The cancellations followed widespread coverage of the suspension and reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel Live, after Disney temporarily pulled the show amid controversy over remarks made about the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Many subscribers reportedly reacted negatively to Disney’s handling of the situation.
