"Actors who have worked for Disney are urging people to boycott the media and entertainment giant after its ABC network suspended comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show over remarks he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The internet was already lighting up with users sharing screenshots of canceled subscriptions to Disney-owned streaming services or canceled vacations at Disney properties. Protestors have also appeared outside the corporate headquarters in Burbank, Calif., while angry Disney+ and Hulu users have flooded social media accounts and customer service pages."
"Tatiana Maslany, who starred in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, posted a behind-the-scenes image from the show on Instagram with text overlaid that says "cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!""
"That follows other talent threatening to turn away from Disney. Writer and producer Damon Lindelof, whose show Lost ran on ABC, expressed his solidarity with Kimmel and said he hopes the suspension of his show is lifted soon. "If it isn't, I can't in good conscience work for the company that imposed it," he added."
Actors who have worked for Disney are urging a boycott of Disney-owned platforms and properties after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show for remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Social media users posted canceled subscription and vacation screenshots while protesters gathered outside Disney's Burbank headquarters. Celebrities voiced support for Kimmel, with Tatiana Maslany posting a She-Hulk behind-the-scenes image telling followers to cancel subscriptions and Marisa Tomei reposting calls to unsubscribe and boycott. Writer-producer Damon Lindelof warned he could not work for the company if the suspension stands. Streaming and theme-park boycotts could harm Disney's recent earnings.
