Viewers of the 79th annual Tony Awards have called for a boycott of host network CBS.The network has been in hot water for months, after a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump ended with Paramount settling for a $16 million payout. More recently, the veteran journalist Scott Pelley was fired from 60 Minutes after reportedly accusing CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the top news program.Moments after the Tonys broadcast — celebrating the best of Broadway — kicked off with a dazzling musical number hosted by Pink, viewers noted several issues and didn’t waste time pointing them out online.“I do not shock easily, however, I am shocked and appalled that you had children introduce a dancer who shook her nearly bare derrier in a side view on the Tony Awards,” one viewer wrote on X after rapper Megan Thee Stallion was introduced by a young cast member from Ragtime. “Contributing to the immorality of a minor is a felony, as it should be. Clean up your act. Boycott.”“Oh, @CBS get with the f***ing times. You censor Megan Thee Stallion on the Tony's, but let that orange piece of s*** in the WH carry on like an imbecile,” another irate viewer wrote of the opening number as someone else chimed in: “@cbs showing open and shameful actions. I’d say shame on them, but they clearly have no sense of it. #TonyAwards.”Pink performed during the opening number of the 2026 Tony Awards (Reuters)“Would have loved to be watching right now but I’m boycotting CBS!!!” another wrote.“If CBS had any guts, Cole Escola would be hosting the #TonyAwards,” someone else wrote, referring to the nonbinary Tony winner.More to follow
