The news that Disney lost as much as 4 billion dollars in market value after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel caused an avalanche of reaction among US citizens, as well as the rest of the world. The popular host was suspended indefinitely after direct comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel believes that the Republicans, i.e. the MAGA movement, are trying to score political points by putting the emphasis on Kirk's murder.
His statements did not meet with positive reactions among supporters of the MAGA movement, who immediately raised their voices.
The Federal Communications Commission accused Kimmel of misleading the public, and soon after came the suspension.
Famous faces of the political and sports scene reacted to the latest events, including Martina Navratilova, tennis legend, who could not remain deaf to everything.
She reacted to Kimmel's suspension with a short reaction on X.
"Oops."- she wrote.
Although Navratilova is not a supporter of Trump, nor she agrees with his policies, Martina stresses that political violence is not okay.
"Political violence is never ok. This is an abhorrent act from an abhorrent individual. It is a sad day in many ways as this kind of stuff is way too common….," Martina Navratilova wrote.
Martina Navratilova's views
Navratilova is also known as someone who constantly criticizes Donald Trump and his political views. In addition to her passion for tennis, she is very interested in world events, often resentful and frustrated by the moves of powerful leaders.
US citizens reacted to Kimmel's suspension by boycotting Disney, while stressing that their right to free speech had been abrogated.
Immediately after that, the prices of the well-known company's shares fell by 1.9%, more precisely by around 4 billion dollars of the market value.
In the end, this caused the reaction of the famous tennis player, who is obviously delighted with these outcomes.
