AMANDA SEYFRIED JUST REFUSE TO APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING CHARLIE KIRK “HATEFUL” — EVEN AFTER HIS PASSING?

“What I said was pretty damn factual,” the “Mean Girls” actress said of her Instagram comment condemning the late Turning Point USA founder’s rhetoric.

Amanda Seyfried is tripling down on her distaste for Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric.

The Mean Girls actress reflected on calling the late Turning Point USA founder “hateful” in an Instagram comment shortly after his death in September.

“I’m not f‑‑‑ing apologizing for that,” she told Who What Wear in a new interview. “I mean, for f‑‑‑’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes.”

The post in question came from the account @So.Informed, which compiled a list of quotes that Kirk made disparaging Black women, immigrants, protesters, birth control, and empathy. Seyfried commented three words on the video: “He was hateful.”

In the Who What Wear interview, Seyfried said that she considered deleting the comment, but ultimately decided to stick with her position publicly.

“What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course,” the actress said. “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, of course.”

Seyfried made a post defending her take on Kirk after her comment generated controversy and criticism.

“We’re forgetting the nuance of humanity,” Seyfried wrote on the platform at the time. “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.”

She continued, “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?”

Elsewhere in her Who What Wear interview, Seyfried reflected on the importance (or lack thereof) of her position in society as an actress.

“It seems ridiculous at times because people are marching the streets, and I’m not one of them — at least not today. I have to remember that I have nothing to apologize for unless I’m harming someone emotionally, physically, mentally,” she told the outlet. “It’s getting so dark that I feel like I gotta just keep my head on and make sure that I get the train on time and promote my movies. A lot of people’s lives depend on that movie being promoted.”

Seyfried will next appear in Paul Feig’s thriller The Housemaid alongside Sydney Sweeney, shortly followed by Mona Fastvold’s historical drama The Testament of Ann Lee. The Dropout actress believes that Sweeney is in a more precarious spot in the public eye than she ever experienced herself.

“She’s got it so much harder than I ever did — not even close. She’s got a spotlight on her that I never had, never wanted,” Seyfried opined. “I can’t help but feel somewhat protective of her, though she doesn’t need my protection. She’s gonna continue to make choices in her career that I think will define, or at least solidify, her as an actual actress because people are too distracted by all the other s‑‑‑ that is created around her.”

When the Joke Stopped: The Silent Moment Between Stephen Colbert and Rachel Maddow That Left Late Night Holding Its Breath

Late-night television is built on momentum. Monologues move quickly. Jokes land, applause rises, and the next segment arrives before the audience has time to sit with discomfort….

At a moment when the word “expert” makes many Americans skeptical, Rachel Maddow continues to do something increasingly rare: she shows her work. Night after night, she unpacks power carefully and methodically — charts, timelines, and context included — even as audiences debate whether expertise itself deserves trust. In a media landscape driven by hot takes and instant conclusions, Maddow asks viewers to take the harder path: to stay with complexity rather than flee from it. That burden has only grown as skepticism deepens and attention spans shrink. Yet her persistence highlights an uncomfortable reality: understanding power takes effort — but choosing not to understand it comes at a far greater cost. Maddow’s role has quietly shifted. She is no longer simply delivering the news; she is defending the idea that knowledge still matters in a culture increasingly impatient with explanation. As tolerance for depth continues to erode, one question lingers: Can democracy run on shortcuts — or must someone still do the difficult work of explaining how power truly functions?

Rachel Maddow’s role in American media increasingly reflects a paradox at the heart of modern journalism: the growing demand for explanation alongside a creeping fatigue with expertise….

Late-night television thrives on speed—rapid jokes, sharp commentary, instant reactions. That’s what made the silence so jarring. During a thoughtful exchange with Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert suddenly paused, offering no punchline, no satire—just a moment of stillness that carried more weight than any words. Viewers felt the shift right away. This wasn’t typical late-night fare; it was introspection, edging toward a quiet reckoning. Maddow’s words hung in the air, and Colbert’s measured response seemed to acknowledge something deeper about the moment we’re in—the state of media, the weight of responsibility, and where humor reaches its limits in uncertain times. Social media reacted not with clipped quotes, but with reflection and unease. The pause itself became the message, a reminder that sometimes silence speaks louder than commentary. And long after the segment ended, that silence continued to resonate… 📌 See full story in the first comment 👇👇 – metronewsline.com
