By now, we're sure you're aware of what's been happening with Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, Jimmy Kimmel. To bring you up to speed, he recently opened an episode of his show with a monologue saying that the "MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them."

Kimmel went on to accuse those on the right of "doing everything they can to score political points from it" and "working very hard to capitalise on the murder," before playing a clip of a reporter asking President Donald Trump how he was holding up after Kirk's murder.

When the Commander in Chief immediately pivoted to the subject of construction being done nearby for the White House's new ballroom, Kimmel joked that he'd entered "the fourth stage of grief: construction."

He later reminded viewers of rioters who, on 6 January 2021, "wanted to hang" Trump's first-term Vice President, Mike Pence, for certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election win. Soon after, an ABC spokesperson said Jimmy Kimmel Live! would "be pre-empted indefinitely," and it was later reported that Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the FCC, and an avid Trump supporter, threatened to "take action" against Disney and ABC.

Further pressure came from network operator NexStar, which operates more than 20 ABC affiliates (like Disney, it needs FCC approval for multi-billion dollar acquisitions). The backlash to Kimmel being taken off the air has been very vocal, especially as free speech in today's America is being called into question.

Many people, including former President Barack Obama, Watchmen actor Jean Smart, Severance director Ben Stiller, Frozen star Josh Gad, and Lanterns writer Damon Lindelof, have spoken out against the House of Mouse. Now, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Tatiana Maslany can be added to the list.

In an Instagram story, the Orphan Black star implored her 511,000 followers to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions in response to the decision to suspend Kimmel.

She did so while sharing what appears to be a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Maslany has already appeared relatively uninterested in returning to the MCU (Disney and Marvel Studios arguably didn't do enough to protect her from online trolls when the show launched), and this might just seal the deal.

There have been rumours about She-Hulk appearing in Avengers: Doomsday and/or Avengers: Secret Wars, but Maslany's status for both movies is very much TBD as we write this.

You can see a screenshot of Maslany's Instagram post below.

Actors commenting on real world events will never not be hilarious to me

UltimaRex - 9/19/2025, 5:50 AM

@SteviesRightFoo - they live on this planet too.

Do you think they magically disappear when you turn off the TV?

Thebronxknight - 9/19/2025, 5:51 AM

@SteviesRightFoo - They live in the same world you do.

HelloBoysImBack - 9/19/2025, 6:02 AM

@Thebronxknight - not the real world

WalletsClosed - 9/19/2025, 6:35 AM

@UltimaRex - No, but it makes no objective buisness sense to drive away potential audience members when you depend on that.

Urubrodi - 9/19/2025, 6:40 AM

@UltimaRex - Probably his point is that their opinion on political matters does not matter. They think that because of their popularity they can sway people to support their agenda, when their opinion matters as much as anyone else's. Plus, dividing your own audience when you depend on them is retarded and it's a quick way to be fired on that business.

@Urubrodi - "Probably his point is that their opinion on political matters does not matter.

Damn...talking about living inside a bubble. This is TATIANA MASLANY...not ANGELINA JOLIE. Stop pretending that every single actor gets millions of dollars in the industry.

Urubrodi - 9/19/2025, 6:59 AM

@Irregular - lol In what part of my comment was I discussing her pay, was clearly focusing on her popularity. You don't need to be the most well paid actor in Hollywood to be popular. Yes, she does not have the same fanbase as Jolie, but a lot of people know who she is (like everybody in this site for example). It's not like she's some unknown upcoming actor. She has her fanbase. And I would find very unlikely that her entire fanbase is composed of liberals for example.

The main point of my comment was that if you are in the entertainment business you probably want as many people as possible to watch your work (simple logic) and you probably don't want to piss off one of the main studios in the world that could offer you future jobs (simple logic). Or do you think the higher ups at Disney are gonna be happy with this? I definitely won't be expecting her as She-Hulk after this lol

Apophis71 - 9/19/2025, 7:04 AM

@Urubrodi - Maybe but they are still equaly entitled to HAVE and VOICE an opinion as anyone else regardless if we agree with their opinion or feel their voice carries more or less weight.

In regard to the ramifications of voicing opinions, maybe they feel exercising their freedom of speech is worth the potential career consequences, or maybe a tad short sighted or a combo of both but we kinda shouldn't be on the camp of telling people to not voice opinions realy regardless if it is any of us anon's here on this board or some actor he posts on instagram a view regardless of on the left or right politicaly or indeed if we agree or disagree with their opinion.

