Shane Gillis Faces Fresh Shade From Ex-Girlfriend Over 'SNL' Joke
- During the October 10 episode of Saturday Night Live, host Shane Gillis drew criticism for joking that women at the gym dress 'like whores,' sparking immediate backlash from viewers and entertainers.
- Gillis previously faced firing from Saturday Night Live in 2019 after using anti-Asian slurs, though he rebuilt his career through stand-up and podcasts. Critics remain vocal about the 'MAGA-friendly' label trailing the Pennsylvania-native.
- Entertainers including Kathy Griffin, Dan Levy, and Jenna Bush Hager criticized the performance. Bush Hager stated, 'This perpetuates what is happening in our culture where people are commenting on women's looks ad nauseam … and it's not OK.'
- On Instagram, Shane Gillis's ex-girlfriend Grace Brassel appeared to address the controversy, sharing a workout video captioned, 'Super quick full body workout for my women at the gym!'
- Although Gillis has not publicly addressed the backlash, he later admitted on his podcast he 'could have done without' the joke. He continues to hold a Guinness world record for most tickets sold.
