400 Stars Condemn Disney Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Over Speech

Over 400 Hollywood and Broadway stars, including Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, and Jennifer Aniston, have signed an open letter with the American Civil Liberties Union condemning the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show following his controversial remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The letter decries government threats to freedom of speech and warns against silencing voices through retaliation, emphasizing that such actions undermine constitutional rights and the foundational values of the nation. The suspension occurred after ABC-affiliated stations refused to air Kimmel's show, leading Disney to pull the show just before its scheduled broadcast, sparking widespread debate on free speech. While many stars have vocally supported Kimmel and called for defending free speech, reports of Adam Sandler condemning Kimmel's remarks have been debunked, with no credible evidence confirming Sandler's alleged criticism. The collective call from artists, entertainers, and the ACLU urges all Americans to stand together in protecting free expression against governmental and corporate pressures.
