Cancellations Keep Growing as Fans and Stars Urge Disney Boycott
ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after controversial remarks on a fatal shooting, sparking a boycott petition with nearly 60,000 signatures demanding the show's return.
- ABC, a Disney-owned network, announced on September 17 that it would indefinitely halt the broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live! following backlash over Kimmel’s remarks concerning the deadly attack on Charlie Kirk.
- The suspension followed harsh criticism from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who condemned Kimmel's remarks made on September 15 and threatened regulatory action.
- The decision led to widespread backlash including social media boycotts of Disney and ABC, cancellation of Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, and a Change.org petition with nearly 60,000 signatures by September 19.
- A YouGov poll surveying 3,010 U.S. adults on September 19 found 42% strongly disapproved ABC's suspension of Kimmel's show, highlighting significant public division over free speech issues.
- The backlash threatens Disney's streaming revenue and reputation, while observers watch to see if mounting pressure will lead to Kimmel's reinstatement or corporate negotiation.
