Amanda Seyfried faced heavy criticism for her comments about Charlie Kirk following his assassination. Now, she shares that she had to hire a bodyguard due to the backlash.
Conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk was assassinated while at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, in September of last year.
The killing shocked many worldwide, with many honoring him. Actress Amanda Seyfried did not. After the assassination, Seyfried called Kirk “hateful” on Instagram, prompting heavy criticism. A week after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Mamma Mia star publicly condemned the murder but also maintained her criticism of his views.
