A troll just had to leave a comment on Jimmy Kimmel Live‘s Instagram account to leave an unbelievably rude (and untrue) comment about women after watching Dua Lipa‘s guest monologue.

It all started when the show’s Instagram account posted the full video of Dua Lipa‘s monologue after she guest hosted for Jimmy earlier this week.

The troll posted a comment on the video, saying, “Women still aren’t funny.”

Well, Jimmy Kimmel Live‘s Instagram responded directly to the person and totally destroyed them.

Meanwhile, if you missed it, Dua Lipa actually went viral because of a moment that happened during the show between her and one of the celeb guests.

During his opening monologue, during “another night of entertainment in our disease-ravaged fascist state,” he took shots at so many celebrities – and it was hilarious.

“I’m here filling in for Jimmy Kimmel tonight, because when I think about who deserves two months off from work, it’s definitely public school teachers and the man who won an Emmy for producing a one-night reboot of The Jeffersons,” he said.

He also chewed out fictional fans with Cameos, like “Seth” who was celebrating his bar mitzvah.

“You know what, Seth? Maybe you should tell your parents to take the $50,000 they’re spending on a birthday party for you, a child who’s accomplished nothing, and use it to play a little party game I like to call reparations,” he said.

He also announced his own visual album, inspired by Lion King co-star Beyonce.

“If you liked Black Panther, you will love Gay Meerkat And yes, that is a picture of Timon holding a sign that says STONEWALL WAS A RIOT. You won’t find that on the shows Sebastian Maniscalco’s hosting here next week,” he said.

A Congressional candidate made headlines for this bizarre Beyonce conspiracy theory.

Jimmy Kimmel has issued an apology over a resurfaced video of him using the N-word during an impersonation of Snoop Dogg.

His statement was issued on Tuesday, June 23, just a day after the video took over social media and fans reacted to it, calling on him to be “cancelled”.

“I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us. That delay was a mistake,” Jimmy shared in his apology.

He adds, “There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke.”

You can read his full apology below.

Another late night talk show host also apologized for his past racist comments and sketches earlier in the month.

Jimmy Kimmel is under fire for allegedly using a racial slur multiple times in a video that has surfaced from 1996.

While we can’t verify that the audio from the video is Kimmel, he seemed to verify this news himself in a 2003 interview where he admitted to impersonating Snoop Dogg in a song titled “Christmastime in the LBC.”

About the song, Jimmy said, “This is when Snoop Dogg first came out, hit the scene, and I used to imitate him by only saying, ‘You know what I’m saying?’”

In the song, Jimmy seems to rap, “Me and my n—— down in LBC, we’ll smoke that motherf***er Christmas tree.”

The racial slur is used multiple times in the song including the lines, “fat n—– in a sleigh giving sh*t away” and also “n—– in the manger.”

DailyMail has audio of the song that you can listen to here.

We’re not sure if we can expect Jimmy to respond to these allegations anytime soon because of this recent announcement.
