Showing Original Post only (View all)Amanda Seyfried "not fucking apologizing" for Charlie Kirk comment [View all]
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/amanda-seyfried-says-m-not-230313607.html"Amanda Seyfried told Who What Wear on her press tour for The Testament of Ann Lee that she refuses to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk hateful after the Turning Point USA co-founder was shot and killed earlier this year.
Im not fucking apologizing for that, Seyfried said. I mean, for fucks 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 Im 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 recontextualizedwhich is what people do, of course.
...
"I dont 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 isnt that what we should be having? Seyfried wrote in the posts caption.
Were forgetting the nuance of humanity, she went on to explain. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirks 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?
