Melania Slams Kimmel Over 'Hateful' Jokes

0:00It's April 27. Welcome to entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. First Lady Melania Trump dropped a rare statement on Monday slamming comedian Jimmy Kimmel for jokes she called hateful and violent. This came right after a shooting scare at the White House correspondence dinner on Saturday where she and President Trump got evacuated from the ballroom amid gunshots. No one got hurt in the incident and the suspected shooter, Cole Allen, got tackled and arrested on the spot. He's doing federal court that same Monday. Kimmel's Thursday skit mocked the upcoming dinner, taking a jab at Melania with a line about her glowing like an expectant widow. Melania's pushing ABC to take a stand against Kimmel's rhetoric, especially with tensions high after the close call. Folks are buzzing about how comedy crosses lines when real threats hate close to home. This isn't Kimmel's first brush with backlash. Back in September, conservatives, including Trump, called him out over comments on the Charlie
