What did Amanda Seyfried say about Charlie Kirk? Actress’s comment on political activist surfaces online

Amanda Seyfried’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death last week reappeared on social media after the actress expressed her views online. According to Page Six, the Mamma Mia star left a sharp comment beneath a video shared by @So.Informed, an Instagram account that highlighted Kirk’s remarks over the years on abortion, immigration, LGBTQ+ issues, and other topics.

“He was hateful,” Seyfried wrote.

The post featured one of Kirk’s own quotes from January 2024:

“‘Ask yourself, why is exposing the flaws of MLK’s life and character — something he said we should judge others by — so controversial?’”

As Us Weekly noted, Amanda Seyfried also posted to her Instagram Stories following news of the political activist’s death. She shared a widely circulated message that read,

“You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.”

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot on September 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He died at the age of 31. Police later identified Tyler Robinson as the suspect and arrested him on September 12. Tyler Robinson has now been charged with seven counts, with prosecutors confirming they will seek the death penalty for the crime. Charlie Kirk leaves behind his wife, Erika Kirk, and their two children.

Amanda Seyfried gets candid about addiction, fame, and finding balance:

In a candid conversation with L’Officiel published on October 2, 2024, Amanda Seyfried reflected on family struggles, her career, and the lessons she learned along the way. When asked if she had ever dealt with addiction in her family, Seyfried opened up about a painful loss.

“I lost my uncle. It's the story of finally getting clean and then [having] that one dose. It's awful. For my grandmother, it was horrible. You never know when it's going to be the end. It's a f**king disease. Everybody has a chance to survive, but society doesn't give them a lot of allowances or space to do that,” she shared.

She added that stigma made recovery harder:

“We’ve got to be more creative and have less fear and judgment, even when talking to people who aren't politically in line with you. If you want to hear each other, you must listen. It makes a big difference. Fear begets judgment.”

The actress, who began working in Hollywood as a teenager, was also asked how she managed to handle fame at such a young age. Amanda Seyfried explained that timing and perspective played key roles in shaping her outlook.

“I never got uber-famous. I didn’t have [social media] growing up. I remember the first time I got an Instagram account, I was 25. Plus, I’ve always had the same friends. I never took myself too seriously,” she explained.

Looking back, she credited her mindset with helping her weather rejection.

“I’ve been acting since I was 15. When I didn’t get a job, I was devastated. So, I never believed that I would get the job; I just hoped I would. And when I did, it was great! Mamma Mia! was huge for me. When I auditioned for Mean Girls, I didn’t know what it was. I was 17 and was just happy to have a speaking role,” she recalled.

Amanda Seyfried concluded that her approach was not always ideal but effective.

“Having low expectations is not the healthiest way to live in the world, but it has helped. Also, my parents have always been very supportive of my sister and me. And that goes a long way. And then of course having the place upstate,” she added.
