The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has been bombarded with irate emails - but it’s not for anything the local broadcaster did.
Instead, ABC in Australia has been mistakenly targeted by furious Jimmy Kimmel fans, upset over his recent suspension in the United States.
The drama began last week when Kimmel, during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! made controversial remarks about the Charlie Kirk assassination and the suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson.
This commentary stirred backlash, resulting in the US ABC Network – a completely separate entity from Australia’s public broadcaster – suspending Kimmel’s show.
Confused viewers, however, misdirected their anger at ABC in Australia.
"I will NEVER watch ABC again — Free speech is gone. Go Jimmy Kimmel!" one fan wrote.
