Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney shared their experience of the temporary suspension of their show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on a recent podcast episode. The controversy began after Kimmel made comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which led to criticism from affiliates and ultimately, ABC’s decision to suspend the program.
During the episode, McNearney recalled how they broke the news to their children, who were confused when told that Jimmy had been suspended by President Trump. Their daughter burst into tears, and son asked if Trump was responsible for the suspension. The couple admitted that they didn’t know how to answer this question, as it raised more questions than answers.
McNearney also discussed how her family’s relationships have been strained due to her husband’s views on politics, particularly regarding President Donald Trump. She expressed her hurt and frustration when relatives refused to listen to her warnings about voting for Trump, choosing instead to respond with insults or silence.
