Amanda Seyfried has opened up about the intense period that followed her comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk last year.
Shortly after an ****** assin murdered Kirk in September 2025, Seyfried commented on an Instagram Reel montage of the Turning Point USA founder's most controversial statements, writing: "He was hateful."
After receiving backlash from Kirk's supporters, Seyfried clarified in a separate Instagram post: "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."
In a new interview with British GQ, Seyfried revealed she had to hire a bodyguard in the wake of the furor.
"A, I'm allowed to f***ing voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that's not unkind necessarily. But there's just an outsized fear and hatred and impulse to bash and to tear down. And I experienced a very small fraction of that," The Housemaid star said.
