Hollywood Backs Jimmy Kimmel After Show Suspension

Jimmy Kimmel is receiving widespread support from Hollywood after ABC suspended his show. Writers and actors unions are condemning the move as an "attack on freedom of speech."

The decision by ABC, owned by Walt Disney, followed Kimmel's opening monologue regarding the Charlie Kirk killing. Nexstar Media, with 32 ABC affiliates, is stopping the show's broadcast, while the FCC is threatening investigations.

The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA unions defended Kimmel. Celebrities like Ben Stiller have also expressed their support. The American Federation of Musicians denounced censorship.

The suspension comes after Kimmel's comments on the exploitation of Kirk's murder. Kimmel himself has not made a statement regarding the suspension.

Hollywood emphasizes that freedom of expression is fundamental and opposes the silencing of creators.