Urubrodi - 9/19/2025, 7:11 AM

@Apophis71 - Oh she can say whatever she wants, don't disagree there, but as it just happened with Kimmel there are always consequences. Best case scenario they will lose part of their followers/fanbase, worst case scenario will lose their job or have are harder time getting future work. So sure she is free to post or say whatever, if she doesn't mind the repercussion go for it, but... definitely not a smart choice career wise (especially considering that the likelihood that people are actually gonna listen to her and all leave Disney+ is quite low).

skyshark03191 - 9/19/2025, 7:18 AM

@UltimaRex - no but don’t for one minute think their lives as the same as ours. They don’t get to tell us how to do things.

MonkeyBot - 9/19/2025, 5:51 AM

No, i dont think i will

FinnishDude - 9/19/2025, 5:54 AM

The people usually screaming about "cancel culture" and censorship are being weirdly OK with this

HelloBoysImBack - 9/19/2025, 6:01 AM

@FinnishDude - defamation?

CorndogBurglar - 9/19/2025, 6:32 AM

@FinnishDude - Yeah, because those people just spent many years watching Conservatives get cancelled and fired for things they said while Denocrats sat there and did nothing. In fact, they supported it.

Its bad no matter what. But its hard to care when it starts happening to the people who were doing it them for so long.

Apophis71 - 9/19/2025, 7:22 AM

@CorndogBurglar - I never support the idea of firing someone for airing a view regardless if I agree or don't that it was warranted.

I've simply been around long enough to know that regardless our view on it freedom of speech never means freedom from consequence and if you say summut that annoys your boss or violates corporate policy they can terminate your employment and not a hell of a lot anyone can do about that beyond take them to court for unfair dismissal (which is costly and low success rate). Just as I know that if I say the wrong thing to the wrong person on the street I may end up with a broken nose, knowing that doesn't mean I think it is OK for someone to punch me just cos I was foolish, simply know that is the reality we live in :D

So, all in all I find it hard to worry if someone whose opinion I agree with or don't gets canned from TV cos of summut they said, don't support cancel culture, simply accept it is what it is and find something else to watch (not that I watched Kimmel's show beyond the odd relevant clip shown here from time to time, unsure if it was even aired in the UK to be honest other than streaming on youtube or whatever).

The only part of all of this case that could be of concern, and would be the same if the R's and the D's were reversed, is the possibility that members of an administration pressured companies to can a show directly or indirectly as the one thing we shouldn't support (R or D) is it being the government deciding what is or isn't shown or said on TV. We can change channel if we don't like what is on TV, if enough do a show will be dropped, that is the way it should be not members of an administration determing what is OK or not.

HelloBoysImBack - 9/19/2025, 6:01 AM

anyone who gets influenced by actors are mentally ill

HashTagSwagg - 9/19/2025, 6:34 AM

@HelloBoysImBack - I was influenced not to watch The Marvels because of Brie Larson

fosdog - 9/19/2025, 7:06 AM

@HelloBoysImBack - I wholeheartedly agree. Ppl think that just because these ppl become entertainers/movie stars that they now know everything and we should worship the ground they walk on. I have always hated that. I have never wanted a celebrities autograph or a picture with any of them. I want them to do what they do best, just act. I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars to visit you at a comic con panel or pay hundreds of dollars for an autographed picture, just act. Their crap is the same color as mine and smells bad just like mine. They are only ppl who are good at their craft, nothing more.

Thing94 - 9/19/2025, 6:09 AM

Bwhahahaha!!! The left being cancelled now is the greatest thing ever. How does it feel? LOL

CorndogBurglar - 9/19/2025, 6:29 AM

@Thing94 - Seriously, why are Democrats suddenly worried about free speech? I didn't see them getting mad when it was Conservatives getting cancelled and fired.

Thing94 - 9/19/2025, 7:21 AM

@CorndogBurglar - Because they're typical losers as usual, they had the political power for a while now they can suck on it for a long time. Welcome to the new cancelled liberals

CorndogBurglar - 9/19/2025, 6:22 AM

Where were all these actors when Gina Carano got fired for things she said?

Where were they when Roseanne got fired for what she said?

These people suddenly care about free speech when its Democrats getting fired?

