Jenny Slate’s Parents Are the Reason She Quit ‘Big Mouth’

Jenny previously voiced the character of Missy, a shy, yet talkative awkward young woman with braces.

However, viewers quickly learned that Missy is biracial and has a white Jewish mother and a Black father.

And while Jenny related to Missy in some ways, she decided to give up the role because of her parents. Jenny’s parents, who are white and Jewish, didn’t match the profile of Missy’s parents.
