We first talked about Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly McNearney, last month when she was complaining that Donald Trump was to blame for her husband’s six-day suspension and how it was so hard to break that news to their children.
This all happened because of Trump, you see. He is the reason that Jimmy’s show was suspended, as opposed to Jimmy’s inane comments trying to blame Charlie Kirk’s assassination on MAGA.
She also confessed during that same appearance on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast that she has “lost” relationships with family because of the president. She claimed her Trump-supporting relatives “are deliberately being misinformed every day,” which is why she has “sympathy” for them.
“It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man,” she lamented. “And to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family.”
Free Speech Folly
Last week, McNearney was talking about Trump once again as a keynote speaker at The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 Women in Entertainment breakfast, where, in her own mind, she is making herself into a star.
She has done nothing other than, I guess, write for Jimmy (must have been a really tough gig to get), and now they are making a feminist icon out of her because she waxed poetic on a podcast about how Trump is to blame for everything.
Here is how she used her time at the podium:
“I’ve been asked to speak about freedom of speech. And I have to be honest, I naively assumed it was a guarantee in this country until September 16, 2025. It’s something that I took for granted. It’s something I thought I’d always have, like my period. Did you guys know that those just stop? They just stop. Your period stops, you guys. It stops! And it turns out that some freedoms in this country can, too. We experienced it most recently in 2022 when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and got another taste of it two months ago. I watched a show and co-workers and friends and a man I love be put on indefinite suspension after our very thin-skinned president asked for his removal and his FCC chair to publicly threaten the company that we work for. It’s a fragile time for freedom.”
She is straight out of central casting trying to lecture on how Jimmy Kimmel, truly, is like a Nelson Mandela because he had six nights off (two were over the weekend), and he got paid millions of dollars for it and became some sort of cultural free speech icon as a result of him saying MAGA killed Charlie – false information.
She was in front of an audience of women, so we apparently also had to talk about bleeding out of our wherever because that is what defines us. Didn’t President Trump take a whole lot of shit for making that point? Only you get honored if you say it as a leftist. If it is all about your period and you are on the left, it is great. You get an award.
‘The Nerve’
But her remarks didn’t end there, and this next bit needs no introduction:
“There are women not lucky enough to be in this room, outside these walls, who desperately need us to use our hard-won freedom of speech. There is a woman out there who was separated from her children by masked men right here on our streets and sent to a country she does not call home. She needs our voice. There’s a woman who is not going to be able to afford her sick mother’s insurance premiums. She needs our voice. There is a woman who’s being denied the ability to make choices about her own body and her own life, and she needs our voice. There is a woman burying her boy shot for being black. She needs our voice. There is a woman being called ‘piggy’ by our president. She is one of many female reporters being shouted down. It’s always the women being shouted down. They need our voice…
I know it’s a lot easier to talk yourself out of it and to bury your head in TikTok. My husband and my workplace, my livelihood and my friends have been threatened multiple times by the president of the United States and the propaganda machine that feasts on deliberately misinterpreting our words and making comedy the enemy.”
There is so much wrong with that. There was a tear coming down her face as she said it.
Why did the president attack Jimmy Kimmel? Left unsaid is the number of vicious, untrue attacks he launched on Trump. And the nerve to talk about how Trump called a woman “piggy.” Take one look back at your husband’s disgusting, offensive history when it comes to the treatment of women; never mind blacks.
Now she’s super worried about innocent black boys being killed by police, which is a lie? What about your husband in his black face, speaking in Ebonics, mocking Karl Malone, Oprah, and countless others?Perhaps he contributed to the environment you claim to be so upset about, Molly.
The nerve of this woman.
