""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, of course.""
""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?""
Amanda Seyfried refused to apologize for calling Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk "hateful" after he was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10. In an interview she defended her Instagram comment, saying her remark was based on actual reality including footage and quotes, and that she used Instagram to restore her voice after it was stolen and recontextualized. She reshared a post about violence and later emphasized that she condemns the murder as disturbing and deplorable while also criticizing misogyny and racist rhetoric. Other celebrities also commented, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! faced suspension after related remarks.
