The blast zone from The Walt Disney Company’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show off the air is now threatening to engulf the Brentwood home of Bob Iger
-- who just happens to be married to Willow Bay, dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

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.

The International Women’s Media Foundation,
an organization dedicated to elevating female and non-binary journalists,
boasts some of the biggest names in broadcast journalism as board members

“board members have expressed their concerns internally over the optics of holding a free speech event at the home of the man who yanked Kimmel off the air”
