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.”
