Jamie Lee Curtis spoke about the killing of Charlie Kirk during her appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. Curtis is known for being open about political issues.
She was visibly emotional while discussing Kirk’s death on the podcast. She admitted she did not agree with his views but still felt deep sorrow over his loss.
Curtis began her reflection by first calling him “Charlie Crist” before correcting herself. She said the slip came from thinking of Kirk’s strong connection to his faith. She explained that even though she disagreed with almost everything Kirk stood for, she still hoped he found comfort in his beliefs at the end of his life.
Her words drew attention because they showed how she was able to look past political divides and recognize Kirk as a human being. The conversation happened just days after Kirk was killed in Utah, which added to the impact of her reaction. Many fans reacted to her breaking down during the podcast.

Jamie Lee Curtis broke down in tears during the podcast when she described Kirk as “a father, a husband, and a man of faith.” She said that:
“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 with his faith. Even though his ideas were abhorrent to me. I still believe he’s a father and a husband and a man of faith. And I hope whatever connection to God means that he felt it.”
