The 32-year-old author gained the Emmy for Excellent Writing for a Comedy Sequence for Abbott Elementary.
Quinta’s class was introduced by Will Arnett and Jimmy Kimmel, who did this bit the place Jimmy laid flat on the bottom as a result of he had too many “skinny margaritas” after shedding his class.
You’d suppose that he’d finish the entire lying-flat-on-the-ground bit and rise up as soon as Quinta had gained, however nope.
He continued to lie there, like this, all through her acceptance speech:
Quinta dealt with it like a professional, even laughing and putting her cellphone on his physique.
However individuals weren’t comfortable, calling Jimmy out for taking consideration away from Quinta:
Quinta Brunson deserved higher than giving her acceptance over Jimmy Kimmel’s “lifeless” physique. #Emmys #AbbottElementary
In addition they referred to as him out for “white male privilege.”
White male privilege is laying on the bottom & anticipating a Black lady to simply step round you whereas she accepts her hard-earned award. Fuck Jimmy Kimmel. #Emmys2022
CAN SOMEONE TELL THE HUMAN PERSONIFICATION OF WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE THAT IS @jimmykimmel THAT HE IS NOT ENTITLED TO TAKE UP *ALL* THE SPACE—ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT SPACE BELONGS TO @quintabrunson WHO HAD TO LITERALLY NAVIGATE AROUND HIM TO ACCEPT HER HISTORIC #EMMY
Un. be. lievable.
Jimmy has not responded to the backlash, however we’ll replace you if he does.
