Late night host Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly not taking the news of his show being take off the air very well.
Kimmel is reportedly “f***ing livid” with network ABC’s decision to take him down indefinitely after he lied about the motivations of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, branding him a supporter of President Donald Trump despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
The New York Post relayed comments made by a source to the U.K.’s Daily Mail who said this was the “last straw.”
Kimmel is now “actively looking” to get out of his contract before ABC can fire him.
“Jimmy is pissed over the decision to suspend him and the show and he isn’t going to take this lightly, as he is actively looking for ways to get out of his contract,” the source said.
Another source added that they’ve “never seen Kimmel this angry.”
The clip of Kimmel’s lie about the shooter is currently making the rounds on social media platform X.
