Amanda Seyfried Doubles Down on 'Hateful' Charlie Kirk Post
"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. Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualized which is what people do."
"The post was made days after the Turning Point USA founder's death. She also published a text post seemingly referencing Kirk, in which she wrote, You can't invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating. In the new interview, Seyfried declared she's not f*cking apologizing. I'm not f*cking apologizing for that. I mean, for f*ck's sake, I commented on one thing, she said."
Amanda Seyfried doubled down on Instagram posts that labeled Charlie Kirk as hateful and said she would not apologize. She defended her remarks as based on actual reality, footage and quotes and framed them as factual. She emphasized the right to hold and express opinions and thanked Instagram for enabling clarity and reclaiming her voice after what she described as being stolen and recontextualized. She also posted a denial of encouraging violence while calling Kirk's murder disturbing and deplorable. She commented on the difficulty of witnessing harmful people achieve success and on maintaining composure in politicized public spaces.
