Molly McNearney, executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, criticized Donald Trump as “thin-skinned.” Further, Molly, wife of Jimmy Kimmel, warned it’s a “fragile time for freedom.” Earlier this year, executives suspended Jimmy’s show after he mocked the President’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death.
Donald Trump was called out by Molly McNearney
Molly gave a keynote speech at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Breakfast on December 3. The producer also used the opportunity to criticize Trump for being – to paraphrase – a little over sensitive.
She started her 10-minute address by commenting on the First Amendment. She said: “I’ve been asked to speak about freedom of speech, and I have to be honest. I naively assumed it was a guarantee in this country. Until September 16, 2025. It’s something that I took for granted, something I thought I’d always have. Like my period. Did you guys know that those just stop? Your period stops. And it turns out your freedom in this country can too.”
Continuing on the subject of her husband’s suspension in September, she said: “We lose our freedom when we are scared and we are distracted. I have been very consumed by both. I watched a show, co-workers, friends and the man I love be put on ‘indefinite suspension’ after our thin-skinned president asked for his removal. It is a fragile time for freedom.”
She added: “This is exactly how we lose our freedom: With perimenopause. No. If anything, perimenopause rage is going to save us and get us all our freedoms back. Fear is contagious. But the good news is, so is bravery.”
Trump previously praised ABC’s decision to suspend the show, saying: “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.”
