"Same thing I told Sinclair. They asked, I haven't really told anybody this, so they asked, Do you want Jimmy to give you an apology? Do you want to be on a show? How can we make it right?' Through our team, I responded, I said, Tell them thank you, we received their note. This is not our issue, not our mess.'"
"If you want to say I'm sorry to someone who's grieving, go right ahead. But if that's not in your heart, don't do it. I don't want it. I don't need it."
"Jimmy Kimmel lied about your husband's murder and didn't really apologize, what would you say to Jimmy Kimmel?"
Erika Kirk revealed that Sinclair executives privately contacted her team after Jimmy Kimmel's comments about the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, and asked whether they should obtain an apology or provide her a platform. Affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair amplified the controversy after FCC Chair Brendan Carr highlighted Kimmel's remarks, prompting ABC to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! while conducting an internal review; the show was later restored. Kirk told Sinclair through her team that the matter was not her issue and declined any arranged apology or appearance. Kirk said insincere apologies are unwelcome and unnecessary. Kimmel said in his return monologue that he did not intend to make light of the assassination.
