Jimmy Kimmel holds back tears in his first interview with Regina King on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ since the death of her son, Ian Alexander Jr., who died by suicide in January 2022.
I feel such compassion for her . . . my God, the pain . . . She's beautiful and such a good actress! The first "book report" I ever did was on Shirley Chisolm back in grade school . . . I'm 63 now . . . my teacher listed people from which we could pick. and Shirley Chisolm was on the list. As a young A/A student, I felt a sense of pride to write my book report about her. Regarding Mr. Kimmel . . . his compassion for others is a beautiful thing to see. He has such a tender heart. To be honest, some of the skits and things he has on his show, I could pass on, LOL. BUT, I watch him instead of the others in his time slot because I love his heart and respect that about him so much. That reason might not make sense to some, but it does to me. Prayers for Regina King and continued success to her and Jimmy Kimmel.
I think its so interesting that she is the one in pain, griefing the loss of her son and she had to comfort the host..I guess, he felt her pain..RIP, son..
This wold is destroying our youth. Things aren’t as simple as they use to be and a lot of people can’t handle the calamity of this over populated, over stimulating, over the top environment. It’s sad. RIP 🙏🏻
At my baby’s wellness visit our pediatrician read the notes and said “you’re depressed, you don’t strike me as a depressed person” and I said that I know. Depression isn’t always visible. I wish ppl would stop thinking that.
Depression is hard to spot. You'd think the person is the happiest person on the planet. When that person goes home they ball their eyes out in despair. It feels like drowning or sinking. You have no idea why though. You start think nobody cares but they actually just don't know. I know this all too well. I am praying for comfort. It's hard.
I've watched Jimmy since the man show. He's more or less always been a comedic person. Though I don't watch his late show. Seeing him start to choke up hit hard. I know these late shows are a bit rehearsed. I'm sure he still hurt having to bring up her son's passing. I wouldn't doubt he knew the guy and can't believe he's gone. If only more people knew they're still loved and matter, even if their brain tells them otherwise.
💛💛💛
Regina is super amazing. My prayers go out to her and her entire family. ❤
She’s admirable.

I love this/ but this is Jimmy and Classic Regina. The way she explains depression is incredible. All I can do is pray for her it’s unfathomable😢

You think you’re a strong person who can handle anything, until you lose a child.
May her son rest in peace.
Regina is the absolute queen!

Always so classy, humble and graceful! Still praying for you. God bless and continue to comfort you. You’re one of my favorites, ever since 227. ❤

Wow what a beautiful woman, human being wasn't ready for that ❤
He almost lost his youngest son, so it's no surprise.
The same jimmy that was on Epstein Island abusing and raping kids? That same Jimmy and big faux tears?
Her strength is helping a lot of people i wont ever stop praying for her🙏🏿😭❤️
