"I'm not f**king apologising for that. I mean, for f**k's sake, I commented on one thing. 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 recontextualised - which is what people do, of course,"
"In a further Instagram post, she wrote that while Kirk's death was "absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable," she was still allowed to be angry at "misogyny and racist rhetoric"."
Amanda Seyfried doubled down on calling Charlie Kirk "hateful" after his death and said her opinion was "pretty damn factual." She refused to apologise and insisted she was free to have an opinion, citing actual footage and quotes as the basis for her remark. Seyfried considered deleting the original comment over concerns for her family's safety but ultimately stood by her viewpoint. She used Instagram to clarify and to reclaim her voice after feeling it had been stolen and recontextualised. Charlie Kirk was a conservative activist and Trump ally known for contentious views on immigration, Islam, gun rights and the transgender community. He was shot and killed while giving a talk at Utah Valley University on 10 September.
