Amanda Seyfried Stands by Calling Charlie Kirk “Hateful,” Declines to Apologize

She says her assessment rests on Kirk’s recorded statements, using Instagram to clarify that she condemns the shooting.

Overview

  • In a newly published Who What Wear interview, Seyfried said she is “not f—ing apologizing” for labeling Kirk “hateful,” calling her view “pretty damn factual.”
  • She said the remark was based on “actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes,” and credited Instagram with letting her restore context to her position.
  • After September backlash accusing her of implying justification, she posted that Kirk’s murder was “disturbing and deplorable” while maintaining criticism of his rhetoric.
  • Kirk, 31, the Turning Point USA co-founder, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University during a campus event.
  • Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged in the killing and, according to recent reports, appeared in a Utah court Thursday for a status hearing as the case moves forward.
