Disney Shareholders Demand Kimmel Files—Because Suspensions Need Paperwork

In a plot twist worthy of prime-time drama, Disney shareholders including the American Federation of Teachers and Reporters Without Borders sent a sternly worded letter on September 23, 2025, demanding internal Disney records about the brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, the same Jimmy who had ABC unplug his late-night show after FCC Chair Brendan Carr wagged a finger for Kimmel’s biting comments about Charlie Kirk. Shareholders suspect Disney’s board put political diapers over profit playbooks, which sent Disney shares down 3.3% between September 17 and 23. Despite ABC’s non-committal affiliates, Nexstar and Sinclair, refusing to confirm airing Kimmel’s show, his comeback circus raked 6.26 million viewers and crushed YouTube records. The lawyers even threatened court action if records aren't handed over in under five business days, because apparently this is not just showbiz, it’s shareholder subpoena binge-watch season.
