Kristin Chenoweth has addressed the backlash she's received from fans after paying tribute to Charlie Kirk following his tragic death. Chenoweth, 57, sat down with NY1's Frank DiLella for an interview on Thursday, September 18, where DiLella brought up how her post was met with "mixed reactions." "Mixed? You're being kind," she replied. DiLella then brought up how Chenoweth has a "big LGBTQ+ fan base" and how the Kirk, a conservative political activist, "openly opposed same-sex marriage [and] trans rights." The journalist asked the Broadway star what she hoped to "convey" in her tribute.
