The Hallmark Channel was one of the final bastions of unwoke entertainment that still supported American traditions and family values until quite recently.
Naturally, this couldn’t continue. Anything that doesn’t fully accept progressive views is under attack by the left.
When CEO Wonya Lucas took over the network and embraced awakened ideologies, some of the network’s greatest celebrities finally left. Lucas is now resigning.
MRCTV reported:
Hallmark President and CEO Wonya Lucas will be stepping down from her role at the end of the year.
Lucas replaced former President and CEO Bill Abbott in 2020 following the backlash over Hallmark removing a commercial showing a homosexual couple. Her plan was to prioritize increasing “representation” and wanting to tell more “diverse and inclusive” stories.
However, amid the controversy, Lucas witnessed the mass exodus of Hallmark’s biggest celebrities, including “Full House” stars Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin, “Beverly Hills 90210” actress Jennie Garth, “90210” actor Trevor Donovan and “Where Calls the Heart” actor Daniel Lissing, as reported by Daily Wire.
“I am honored to have led this company and am tremendously proud of the progress we’ve made by creating an evolved entertainment experience that inspires meaningful, emotionally connected moments for our audiences,” Lucas said in a statement. “My passion for the Hallmark brand has grown in deeply rewarding ways and will remain paramount as I continue to help guide Hallmark Media’s future in a more strategically focused capacity.”
Her work is done here.

Hallmark Channel CEO resigns – presumably over the decline of their product after they boarded the DEI train. It wasn’t the “diversity” that failed. They changed the entire formula. The people who run the channel didn’t love the channel or what made it great.… pic.twitter.com/YctnfBGS5I

She tried to fix something that wasn’t broken by going woke to appease just a few people and now walks away.
When will people learn that not everyone cares about these sorts od stories?
If they want to tell those stories then start up your own network and focus on that.
However, leave the rest of it alone and stop ruining everything with this absurdity.
