  1. >Amanda Seyfried is speaking out after she found herself in the middle of social media backlash for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful” in an Instagram comment she posted after his shooting death. The Oscar nominee clarified her remark in a new post, which included the caption: “I don’t want to add fuel to a fire. I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context. Spirited discourse – isn’t that what we should be having?”

    >“We’re forgetting the nuance of humanity,” Seyfried wrote in her statement. “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. 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?”
