Amanda Seyfried Says She Won’t Apologize for Calling Charlie Kirk ‘Hateful’

She cites a factual basis for the remark, reiterating her condemnation of his killing.

Overview

  • A Who What Wear interview published Wednesday features Seyfried saying she is “not f—ing apologizing,” asserting her view was based on Kirk’s recorded statements and quotes.
  • Seyfried originally wrote “He was hateful” under an Instagram post days after Kirk’s death, then clarified that she condemns the killing and opposes violence.
  • Conservative commentators renewed backlash and boycott calls after her latest comments, accusing her of implying the murder was justified, which she rejects.
  • Seyfried said the uproar brought personal strain, including worried texts and lost sleep, before she chose to keep her comment and post a clarification.
  • Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University; 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been charged in the case.
