Kristin Chenoweth is speaking out after her reaction to the killing of Charlie Kirk sparked mixed reactions, including some outrage among the Broadway star's fanbase.
The actress and singer, best known for embodying good witch Glinda in the original stage production of "Wicked," appeared on NY1 Sept. 18 and discussed the online fervor whipped up by an Instagram comment she shared in the wake of Kirk's death.
"I saw what happened online with my own eyes. And I had a human moment of reflection," Chenoweth, 57, told journalist Frank DiLella. "Right then, I came to understand that my comment hurt some folks and that hurt me."

"It's no secret that I have been – that I'm a Christian, that I'm a person of faith. It's also no secret that I am an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, and for some, that doesn't go together," she continued, after choking up slightly. "But for me, it always has. And it always will."
