Amanda Seyfried is doubling down on her statement that Charlie Kirk was “hateful” — a comment that followed his assassination and got her loads of backlash.
The ‘Housemaid’ star spoke about the outcry that followed her social media comment during an interview published by Who What Wear Wednesday — and she refused to apologize. Standing her ground, she explained … “I’m not f***ing apologizing for that. I mean, for f***’s sake, I commented on one thing.”
She went on … “I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course.”
When people picked up on her IG comment, she shared a post expressing her views on her own Instagram page. She explained, in part … “I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk’s murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable.”
Amanda told Who What Wear she is thankful she was able to offer clarification. She noted … “It was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualized — which is what people do, of course.”
