Actor Amanda Seyfried has come forward to defend herself from backlash after calling conservative activist Charlie Kirk “hateful” in a comment posted on Instagram after his assassination.
Just days after Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during an event in Utah earlier this month, an Instagram video from the account @So.Informed posted a video which highlighted several controversial remarks that Charlie Kirk had made about immigration, trans rights, and more.
The actor had responded to the Instagram post. “He was hateful,” the Mamma Mia! actor wrote in the comment section.
Amanda had also seemingly commented on Charlie Kirk’s death by resharing a message via her Instagram Stories that read, “You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.”
The actor was getting slammed by her activity on social media, which prompted her to address the hate coming her way and clarify her remark in a separate Instagram post.
“I don’t want to add fuel to a fire. I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context. Spirited discourse- isn’t that what we should be having?” Amanda wrote in the caption while sharing a note.
Defending her views, Amanda wrote in her note, “We’re forgetting the nuance of humanity. 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.”
“No one should have to experience this level of violence. This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?” she added.
Charlie Kirk was fatally shot on September 10, when he was speaking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem. A 22-year-old man from Utah, Tyler Robinson, has been arrested but the motive remains unclear except that police say Robinson held a deep disdain for Kirk’s far-right political views that often attracted allegations of racism.
In a historic level of government recognition, US President Donald Trump has announced to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour given by the United States. He also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff and sent the Vice President to accompany his casket, unusual for a non-elected official. In the aftermath of the assassination, Jimmy Kimmel’s show is being pulled by ABC, following remarks the comedian made about Tyler Robinson.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Right now it looks like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t manage to get anything done.

Aw, this was a very good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
