Shane Gillis faces backlash over "SNL" monologue about women at the gym
Shane Gillis' "Saturday Night Live" monologue about women's gym clothes has drawn accusations of misogyny, including from Dan Levy and Ego Nwodim, and some online anger at Travis Kelce.
Comedian Shane Gillis is facing backlash over his "Saturday Night Live" monologue from Saturday, which prompted accusations of misogyny, CBS News reports.
NBC News reports that Gillis said he "didn't know women just dress like whores now" while describing a trip to the gym. NBC says he also called women who wear short shorts to the gym "whores." NBC described the monologue as drawing criticism as sexist.
Actor Dan Levy accused Gillis of misogyny, according to Fox News. Fox says Levy argued that men's complacency enables sexual assault. Its report does not include his full remarks.
NBC News reports that Ego Nwodim, a former "SNL" cast member, appeared to respond to the monologue by mocking it. NBC's summary does not give her full comments.
Fox News also reports that fans of Taylor Swift reacted online after Travis Kelce allegedly liked a post about the monologue on Instagram. Fox attributes this to social media posts.
