Jimmy Kimmel will return to air on Tuesday after his show was suspended following comments he made about the death of Charlie Kirk, Disney has said in a statement released in the last few moments.

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” the statement says.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

    I don’t care if you want to gatekeep your torrent sites for only people who conform to your specified kind of corporate nice-speak.

    I refuse to allow a fucking billionaire, or an emotionally fragile person who doesn’t like reading naughty words on the internet to tell me how to talk.

    I’m justifying my response to a useless emoji, because apparently down votes here are only a “I disagree” button rather than its intended purpose.

      Man, some people will do anything rather than accept that their behavior can have justified social consequences.

      Fuck off pal. I can tell you if you spoke to me like this in person you get a smack in the face.

      Basic civility isn’t corporate nice speak you silly cunt.

      I’m asking genuinely - are you doing alright? I can’t promise I can be helpful, but if you need someone to talk to I would be willing to try.
