“From where I was until now, I definitely notice more than ever my words being taken apart, taken out of context. I offend a lot more people by doing the exact same things,” she said, referring to the massive cultural impact Brat since its release in June. “Nothing groundbreaking here, but I guess no one really cared much about what I did on a day-to-day basis.”

She continued, “It’s hard. It’s hard to be constantly scrutinized for the things you’ve said. It’s hard to take your words out of context and then really feel like you just can’t defend yourself, because that would be a whole different can of worms.”

SNL also announced the lineup for the November 9 show, which will be hosted by Bill Burr and feature Mk.gee’s musical guest debut. It will be the comedian’s second time as host.
