Comedian Kathy Griffin Speaks Out on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Suspension
One person issuing a blunt response to the decision is Kathy Griffin. The comedian used Instagram to plead for people to rally behind Kimmel during this time.
"Please, take it from me, it's very important to have Jimmy Kimmel's back right now,” she expressed.
Griffin explained that the best way to help is to speak out and spend your money wisely. “Be vocal. Be an ideological consumer. Money is all their crowd cares about,” the comedian ended her message.

Kathy Griffin Gets Fans Riled Up With Jimmy Kimmel Message
The comments section was filled with responses to Griffin, encouraging people to stand by Kimmel.
“And he was only one of few that stuck by Kathy when everything went down. Protect Jimmy at all costs!!” read a comment. Another comment declared, “Do we boycott Disney, Hulu & ABC? Anyone else? I'm game.”
Boycotting was mentioned more than once, with a different comment stating, “Boycott ABC and all its affiliated donors. We stand with Jimmy Kimmel.”
“When canceling your Hulu/Disney subscription, select ‘Other’ as the reason and write in: 'In support of Jimmy Kimmel,'” said one comment. Another comment revealed, “I immediately cancelled Disney+.”
Other comments included, “I've cancelled Hulu and Disney. YouTube TV is not owned by them, has better prices and Sunday Ticket!” and “I called ABC to complain, the customer service rep said I was her 15 call that hour. Let’s get 1 million calls to ABC in the next week."
Not everyone was on board with Griffin, though. One comment declared, “We are all Charlie Kirk,” while another blasted Griffin, telling her she was in the wrong because “Free speech ends when you celebrate death of someone who promotes free speech.”
Griffin herself is no stranger to controversy or facing the music for her actions. The comedian has long been a critic of President Donald Trump.
In 2017, Griffin shared a video of herself on social media holding a severed head that resembled the president. Despite her saying she was merely mocking him, CNN fired Griffin as co-host of its New Year's Eve show with Anderson Cooper.
The comedian also lost several endorsement deals, and her comedy tour was canceled over the footage.
What is happening with Kimmel has many speaking out. Ben Stiller went viral for his response, and Melissa Gilbert got people talking with her short, but effective, message.