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 6:33 AM

Im nothing America, but what Kimmel said was hardly controversial or deserving of this outcome. He didnt even insult Kirk, but was another jab at trump.

CorndogBurglar - 9/19/2025, 6:40 AM

@UnderBelly - I actually agree, partially. NONE of these people should be getting fired. Not the Conservatives either for the past 10 years or so.

But Kimmel did say something. He said something actually kind of dangerous. It wasn't his jokes at Trump that caused this. It was the fact that he was trying to paint Charlie Kirk's shooter as a Right Winger when he's CLEARLY a Left Winger.

And he did this after we already had a ton of information about the guy. He was spreading misinformation. He was outright lying in an attempt to get people to believe Conservatives were responsible.

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 7:06 AM

@CorndogBurglar - But he didn't say he was a right or a left winger, he said the right had been characterizing him as anything other THAN a right winger. Regardless of who he was actually aligned with, Kimmel's only saying the right is trying to distance themselves from the perp and that it's them saying he's on the left.

I don't see the deomcrats throwing the same kind of mud?

But i'm not an American or understand the politics, so i could be wrong.

MaxPaint - 9/19/2025, 7:08 AM

@UnderBelly - "Im nothing America, but what Kimmel said was hardly controversial or deserving of this outcome"

That should apply for Charlie Kirk as well.

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 7:14 AM

@MaxPaint - Where was it was said by Kimmel or myself that it wasn't?

His death is a tragedy none the less. i didn't see Kimmel minimalizing this.

ProudPatriot76 - 9/19/2025, 7:17 AM

@UnderBelly - people aren’t killed over a big fairytale book like you claim. Instead, people are killed into silence over truth. You’ll find out one day. Hope you’re ready

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 7:28 AM

@ProudPatriot76 - WTF you on about? what fairytale book? what did i claim?

If you're going to say something don't skirt around it.

Urubrodi - 9/19/2025, 7:30 AM

@UnderBelly - Well let's be honest the likelihood of the guy not being a left winger is incredibly low, so to use this TV show as a platform to imply the possibility that he is not feels nothing more than him using a very tragic death to take another jab at Trump and the right in general. That wasn't the moment for that. Like why even discuss politics in a talk show in the first place, he could have just focused in entertaining people, hist actual job... The employer is not obligated to agree with his views. You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences lol

MaxPaint - 9/19/2025, 7:32 AM

@UnderBelly - "His death is a tragedy none the less. i didn't see Kimmel minimalizing this."

No, but he trivialize it and use it as excuse to make a "witty" political remark. So yeah, he did minimalize it for his own benefit. Completely out of touch and selfish.

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 7:35 AM

@Urubrodi - Probably the most well reasoned response I've had, but he didn't imply he wasn't or was, he suggested that the right were going out of their way to claim he wasn't aligned to them.

And he didn't need to make fun of Trump directly, he showed a clip of Trump showing how 'saddened' he was with the loss. So Trump was kind of making an ass of himself. I'm sure the right and the left can both agree that he really showed no empathy in that clip for his apparant dear friend.

UnderBelly - 9/19/2025, 7:41 AM

@MaxPaint - "No, but he trivialize it and use it as excuse to make a "witty" political remark. So yeah, he did minimalize it for his own benefit. Completely out of touch and selfish."

In the context that he used it to show how 'saddened' Trump was with the loss wasn't really out of touch. He was displaying how Tump was making an ass of himself all by himself.

But that's just how i viewed it. Obviously other's have their own opinions.

WalletsClosed - 9/19/2025, 6:34 AM

You know what, I agree with her. Boycott Disney+, including her own rotten show. Have these people eat each other alive.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

Jaspion - 9/19/2025, 6:38 AM

So now conservatives support cancel culture and are against freedom of speech?

CorndogBurglar - 9/19/2025, 6:42 AM

@Jaspion - Conservatives have spent the last decade getting cancelled and fired for the same thing. Its hard to care when it starts happening to the same people that was doing it to them for so long.

Vigor - 9/19/2025, 7:26 AM

@CorndogBurglar - they were canceled by the court of public opinion
Kimmel was canceled by trump

There's a distinct and legal difference

Urubrodi - 9/19/2025, 6:42 AM

Well I guess it's safe to say She-Hulk is not gonna be on Doomsday lol... If she had any plan on going back to the role then she is just retarded
