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. Chenoweth reacted to the news of Kirk's death via the comments section of a March Instagram post from Turning Point USA, the late conservative commentator's nonprofit organization. Jimmy Kimmel Was 'Touched' by Charlie Kirk's Wife Erika Forgiving Shooter "I'm. So. Upset. Didn't always agree but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak. His young family," she wrote, referring to Charlie's wife, Erika Kirk, and their two children. "I know where he is now. Heaven. But still." Chenoweth received a wave of criticism for her comment, particularly from members of and advocates for the LGBTQ+ community, as Kirk was known to have anti-LGBTQ+ stances. She later addressed the backlash during an interview with NY1's Frank DiLella on September 18. "I saw what happened online with my own eyes. And I had a human moment of reflection," she said. "I came to understand that my comment hurt some folks and that hurt me so badly. I would never. It's no secret that I'm a Christian, that I'm a person of faith. It's also no secret that I am an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and for some, that doesn't go together. But for me, it always has and it always will." Chenoweth was far from the only celebrity to comment on Kirk in the wake of his death. Amanda Seyfried seemingly spoke out against the right-wing political activist on September 16 when she shared a post that read, "You can't invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating." Seyfried, 39, later commented on a post about Kirk, "He was hateful." The Mean Girls actress clarified her stance via Instagram on September 17.

I just want to be able to give clarity to something so irresponsibly (but understandably) taken out of context," she wrote. "Spirited discourse - isn't that what we should be having? We're forgetting the nuance of humanity. I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric, and ALSO very much agree that Charlie Kirk's murder was absolutely disturbing in every way imaginable." She continued, "No one should have to experience this level of violence. This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?" Jamie Lee Curtis also recently had to clarify comments she made about Kirk after she got emotional while discussing Kirk's faith on Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast last month. ABC News' Matt Gutman Clarifies His Comments About Charlie Kirk Suspect "I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith," Curtis, 66, said on the podcast after noting that she disagreed with Kirk on "almost every point I ever heard him say." Curtis continued, "Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he's a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever 'connection to God' means, that he felt it." During an October 28 interview with Variety, Curtis said her comments were "mistranslated." "Like I was talking about him in a very positive way, which I wasn't; I was simply talking about his faith in God," she clarified.
