Jamie Lee Curtis Weeps on WTF Podcast, Decries Viral Video of Charlie Kirk Assassination

Her remarks highlight cross-partisan grief over political violence.

Overview

  • Curtis cried while discussing Kirk on Marc Maron’s podcast, calling him a father, husband, and man of faith despite saying she opposed his ideas.
  • She warned about the psychological toll of repeatedly viewing violent footage and said she does not want to see the video of the shooting.
  • During the conversation, recorded a few days after the killing, she briefly misspoke and said "Charlie Crist," which she attributed to thinking of Kirk’s deep religious belief.
  • Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University; police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, with formal charges expected, according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.
  • Hollywood figures, including Jimmy Kimmel, condemned the killing and urged empathy, reflecting broader calls to separate political disagreements from the value of human life.
