People are still boycotting Disney+ and Hulu after ABC cancelled Jimmy Kimmel’s show on September 17th.
As a fan, it’s been crazy seeing the reaction to everything! People are really upset and are now boycotting Disney – that’s ABC’s parent company – and it’s already having an impact. When they announced *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was paused, a lot of us started cancelling our Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions to show our displeasure. I’ve seen so many screenshots online of people cancelling, and they’re using hashtags like #CancelDisney, #CancelDisneyPlus, and #CancelHulu to spread the word.
Jimmy Kimmel’s show was taken off the air after he made a remark about Charlie Kirk’s death during the program.
Here is what Kimmel said on the show:
Over the weekend, things reached a new low as supporters of Donald Trump rushed to distance themselves from the person accused of attacking Charlie Kirk, and attempted to exploit the situation for political gain.
Following criticism from Brendan Carr, who leads the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), ABC removed episodes of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* from its broadcast schedule. This decision came after Nexstar Media, a major ABC affiliate group, announced it would no longer air the show. The FCC regulates television, radio, and other communication services.
This is shockingly dishonest behavior. There’s a deliberate attempt in certain circles to mislead the American public about a very important and newsworthy event that is clearly in the public interest.
Companies can address concerns about John Oliver’s reporting, or the FCC may need to take further action, according to Commissioner Carr. It’s a choice between voluntary changes and potential government intervention.
Celebrities weigh in on the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel and the cancellation of Disney+
This one choice led thousands of Disney fans to call for a boycott, arguing that their right to free speech had been restricted. In response, many people canceled their subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu as a way to show their disapproval.
Okay, so it’s not just regular fans who are upset about ABC’s call – a lot of people *in* the industry are speaking out too. Damon Lindelof, the guy who created *Lost*, actually said he won’t work with Disney until *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* comes back. And Tatiana Maslany, you know, She-Hulk from Disney+? She’s been telling everyone to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, *and* ESPN subscriptions. It’s getting pretty serious!
Pedro Pascal, a leading actor for Disney – and set to appear in new projects for both Star Wars and Marvel – has publicly supported Jimmy Kimmel.
