'I'm not f**king apologizing': Amanda Seyfried lashes out at critics for 3 words she said about Charlie Kirk

Seyfried also called his death 'disturbing and deplorable.'

A Hollywood actress lashed out at her critics after she called Charlie Kirk "hateful" in the wake of his assassination during a campus event in Utah in September.

Amanda Seyfried accused her critics of misquoting her, even as she doubled down on the criticism against the late conservative activist.

'What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course.'

Only days after his death, Seyfriend gave a three-word response to a post of some of Kirk's comments: "He was hateful."

She was hit with immediate backlash but doubled down in an interview with the "Who What Wear" digital fashion company.

"I'm not f**king apologizing for that. I mean, for f**k's sake, I commented on one thing," she said. "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 also previously offered clarification on Instagram and accused people of taking her words out of context.

"We're forgetting the nuance of humanity," she wrote.

"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," Seyfried added. "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?"

The shocking killing of Kirk at the Utah Valley University campus stunned the nation and led to many on the right and left calling for everyone to ease the rhetoric against their political opponents.

Seyfried is best known for her supporting role in the 2004 hit movie "Mean Girls." She has since starred in other movies.
