Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried has said she is allowed to voice her feelings after she called late US far-right activist Charlie Kirk “hateful” in a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n
Seyfried, 40, received a backlash from Kirk’s supporters for her comment on an Instagram video featuring his most controversial statements, after his death aged 31 last year.<\/p>\n
In an interview with British GQ, she said: “I\u2019m allowed to f****** voice my feelings, and B, do it in a way that\u2019s not unkind necessarily.<\/p>\n
“But there\u2019s just an outsized fear and hatred and impulse to bash and to tear down. And I experienced a very small fraction of that.<\/p>\n

“I want my kids to be able to feel safe to voice their opinions as long as they\u2019re not harmful. So I\u2019m like, ‘what do I do? What do I say?\u2019, and then all of a sudden I find myself with a f******* bodyguard at the airport and I\u2019m like, \u2018this is crazy\u2019.”<\/p>\n
She also spoke about doing a press tour with actress Sydney Sweeney while she was facing criticism for an advert in which she starred for clothing company American Eagle.<\/p>\n
Seyfried added: “We had a great time on the press tour. We worked really hard and she seemed to be having fun, but I also understood that probably it can\u2019t be f****** easy, where she found herself\u2026<\/p>\n
“I have heard her stand up for herself, but I think she found herself between a rock and a hard place.”<\/p>\n
She went on to say she did not speak about the incident with the star “unless she wants to talk about it”.<\/p>\n
Along with her breakthrough role of Karen Smith in Mean Girls, Seyfried has also starred in films such as Mamma Mia!, Les Mis\u00e9rables and The Testament Of Ann Lee.<\/p>\n
She is married to fellow American actor Thomas Sadoski, best known for his role in HBO series The Newsroom, and the couple have two children.<\/p>\n
The full interview can be read in the Heroes issue of British GQ, which is currently available via digital download and in shops.<\/p>\n
