The Food Network has cut ties with a host after his stance on abortions.
Last Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in a 5 to 4 to block an emergency appeal filed by abortion providers in an attempt to stop Texas from implementing a strict abortion law, which went into effect the same day.
Former Food Network star Josh Denny, 38, who starred in “Ginormous Food,” responded to the news in a tweet on Wednesday.
“*After six weeks. You can still get one for six weeks. Calm down, broads. You still have six weeks to decide your life is more important than anyone else’s,” Denny wrote.
When Denny received a slew of backlash from people on Twitter, he responded: “Your freedom to be offended is commensurate to my freedom to offend you.”
The Food Network posted a statement on Twitter in response to Denny’s comments, saying they “regret giving him a platform.”
“For those asking: Our working relationship with Josh Denny ended years ago, and we removed all episodes he hosted at that time,” the statement read. “His views do not reflect our company values, and we regret giving him a platform.”
Denny then clapped back at Food Network. “If you regret having ever given me a platform, how about you send me a check for the 10s of millions of dollars my show made for your network(s)?” he tweeted. “You knew my views and my style of comedy when you hired me. My views represent the beliefs of half of this country.”
In comments to The Daily Wire, Denny said justified his controversial words. He said when it comes to comedy, “nothing is off-limits.”
“I think everyone has horribly misunderstood me: I’m totally pro-choice,” Denny tweeted. “As long as the unborn babies are given AR-15’s to defend themselves, I’m fine with you going in there.”

I think everyone has horribly misunderstood me:
I’m totally pro-choice.
As long as the unborn babies are given AR-15’s to defend themselves, I’m fine with you going in there.
