Amanda Seyfried recently reflected on how life has been made difficult for her after she released a statement on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

For those unaware, the 40-year-old Oscar Award-nominated actress reshared a meme, implying that Kirk’s death was inevitable and called him “hateful” in a separate comment after he was fatally shot in the neck with a single bullet by a sniper at Utah Valley University on September 10. The authorities stated that his murder was politically motivated.

The meme read: “You can't invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.”

Seyfried’s comment and meme stirred up wrath and demanded an apology, which she rejected without a second thought.

British GQ published her recent interview in which she opened up about facing severe backlash over her remarks, and the situation got so out of hand for her that she ended up hiring a bodyguard for her safety.

The Mean Girls star said, “A, I'm allowed to f******* voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that's not unkind necessarily. But there's just an outsized fear and hatred and impulse to bash and to tear down. And I experienced a very small fraction of that.”

“I want my kids to be able to feel safe to voice their opinions as long as they're not harmful,” Seyfried stated, alluding to her two children, whom she shares with her husband, actor Thomas Sadoski.

“So I'm like, ‘What do I do? What do I say?’ And then all of a sudden I find myself with a f******* bodyguard at the airport, and I'm like, ‘This is crazy,’” she quipped.

It is pertinent to mention that Amanda Seyfried was forced to issue an apology for her remarks about Charlie Kirk's death, but she never released one.
