Amanda Seyfried has ignited backlash after she alluded that the death of Charlie Kirk was expected in a reshared social media post.

Right-wing political activist Kirk was assassinated on September 10 at the age of 31 at Utah Valley University.

Five days later, on September 15, Mean Girls actress Amanda, 39, appeared to hint that his death was inevitable.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Monday, she reshared a text post that read: ‘You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.’

She also commented underneath a separate text post to describe Kirk as ‘hateful.’

Amanda has divided opinion since sharing her Instagram Story, with many social media users furious by her words.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one angrily said: ‘Amanda Seyfried should also be shunned by a polite society. I’m just not as forgiving as #CharlieKirk who Amanda Seyfried calls “hateful.”‘

Another said: ‘Boycott anything she’s in and report her.’

Not everyone was in agreement though as many celebrated Amanda’s remark.

‘That’s our girl,’ one cheered as another said: ‘She just earned a follower!’

‘Here we go with another unfair, misleading take,’ a third added. 

‘She never endorsed murder. Her repost was a general comment on how violence breeds violence. Stop twisting words just because someone doesn’t feel the need to empathize with you.’ 

Additionally, Amanda’s pinned Instagram post, a selfie with her cat which was uploaded in August 2023, has been inundated with comments from both ends of the spectrum.

One furious social media user commented: ‘Cancelled. Worst comments about Charlie Kirk.’

Agreeing, another said: ‘So evil to speak bad towards a deceased person who was also so peaceful. You will suffer from karma definitely!’

‘You’re so hateful,’ a third continued: ‘I’ll never watch a show or movie with you in it again.’

‘Horrible words for a passing of human being and terrible actress by the way!’ blasted a fourth. 

Others, however, heaped praise on Amanda for speaking out.

‘You gained a follower since you speak the truth and are courageous!’ one penned.

Another added: ‘Followed!! Love you more for the bravery of speaking out and being authentic.’ 

Kirk’s suspected assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested late Thursday night and is being held in a Utah jail on suspicion of aggravated murder.

The alleged killer reportedly justified his actions by saying ‘some hatred cannot be negotiated with’, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed.

‘I will say what was found in terms of information, a text message exchange, where the suspect specifically stated he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was gonna do that,’ Patel told Fox News.

The suspect will appear in court today where he’s set to be charged for Kirk’s death.

The investigation, according to Patel, has featured witness interviews between both the FBI and local and regional law enforcement, where they found Robinson ‘essentially admitted’ to killing Kirk.

DNA from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm that was used to kill Kirk was a match for the suspect, Patel said.

He also tempered concerns about how long details pertaining to the probe were taking, saying that he ‘won’t stylize the evidence’ but that ‘information will come out.’
