Friends' star Jennifer Aniston has spoken out regarding the recent suspension of the late-night talk show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) and its parent company, Walt Disney Company. After the temporary suspension, Kimmel returned to the air and issued an apology to Charlie Kirk’s family. Jennifer Aniston, among several public figures, has now added her voice to the ongoing debate about freedom of expression and the current political climate in the United States.In an interview with Elle, Aniston said, "Unthinkable things are happening. It’s very dangerous and very unfortunate. But at the end of the day, we’re the viewers." She emphasised the influence of audiences, stating, "We subscribe to these networks and streaming services, so it really comes down to the people and their voices. All those subscription cancellations spoke volumes."Kimmel’s original comments that sparked the controversy included references to the "MAGA gang" and accusations that individuals were "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," and attempting to "score political points from it."Following the incident, Aniston called for less division and more unity among Americans. She remarked, "I know we don’t agree on everything, and that is the beauty of this country, but GOOD LORD aren’t you tired of this negativity towards each other? The intimidation and constant threats to those who do not think the same as the other? Let’s please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy – and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us."Aniston also urged the public to participate in the electoral process, stating, "We are so lucky we get to VOTE and this election is in our hands! We only have one week until Election Day so talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors and let’s find our way back to each other with respect, common cause, and LOVE.".preferred-source-banner{ margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom:10px;}Her recent statements build on her earlier endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. At that time, Aniston shared, "Hi friends. Today not only did I vote for access to health care, for reproductive freedom, for equal rights, for safe schools, and for a fair economy, but also for SANITY and HUMAN DECENCY. Please remember that whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your VOTE matters."The suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and the responses from public figures such as Jennifer Aniston have contributed to ongoing conversations about the intersection of politics, entertainment, and civic engagement.- EndsPublished By: Ritika SrivastavaPublished On: Nov 13, 2025Also Read | Miranda, Andy reunite after 20 years in Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser, film out in MayTrending Reel
