Why Was Jenny Slate Fired From ‘SNL’? Here’s What She Had To Say

She said: “I am a woman who has made so much of her own work, and I’ve had a variety of successes — some small, some personal, some public. I’m a New York Times best-selling children’s author, all of this stuff that is so intentional and worthy, but people often want to frame my success as an ascent from one failure that was the decision of some man who didn’t understand me 10 years ago.”

“I just wonder,” she continued, “if I were a man, would people be so obsessed with the fact that I said a swear?” 

It’s unfair and quite frustrating to think about, but on the bright side, Jenny has long moved on from her SNL days.
