  • Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman is facing criticism after confessing in a Vanity Fair video that she was fired as a camp counselor for ‘pantsing’ a six-year-old boy.
  • Fineman explained she pulled the boy’s pants down as revenge because he lifted her shirt, saying, "It was a different time!" as her colleagues reacted with discomfort.

  • Social media users widely condemned Fineman's story, questioning why she would share such an anecdote publicly and expressing upset over her description.
  • Critics also slammed Vanity Fair for editing the video post-publication, with some speculating it was done to protect the celebrity talent, leading to accusations of a "cover-up".
