A Hollywood star refused Wednesday to apologize for calling the late Charlie Kirk "hateful" in a defiant and profane new interview.
Following the Sept. 10 shooting at a Utah university campus, the star of "The Housemaid" drew criticism after characterizing the slain conservative activist as "hateful" in an Instagram comment, according to Variety. A week later, the actress posted on Instagram to distance herself from the backlash, expressing her opposition to violence in a statement that simultaneously took issue with the Turning Point USA founder's political positions.....
She flatly refused to apologize for the characterization.
"I'm not f---ing apologizing for that. 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," she said. "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."
Seyfried, the report noted, has politics at the top of her mind. She took a shot at President Donald Trump, too.
"It's always hard to see people who are tricky and harmful have success—like our gorgeous president, the best possible example of that," she said, sarcastically. "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?"
