\n\tEgo Nwodim<\/a> had a sassy reaction to Shane Gillis<\/a> following his controversial monologue <\/a>on Saturday Night Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter hosting the NBC sketch comedy program<\/a> on Saturday, the comedian drew heat over his joke about women working out.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI haven\u2019t been to the gym in so long, I didn\u2019t know women just dress like whores now,\u201d Gillis said to the live audience. \u201cLook, I\u2019m sorry, there\u2019s no other way to describe [it]. Have you seen it? I\u2019ve seen it. The shorts? Have you seen the shorts? They\u2019re neon, like, artificial bait-colored? And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole. And don\u2019t look. You\u2019re not allowed to look. For real, don\u2019t look, because they are filming. I\u2019m in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, Nwodim took to her Instagram Story on Monday to share a photo of herself at the gym with the caption, \u201cWhore reporting for duty.\u201d In another post, she shared a photo of her post-workout meal, adding, \u201cGetting my 30 grams of protein in after heauxing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNwodim was a castmember on SNL<\/a> for seven seasons, from 2018 to 2025. She departed the show ahead of season 51.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer comments came after Schitt\u2019s Creek co-creator and star Dan Levy also slammed Gillis<\/a> over his joke about women. \u201cWomen wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists. There\u2019s a difference there,\u201d he wrote in part.<\/p>\n

\n\tLevy added in his Instagram post, \u201cI\u2019m speechless that something like that can exist on live national television. And to be perfectly honest, more men need to be standing up in opposition to it because it\u2019s complacency that has created the environment in which women are sexually assaulted and it\u2019s a \u2018conversation\u2019 as opposed to a \u2018crime.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ego Nwodim had a sassy reaction to Shane Gillis following his controversial monologue on Saturday Night Live.
