The ABC network finds itself at the centre of a public dispute involving the Trumps and Jimmy Kimmel. First Lady Melania Trump has criticised Kimmel, calling his 'expectant widow' joke a 'hateful and violent rhetoric.' Meanwhile, President Donald Trump encouraged the network to sack Kimmel.
Despite a direct call to terminate one of its most prominent hosts, the broadcasting giant appears to be maintaining its current roster. According to an insider, ABC is keeping Kimmel despite the first couple's call-out.
