Kristin Chenoweth’s Charlie Kirk tribute wasn’t popular with fans.
The Broadway star teared up on Thursday while speaking to NY1’s Frank DiLella about her controversial Instagram comment sharing how “upset” she felt by the conservative commentator’s assassination.
When the reporter brought up the “mixed reactions,” the actress, 57, replied, “Mixed? You’re being kind.”
DiLella mentioned Chenoweth’s “big LGBTQ+ fan base,” asking what she hoped to “convey” by posting about her “heartbreak” over Kirk, who “openly opposed same-sex marriage [and] trans rights.”
The Tony winner immediately began tearing up and apologized for her “emotions get[ting] involved” in the interview.
“I saw what happened online with my own eyes and I had a human moment of reflection right then,” Chenoweth said,
