Disney was taken in a growing boycott while fans and celebrities canceled the subscriptions to Disney Plus and Hulu to protest.
The controversy started after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live Show after the host’s remarks on the set of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Many viewers have said that the company was silent the criticisms of former president Donald Trump, causing global anger.
The reaction quickly spread online with hashtags like #Canceldisney and #Cancelhulu tend to have displayed screenshots of their cancellations.
A large number of subscribers said they would not come back even if Disney reduced its prices, showing the depth of frustration.
Celebrities have added fuel to the movement, while Tatiana Maslany urged her Instagram followers to also cancel Disney services.
While Misha Collins confirmed on X that he had ended his subscription and Wil Wheaton encouraged a day of national cancellation, while Noah Centineo shared proof of his own cancellation on Instagram.
However, the decision to carry out the Kimmel program intervened after Nexstar Media refused to broadcast it on the ABC affiliates.
The president of the FCC, Brendan Carr, also criticized the remarks, which placed Disney under more damage. But instead of the soothing situation, the suspension has aroused stronger criticism from the defenders of freedom of expression, political commentators and entertainment fans.
In addition, industry experts have warned that pursuing cancellations could affect its streaming income.
The company has tried to win back customers with discounts, but subscribers have shown little interest.
The observers said that Disney’s reputation was now at stake, and many were waiting to see if the company would change its position or bring Kimmel back.
