Ego Nwodim swiftly responded to Shane Gillis' controversial remarks about women's gym attire on "Saturday Night Live" with a personal selfie. Gillis, who recently returned to host the show for the third time, sparked outrage during his monologue by joking that women "dress like whores" in workout wear. Nwodim, a former "SNL" star, addressed the comedian via Instagram story, showcasing her athletic leggings and long-sleeve shirt.
She captioned the photo, "Whore reporting for duty," along with a picture of her eggs Benedict and a playful mention of reaching her daily protein goal. Other celebrities, such as "Schitt's Creek" co-creator Dan Levy, also condemned Gillis' comments.
