Amanda Seyfried feared for her life after dubbing the late Charlie Kirk<\/a> as “hateful” last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with British GQ<\/a>, the actress \u2014 who sparked backlash for her comments shortly after Kirk’s murder in September 2025 \u2014 revealed she hired a bodyguard over safety concerns.<\/p>\n

“A, I\u2019m allowed to f—ing voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that\u2019s not unkind necessarily,” she told the outlet. “But there\u2019s just an outsized fear and hatred and impulse to bash and to tear down. And I experienced a very small fraction of that.”<\/p>\n

ACTRESS AMANDA SEYFRIED SAYS SHE’S \u2018NOT F—ING APOLOGIZING\u2019 FOR CHARLIE KIRK POST CALLING HIM HATEFUL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I want my kids to be able to feel safe to voice their opinions as long as they\u2019re not harmful,” she continued. “So I\u2019m like, \u2018What do I do? What do I say?\u2019 And then all of a sudden I find myself with a f—ing bodyguard at the airport and I\u2019m like, \u2018This is crazy.\u2019”<\/p>\n

After the backlash in September, Seyfried wrote in an Instagram<\/a> post: “We\u2019re forgetting the nuance of humanity. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable.”<\/p>\n

“No one should have to experience this level of violence,” she added. “This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?”<\/p>\n

In her caption to the post, she appeared to address her previous controversy<\/u><\/a>, writing, “I don\u2019t want to add fuel to a fire. I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context. Spirited discourse- isn\u2019t that what we should be having?”<\/p>\n

Shortly after the backlash, Seyfried doubled down and said she would not apologize for calling Kirk “hateful.”<\/p>\n

Speaking with “Who What Wear<\/u><\/a>” in an interview published in December, the “Mean Girls” actress spoke about the backlash she faced but refused to back down from her original comments.<\/p>\n

“I’m not f—ing apologizing for that,” Seyfried said. “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. 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 \u2014 which is what people do, of course.”<\/p>\n

She added how she has to remember to “keep [her] head on” regarding politics.<\/p>\n

“It’s always hard to see people who are tricky and harmful have success \u2014 like our gorgeous president<\/a>, the best possible example of that,” Seyfried said while sitting in a restaurant with her interviewer. “It’s so weird to sit in a civilized restaurant. People are serving us food. You can’t unpack it too much, or else you’ll go f—ing insane. Like, how is the world still spinning?”<\/p>\n

In a comment to Fox News Digital at the time, Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said Seyfried is free to say what she wants, but “deserved whatever backlash she gets.”<\/p>\n

“Amanda Seyfried obviously knows nothing about who Charlie Kirk actually was. She\u2019s a victim of her own algorithm and echo chamber. But if your reaction to an innocent husband and father being<\/a> assassinated in cold blood is to pile on and call him \u2018hateful\u2019 instead of offering condolences, or just remaining silent \u2014 I know wild concept \u2014 then you are the hateful one,” Kolvert said.<\/p>\n
