A fundraiser for Willow Bay’s International Women’s Media Foundation, planned to take place at the power couple’s Brentwood home next month, may have to relocate after her husband yanks Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

Iger, along with Disney Entertainment chairman Dana Walden, was the Disney exec who pulled the chord on Kimmel’s suspension over on-air comments about Charlie Kirk’s murder — and that decision has prompted a journalism non-profit that Bay (and Iger) have supported for years to consider distancing themselves from the westside power couple. An annual fundraiser for the International Women’s Media Foundation, an organization dedicated to elevating female and non-binary journalists and boasts some of the biggest names in broadcast journalism as board members — CBS’ Norah O’Donnell, NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, and ABC News’ Kerry Smith, among others — is reconsidering its decision to hold its annual fundraiser at Bay and Iger’s home next month, according to several sources.

    America, grow a pair and sort your fucking shit out. The rest of the world are starting to get fucking tired of it (except maybe the UK - I had thought the current King was above sucking an orange cock - but oh well)

    who pulled the chord

    It was horrible, it was a Bmaj7.

    But let’s face it, the kind of politics that tries to solve systemic inequity by co-opting a few more women and LGBTQ people onto corporate boards accomplishes nothing but changing the superficial demographics of the sociopaths in charge.

    The incentives need to change, not just the faces operating the system.
