After Jimmy Kimmel's Return, Roseanne Barr Lashes Out at Disney Over "Double Standard"

Kimmel's return followed a week-long suspension over comments on Trump and Charlie Kirk; Disney lost $4.4 billion amid protests and subscription cancellations, sparking double standard debates.

  • On September 23, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel returned to ABC after a near-week suspension, drawing 6.3 million viewers to the Burbank studio broadcast and online.
  • Disney-Owned ABC suspended the show on September 17, 2025, after Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk amid threats from FCC boss Brendan Carr.
  • Local affiliates including Sinclair kept the program off air, with Sinclair and Nexstar blocking roughly 20% of the country; Sinclair demanded an apology and donations to Turning Point USA for reinstatement.
  • Disney's stock fell over 2%, costing about $4.4 billion amid the controversy, while investor groups demanded internal records within five business days, warning of legal action over fiduciary concerns.
  • Former Roseanne star Roseanne Barr said the reinstatement exposed a double standard, recalling her 2018 firing by Disney and saying her career was ruined while mocking Jimmy Kimmel's 2,000 supporters.
