Former Broadway “Wicked” actress Kristin Chenoweth said the backlash to her sympathetic social media post on Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk<\/a>‘s death “nearly broke” her on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Broadway star spoke to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> about her latest role in the play “The Queen of Versailles” when she was asked about her Instagram post reacting to Kirk’s assassination in September.<\/p>\n

“I’m. So. Upset. Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak. His young family. I know where he is now. Heaven. But still,” Chenoweth wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

Chenoweth received intense backlash from her fans, who accused her of betraying the LGBTQ+ community by mourning the conservative activist.<\/p>\n

“It was tough on me, but I\u2019m not going to answer any questions about it because I dealt with it,” Chenoweth said Monday. “It nearly broke me, and that\u2019s all I\u2019m going to say. You probably know my heart, so you probably know.”<\/p>\n

Chenoweth had previously responded to the backlash<\/a> during an interview with NY1 in September.<\/p>\n

“I saw what happened online with my own eyes and I had a human moment of reflection right then,” Chenoweth said. “I came to understand that my comment hurt some folks and that hurt me so badly. I would never. It’s no secret that I’m a Christian, that I’m a person of faith. It’s also no secret that I am an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and for some, that doesn’t go together. But for me, it always has, and it always will.”<\/p>\n

Chenoweth’s comments came about one week after actress Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a> seemed to walk back her own positive comments towards Kirk after similarly receiving backlash.<\/p>\n

“An excerpt of it mistranslated what I was saying as I wished him well \u2014 like I was talking about him in a very positive way, which I wasn\u2019t; I was simply talking about his faith in God,” Curtis told Variety. “And so it was a mistranslation, which is a pun, but not.”<\/p>\n

She had previously teared up over Kirk’s death<\/a>, saying, “I mean, I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say. But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to his faith. Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he\u2019s a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever \u2018connection to God\u2019 means, that he felt it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
