrote and acted in The Reckoning,[2][7] directed by Neil Marshall, to whom she became engaged.[8]

Personal life[]

Kirk lives with director Neil Marshall in Los Angeles.[9][10] As a young girl, she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.[11]

She has been involved in multiple affairs with television and film studio executives.[6][2] In March 2019, Kirk was tied to the resignation of Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara.[12]

...Kirk reportedly began contacting Tsujihara, Packer, and Ratner to pressure them to land her roles in upcoming movies. Kirk's efforts didn't result in anything substantial, but she did land small roles in the Warner Bros. production "Ocean's 8" and the New Line Cinema production "How to Be Single." When Tsujihara's actions came to light in 2019, he had little choice but to resign... Kirk also reportedly pressured Millennium Films CEO Avi Lerner[13] to land roles in his productions, including the 2019 remake of "Hellboy" directed by (Neil) Marshall.[14]—Variety

I confirm that I was in a romantic relationship with James Packer in the summer of 2013 and that I was treated with respect by Mr. Packer, and I have no issues with him or claims against him. I further confirm that when the relationship ended I sought the advice of Mr. Tsujihara whom I had been introduced to by Mr. Packer. Mr. Tsujihara never promised me anything. I also confirm that Brett Ratner helped me out of friendship to assist me in getting auditions and trying to help me find an agent, and I have no issues with him or claims against him. I deny that there was any legal settlement or agreement entered into between myself and Brett Ratner in 2016.

In 2012, Kirk, then 20 years old, became involved with then NBCUniversal vice-chairman Ronald Meyer, then in his late sixties, meeting at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association event in London.[15] By the end of 2012,[14] she had been in a sexual relationship with Australian billionaire James Packer.[16][17][18]

Kirk had an extramarital affair with then-Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara in 2013 and 2014.[3][19] Tsujihara resigned as CEO of Warner Bros. in March 2019.[12][20]

In August 2020, she was tied to the resignation of Meyer.[21] Meyer disclosed that he paid Kirk a settlement of $2 million.[10]

In September 2020, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Tsujihara and Meyer may have colluded to cover up the real nature of their relationships with Charlotte Kirk.[22]

On 29 October 2020, Vanity Fair magazine published an article, 'Sex and Texts, Secrets and Lies: How the Charlotte Kirk Saga Blew Up Hollywood' by Mark Seal. The article details a complex story of Ms. Kirk's involvement at various levels with several Hollywood executives and producers.[23]
