Jamie Lee Curtis was featured on the most recent episode of “WTF With Marc Maron.” During the discussion, she spoke about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, noting that although she didn’t agree with his principles, his death was tragic.
“I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say, but I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected with his faith,” she said.
The 66-year-old actress got so emotional that she began to cry. Sniffing through tears, she called Kirk a “man of faith” and hoped that his faith served as a source of comfort for him in his final moments.
“Even though I find what he—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,” Curtis added.
Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. He spent his last moments discussing and debating with college students while on his American Comeback Tour.
The Academy Award winner expressed concern over the long-term effects of seeing Kirk’s execution. She noted that people are now “numb” to it and don’t seem to understand how the footage will “psychologically” affect them.
While she can’t stop the footage from being circulated, Curtis said that she is not interested in watching it. “I don’t ever want to see this footage of this man being shot,” she said.

Fans online rained down the heat on Curtis for her show of emotion. One dismissed the two-time Golden Globe award winner’s emotions, writing, “This woman is always on the wrong side of history. Always lame & annoying.”
One sarcastic comment read, “Everyone wants to be emotional lol,” while another fan added, “Her talent for inserting herself in topics that don’t even concern her is astonishing.”
Other fans noted that Curtis’ child, who is trans, would surely feel hurt seeing her defend Kirk, who was publicly anti-trans.
“Jamie has a trans child, I wonder how they feel about their months celebrating the transphobic Charlie Kirk,” one fan noted.
An enraged fan wrote that the film producer was once again spewing “toxic bullsh-t and sympathizing with Nazis.” The fan also added that they were not surprised by the “Freaky Friday” actress’s actions, noting that she’s “likely” to behave that way.
