Amanda Seyfried isn’t sorry for speaking her truth. In an interview with Who What Wear, the actress said she refuses to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful” after the Turning Point USA co-founder was shot and killed earlier this year.

In September, Seyfried commented on an Instagram post about Kirk’s death, writing, “He was hateful.” There was an immediate backlash, and she shared her own post clarifying her comment the following day. She said she doesn’t regret writing it.

“I’m not fucking apologizing for that. I mean, for fuck’s sake, I commented on one thing,” she told Who What Wear. “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 — which is what people do, of course.”
