Jamie Lee Curtis hits back after backlash over Charlie Kirk comment
Jamie Lee Curtis is clearing the air after her remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death did not land as she expected.
Back in September, the actress appeared on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast and commented on the 31-year-old media personality’s tragic death.
“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 to his faith,” she said at the time.
“Even though his ideas were abhorrent to me,” she added, “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.”
However, the Oscar winner faced online backlash over her remarks.
Now, during a recent chat with Variety, Curtis clapped back at the criticism noting, saying, “An excerpt of it mistranslated what I was saying as I wished him well, like I was talking about him in a very positive way, which I wasn’t. I was simply talking about his faith in God.”
She went on to say, “So it was a mistranslation, which is a pun, but not.”
“In the binary world today, you cannot hold two ideas at the same time: I cannot be Jewish and totally believe in Israel’s right to exist and at the same time reject the destruction of Gaza. You can’t say that, because you get vilified for having a mind that says, ‘I can hold both those thoughts. I can be contradictory in that way,'” she added.
It is pertinent to mention that Kirk was a conservative advocate, who founded a group named Turning Point USA.
He was shot dead during a public speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Kate Middleton pushes for modern monarchy free from Andrew controversies
Kate Middleton is supporting her husband Prince William as they are determined to distance themselves from Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
According to royal sources, the Prince and Princess of Wales have urged King Charles to make changes, insisting that the monarchy must move forward without “favoritism or fresh controversy.”
The King, who continues treatment for cancer, is said to back their stance but hopes to handle the matter discreetly.
Speaking with Radar Online, a royal aide shared, “William and Kate are completely aligned on this.”
“They’ve told the King that things have to change – the monarchy needs to move forward without favoritism or fresh controversy.
“In their view, Andrew and Sarah staying at Royal Lodge just keeps the family stuck in old scandals.”
Palace aides further revealed that the Waleses are increasingly taking charge as Charles scales back his duties.
“The Waleses are taking charge and drawing clear lines,” they said. “Kate, in particular, is done with all the turmoil.
“She’s focused on shielding her family and securing the monarchy’s future – it’s about preserving what little credibility the institution still has.”
“She’s endured such a difficult year and continues to show incredible resilience,” the insider continued.
“But watching these same scandals resurface while she’s trying to recover has left her completely drained. All she wants now is for the family to finally move forward.”

The ‘A Merry Little Ex-Mas’ star not that she is looking to “carve out time” more time for her domestic personality in her busy schedule
“I burn the candle so hard,” she remarked.
The Bugonia actress went on to say, “What I guess I’m always trying to figure out is, ‘What do normal people do? How much rest do normal people get?’ And then try to make that implemented into my life because I work so much, so crazy, I’m always traveling. I’m a machine.”
As the actress wrapped her filming of the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film and went straight to the set of Irish Blood to audition actors being a producer, Silverstone admitted she has found relaxation for a while.
“I was kept a little bit torn between everything so I wasn’t as relaxed. I was more pulled in a lot of directions,” she revealed.
“(I am) really, really loving the mornings where I wake up and get my son off to school, make his breakfast and his lunch. Then I go on a walk with my dog, and then I work all day. It’s still busy, but it’s not insanity.”
It is pertinent to mention that Silverstone is mom to son Bear whom she shares with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki.
