Noah Centineo Urges Fans to Cancel Disney+ Amid Kimmel Suspension
UPDATE: Noah Centineo has ignited a firestorm online after urging his followers to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions in response to Jimmy Kimmel’s recent suspension from ABC. The actor, 29, shared a screenshot of his own canceled subscription, pushing his 13.6 million followers to “save money today” and join the boycott against Disney’s streaming service.
Centineo’s post comes as Kimmel faces backlash following controversial comments regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The network suspended Kimmel indefinitely last Wednesday but announced on Monday that he will return to the air on Tuesday, following “thoughtful conversations” with ABC officials.
Social media users quickly scrutinized Centineo’s actions, noting the screenshot displayed a subscription expiration date of September 18, 2026. Critics labeled his move as “performative activism,” with one user sarcastically stating, “We are all here because he purchased a Disney subscription JUST TO CANCEL IT ON THE SAME DAY! what a hero!” Another added, “Did you buy a year of Disney+ just to cancel it for ur story hahahahha.”
The controversy surrounding Kimmel has sparked a wider boycott movement, echoing sentiments from other celebrities such as Tatiana Maslany, who also canceled her Disney+ subscription citing the suspension.
As the situation develops, affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair had initially pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from their stations, with Sinclair stating that discussions with ABC regarding the show’s future are ongoing.
Fans and critics alike are closely watching how this drama unfolds, particularly as Kimmel prepares to return to the spotlight. Will more stars join the boycott, or will the tide turn back in favor of the popular late-night host? Stay tuned for the latest developments.
