Did Saturday Night Live fire actress because she is too fat?
E Online’s Ted Casablanca just comes right out and says it, Saturday Night Live fired Casey Wilson because they think she’s too chunky.
According to Casablanca’s The Awful Truth, SNL dropped Casey and Michaela Watkins for two PSYTs (Pretty, Skinny Young Things), Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad.
SNL producers apparently told Wilson to drop 30 pounds during the show’s summer hiatus. She didn’t and was shown the door, according to Casablanca.
Watkins is apparently taking the whole thing with a grain of salt.
When asked her reaction when learning she’d be canned after only one season, Watkins said told Entertainment Weekly she was shocked.
“And sadness [because] it just felt premature. But on some level I feel like there are so many opportunities and things that I want to do in the future and now they’ll just happen sooner rather than later,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
Wilson has been pretty silent on the situation. There is another option. Some say Wilson was fired because she was unfunny and never gained a following?
What do you think?
