Melania Trump is calling for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired by ABC.
The First Lady posted a statement on Monday (April 27), days after the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host called her “an expectant widow” in a parody of a White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast.

She posted on her official X account, “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”
She continued, “People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.”
This is not the first time Jimmy has been a target of the White House.
Back in September, Trump praised Jimmy Kimmel Live being suspended in the post-Charlie Kirk killing aftermath, and later threatened to sue ABC when they returned the show to air.
He then called for Jimmy to be fired a few weeks later.
