Kristin Chenoweth is reflecting on the backlash she received for her tribute to Charlie Kirk following his death in September. "It was tough on me," Chenoweth, 57, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Monday, November 3. "But I'm not going to answer any questions about it because I dealt with it. It nearly broke me, and that's all I'm going to say. You probably know my heart, so you probably know." Kirk died at age 31 on September 10 after he was shot during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University.
