Other celebrities have also joined the wave of canceling Disney+ in support of Kimmel, including Cynthia Nixon and Noah Centineo. The move reflects a growing trend of public figures taking a stand for causes they believe in.
Stern’s decision to cancel his subscription adds his voice to the chorus of support for Kimmel and criticism of ABC’s handling of the situation. It highlights the power of individuals to make a statement through their actions, even in the realm of streaming entertainment.
