Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner slammed Bob Iger over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, asking Friday where the leaders who will stand up to the “bullies” and defend Americans’ right to freedom of speech have gone.

“Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?,” Eisner, who served as Disney’s CEO from 2005 to 2015, said in an X post Friday.

“The ‘suspending indefinitely’ of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the chairman of the FCC’s aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation,” he went on. “Maybe the Constitution should have said, ‘Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.’”

At the end of his message he noted that “by-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny” — a jab at conservatives who continue to call Kimmel unfunny while making slights at his viewership.
