Amanda Seyfried Refuses to Apologize for Calling Charlie Kirk 'Hateful' in New Interview

She frames the Instagram remark as a factual judgment, not an endorsement of violence.

Overview

  • In a Who What Wear interview published Wednesday, Seyfried said she is "not f—ing apologizing" and called her assessment "pretty damn factual."
  • She said her view was grounded in Kirk’s recorded statements and that social media let her clarify her stance after critics recontextualized it.
  • Following September backlash, she wrote that Kirk’s killing was "disturbing and deplorable" even as she objected to what she called misogynistic and racist rhetoric.
  • Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet criticized her comments in a statement, reflecting renewed pushback from conservative media and supporters.
  • Kirk, 31, was shot dead Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University; suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged and is scheduled for a status hearing in Utah County court on Thursday.
