She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany urged fans to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions as Hollywood continues to respond to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air.
The 39-year-old actress jumped to her Instagram stories on Thursday to side with the comedian one day after his late night talk show was suspended ‘indefinitely’ by ABC following his remarks over Charlie Kirk.
The political influencer was fatally shot last week while speaking at Utah Valley University at the age of 31 — leaving behind his wife Erika and their two young children.
In his opening monologue on Monday, Kimmel insinuated that suspected shooter Tyler Robinson, 22, was Republican and that the ‘Maga gang’ was trying to ‘score political points’ over Kirk’s tragic passing.
Maslany uploaded a behind-the-scenes image as she seemingly filmed the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.
She then added text at the top which read: ‘Cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions.’

Other celebrities have come to Kimmel’s defense since Jimmy Kimmel Live! was taken off the air.
During his monologue on Monday, the star said the ‘MAGA gang’ was ‘desperately trying to characterize the kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.’
He insinuated that the suspected shooter was conservative — despite investigators stating he has far-left ideologies and was also in a romantic relationship with his transgender roommate.
Kimmel also took a jab at President Donald Trump, sarcastically remarking ‘how hard the president is taking this’ before showing a clip of him deflecting and talking about the White House’s ballroom construction when a reporter offered their condolences for the loss of his ‘friend.’
ABC will not be airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! ‘for the foreseeable future,’ a spokesman announced on Wednesday.
The network’s affiliate group, Nexstar, additionally shared that it ‘strongly objects’ to Kimmel’s comments and ‘will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.’
Ben Stiller jumped over to X to repost the news of ABC taking Kimmel off air and typed out: ‘This isn’t right.’
Singer John Legend shared a post by David Frum which read: ‘How dare you call us fascists just because our appointees threaten government retaliation against broadcast networks if their comedians don’t say what we want them to say.’

Jamie Lee Curtis — who recently made a tearful statement about Kirk — reposted a photo of Kimmel to her Instagram Story with a quote attributed to the comedian that read: ‘I don’t think anybody should be canceled. I really don’t.’
The quote comes from an April 2025 interview Kimmel did with Rolling Stone.
A day prior, Curtis broke down in tears as she mourned Kirk as a ‘man of faith’ and compared him to Jesus Christ in an appearance this week on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.
Shortly after the news of Kimmel’s suspension came to light, his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez and other staff were seen packing up and leaving the studio.
Rodriguez — who began appearing on the late night talk show in 2003 — was seen driving out of the Hollywood studio with people gathered nearby.
However, he evaded questions about Kimmel being pulled off the air by keeping his windows rolled up.

‘Democracy thrives when diverse points of view are expressed. The decision to suspend airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! is the type of suppression and retaliation that endangers everyone’s freedoms.’
The guild added, ‘SAG-AFTRA stands with all media artists and defends their right to express their diverse points of view, and everyone’s right to hear them.’
The WGA West and East also shared, ‘The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other – to disturb, even – is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied.
‘Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.’

They added, ‘As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent.
‘If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn’t have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to – painful as it may be at times – is the freeing agreement to disagree.
‘Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.’
Trump had a differing opinion and shared on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, ‘Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED.
‘Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.’
Trump concluded with: ‘That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT.’
The US President referred to late night talk show host Stephen Colbert whose show was cancelled back in July by CBS.
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will come to an end next year in May 2026.
Despite the cancellation, Colbert notably won an Emmy over the weekend for Outstanding Talk Series. The comedian recently mocked Trump on Tuesday for not having one of the awards as he kicked off the episode.
