Fans of television presenter Jimmy Kimmel and residents of Hollywood have reacted against Melania Trump's request to have Kimmel fired from the American Broadcasting Company and Walt Disney Co. The request came after a monologue Kimmel delivered in a parody segment, just days before the incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned Kimmel's comments, calling them 'disgusting,' especially the reference to Melania Trump as a 'pregnant widow.' This situation has generated controversy and sparked support for Kimmel from fans who believe that his humor is part of free speech.
