Weeks after taking aim at late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Amanda Seyfried has doubled down on her verdict.

The actress took to social media back in September, where she had her say on Kirk's shock assassination.

The 31-year-old conservative influencer was fatally shot while hosting a Republican rally at Utah Valley University.

The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was allegedly positioned on a nearby rooftop while Kirk took questions from over 3,000 conservative attendees, firing a single bullet through his neck. Kirk's political ally Donald Trump later confirmed that the Turning Point USA founder had died.

The high-profile murder severely divided the US, with right-leaning voters expressing their devastation while some liberals pointed out the long list of controversial beliefs Kirk held before he died.

For reference, this included that same-sex marriage and abortion were sins, that there was only two genders and that white privilege wasn't real. He also proudly supported Israel in the Gaza conflict, and advocated for gun rights in America.

These mindsets rubbed a number of onlookers up the wrong way, including 40-year-old The Housemaid actress Amanda Seyfried.

In the wake of his death, the Golden Globe winner commented, 'He was hateful', on a post that compiled some of Kirk's most controversial beliefs.

Seyfried received mass backlash a result of her remark, with critics accusing her of justifying Kirk's killing.

"We’re forgetting the nuance of humanity," she went on to hit back at these allegations.

This week, Seyfried stood by her verdict.

Speaking to Who What Wear, she insisted: "I’m not f**king apologising for that. I mean, for f**k's sake, I commented on one thing.

"I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I’m free to have an opinion, of course."

She went on to explain: "I can get angry about misogyny and racist rhetoric and also very much agree that Charlie Kirk’s murder was absolutely disturbing and deplorable in every way imaginable.

"No one should have to experience this level of violence."

The mother-of-two added: "This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings. Can we agree on that at least?"

Lastly, Seyfried went on to reiterate that her comments were hugely taken out of context.

"Thank God for Instagram," the Mamma Mia star. "I was able to give some clarity, and it was about getting my voice back because I felt like it had been stolen and re-contextualised - which is what people do, of course."
