Actor James Woods Exposes Hypocrisy of the Jimmy Kimmel Cancellation
Hollywood was thrown into chaos after news broke that “Jimmy Kimmel Live” had been suspended “indefinitely.” While many celebrities expressed outrage and defended the late-night host, actor James Woods offered a very different perspective.Woods drew attention to what he saw as hypocrisy surrounding cancel culture. He referenced the time when Twitter’s Jack Dorsey banned President Donald Trump from the platform during an election cycle. “Remember when Twitter’s Jack Dorsey banned the President of the United States from the world’s biggest forum during an election? Screw Jimmy Kimmel,” Woods wrote online.
To drive his point home, Woods linked to a 2023 Rolling Stone article titled “Why Cancel Culture is Good for Democracy” by Ernest Owens. Woods used the article to highlight how the rules liberals once championed are now working against them.
He argued that those who once embraced accountability through cancel culture now reject it when they’re the ones facing consequences. “Those who fear cancel culture may claim they fear suppression of speech, but it’s accountability that they want to avoid,” Owens wrote in defense of the practice.
Clay Travis reminded followers that Roseanne Barr was fired by Disney for a single joke on Twitter, despite her show being the top-rated on television. Gina Carano was dropped from a blockbuster streaming series for a social media post. Megyn Kelly also faced career fallout after voicing her opinions. At the time, many on the Left cheered these firings.
