Rosie O’Donnell Says ABC Nixed Epstein Survivors From ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
O'Donnell said the network blocked her planned interview with Epstein survivors, and she later posted a clip that she said was filmed in a few hours.
- Comedian and actress Rosie O'Donnell claims ABC rejected a segment featuring Jeffrey Epstein survivors during her guest-hosting stint on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last month.
- O'Donnell's plan followed Attorney General Todd Blanche's assertion that men accused of abuse might not be charged, prompting her to amplify survivor voices after he called the Justice Department's handling 'corrupt.'
- On September 3, O'Donnell independently released an Instagram video featuring eight survivors dressed in white singing Helen Reddy's 'I Am Woman,' stating she wanted to support those with 'very little support.'
- While ABC has not responded to O'Donnell's claims, she announced plans to produce individual stories for each survivor, stating, 'I will do a segment on each of those women, up close and personal.'
- These claims emerge amid ongoing legal disputes between ABC and the FCC, including a lawsuit filed by the network alleging the commission is waging an 'extraordinary assault' on free-speech rights.
