Actress Jamie Lee Curtis shared her reflections during a recent interview

on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, speaking about the tragic passing of

conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10 in Utah. Kirk, 31,

lost his life during a public event, and the FBI has confirmed that

the investigation into the incident is still ongoing. Curtis used the

opportunity to acknowledge both the sadness of the moment and the broader effects of violence in public life.

She expressed sympathy for Kirk’s family, noting that while she strongly

disagreed with his political views, he was still a father, husband,

and person deserving of compassion. Curtis described him as a “man of faith”

and said she hoped he felt spiritually connected in his final moments.

During the conversation, she accidentally referred to him as Charlie Crist but clarified it was an honest mistake.

Curtis also reflected on the emotional weight that such tragedies leave behind,

not only for the families but also for the public exposed to them.

She highlighted how repeated exposure to violent events and graphic

media can take a psychological toll, urging people to be mindful of

its long-term effects. For her, this experience served as a reminder

that humanity must remain at the center of national conversations.

Other public figures have also expressed condolences following Kirk’s death.

Actors Chris Pratt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jake Paul shared their support,

while former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama issued statements

condemning violence and calling for unity. Authorities have identified

22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect, and he remains in custody as the investigation continues.
