Amanda Seyfried, who is now gearing up for the release of her two upcoming films later this month, recently opened up about her past statements regarding Charlie Kirk. According to Rolling Stone, the Emmy-nominated actress recently spoke in an interview with Who What Wear about why she previously took to her Instagram after she received backlash from certain quaters for calling Charlie Kirk "hateful." In her interview with the outlet, she explained how her words were taken out of context, prompting her to make a statement of her own. She said:"Thank God for Instagram. I was able to give some clarity."Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck three months back on September 10, while he was attending Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour. According to reports, the conservative commentator was immediately rushed to the Timpanogos Regional Hospital in critical condition but was later declared dead. Two days later, on September 12, Tyler Robinson was arrested in relation to his murder.More from Amanda Seyfried's recent interview, as she stands by her statement regarding Charlie Kirk In her interview with Who What Wear, published on December 10, Amanda Seyfried opened up about why she called Charlie Kirk "hateful." She further explained why she would not apologize for her comments, pointing how her opinion was actually based on Charlie Kirk's history of problematic statements. She said:"I’m not f*cking apologising for that. I mean, for f*ck’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 further added:"And it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and recontextualised – which is what people do."On Monday, Amanda Seyfried, who received two Golden Globe nominations in two separate categories, had previously taken to her Instagram to explain her stance, writing:"I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk’s murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable."

It was a reminder to people that I can show up and do good work. But if you don't keep working hard, doing what you love, but also making interesting choices, it fades. It all fades.
