Amanda Seyfried revealed in a recent British GQ profile that she had to hire a bodyguard after she called Charlie Kirk “hateful” shortly after the Turning Point USA co-founder was shot and killed last year. Seyfried’s comment ignited outrage from conservatives on social media.

“A, I’m allowed to fucking voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that’s not unkind necessarily,” Seyfried said looking back at the ordeal. “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. So I’m like, ‘What do I do? What do I say?’ And then all of a sudden I find myself with a fucking bodyguard at the airport and I’m like, ‘This is crazy.’”
