![]() The 19-year-old has hit back at trolls who said his new girlfriend was only with him for his money. Kyle Rittenhouse is pictured during his trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Wisconsin in November 2021. He shot three people, killing Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and wounding 26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz. The then-17-year-old had set out armed with a semi-automatic rifle to riots in Kenosha, in the neighboring state of Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse from Antioch, Illinois, was previously cleared of charges in November 2021 when a jury found that the shootings were self-defense. It comes after he was named as a defendant in a civil lawsuit filed by the parents of Anthony Huber, one of the men Rittenhouse fatally shot. Rittenhouse, who is a deeply divisive figure and has become something of a poster boy for the hard-right, is currently seeking donations that he says would to enable him to build a legal fund. Newsweek has reached out to both Rittenhouse and Bergoon for comment. It's not clear whether she was referring to the online harassment. On November 24, Bergoon tweeted: "I pray that those who bully, harass, take advantage, and hurt me and my loved ones will find Jesus." He also hit out at a comment by a Twitter user, who had contacted him about his girlfriend's motives to say: "bruh she a gold digger !!!!" Rittenhouse replied: "What gold?! The civil lawsuit I'm facing?" I have not won any settlements since I have not even filed any lawsuits… yet." I actually am facing a lawsuit and the left is trying to drown me financially with legal bills. "I keep seeing these comments but here is the truth: My girlfriend is not a gold digger," he tweeted late on Sunday night. However, the 19-year-old was hit by so many comments branding his girlfriend, Skyler Bergoon, a "gold digger" that he lashed out online and directly addressed the trolls' claims. Rittenhouse-who, aged 17, fatally shot two men and wounded a third during riots back in 2020, and was later found not guilty of homicide and attempted homicide-has been keen to share details of his new relationship on social media with posts and photos. ![]() Controversial killer Kyle Rittenhouse, who is trying to raise funds for himself amid legal woes, has hit back at trolls who said his new girlfriend was only with him for his money.
