The murder of Charlie Kirk shook the entire world. Among many left heartbroken was actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who broke down in tears when speaking about the horrific incident. But while many had empathy with her, others were furious over some of the things she said. Now, Jamie Lee Curtis has broken her silence over the backlash.
Just days after Charlie Kirk passed away, Jamie Lee Curtis was one of many who spoke out on her feelings about the horrific murder.
Appearing on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, the actress said that while she “disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say,” she also believed Kirk was “a man of faith.”
“I’m going to bring something up with you just because it’s front of mind,” Curtis said. “I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith.”
Jamie Lee Curtis’ voice changed in emotion before continuing: “I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith. Even though I find 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.”
Through tears, Jamie Lee Curtis spoke of 9/11 and the videos of Kirk getting shot, both of which have been published on social media.
