00:00Um, no, I was fired as a camp counselor.
00:03For hitting on the campers?
00:05No, I pantsed a boy.
00:07Chloe Fineman is facing backlash
00:09for a wild story she told in a Vanity Fair video
00:12that has since been edited by the publication.
00:15We've got the full story right here.
00:17In the segment titled,
00:19SNL Cast Test How Well They Know Each Other,
00:21posted on March 31st,
00:23Chloe reveals to her fellow cast members
00:25that, at the age of 16,
00:27she was fired, then rehired,
00:29from a job as a camp counselor.
00:31Why?
00:32For pulling a camper's pants down
00:34as a form of payback for the kid
00:36always trying to pull up her shirt.
00:38According to several outlets,
00:39including Variety and Page Six's sister site Decider,
00:42Vanity Fair apparently cut out
00:44the ickier parts of the story,
00:45as well as some of the cast's reactions
00:47as a form of damage control.
00:50However, across social media,
00:51the original clip has been salvaged.
00:53Take a look.
00:54Oh, honey, I think you're on a lisp somewhere.
00:57And he wasn't wearing underpants.
00:59Oh!
01:00And then a giant school bus drove by,
01:02and they were like, you can't,
01:04like, because he would lift my shirt all the time.
01:07Oh.
01:07What is happening?
01:08It was Berkeley.
01:10How old was the child?
01:11He was like six.
01:13And then I yanked his pants down.
01:15He wasn't wearing underwear.
01:16His little ding-a-ling was out.
01:17In the original upload,
01:18Chloe was pressed to reveal the boy's age
01:20was six at the time,
01:22and that he wasn't wearing underwear,
01:24and that a school bus drove by
01:25during the humiliating incident.
01:28Decider's editor-in-chief Mark Graham wrote on X,
01:31This Chloe Fineman story is pretty nuts,
01:33as is the attempted cover-up by Vanity Fair.
01:36The cover-up is always worse than the crime.
01:38Elsewhere online, fans are debating
01:40if the story is silly or just plain creepy.
01:43Chloe, who is now 37,
01:45joked in the video that it was a different time,
01:47and in Berkeley, referencing California's famously hippie enclave.
01:52While some are calling for Chloe's cancellation,
01:54others brushed it off.
01:56And many compared it to the shocking story
01:58at the center of Zendaya's new romantic thriller.
02:01In the drama, Zendaya's character reveals over drinks
02:03the worst thing she's ever done,
02:06much to the horror of her fiancĂŠ,
02:08played by Robert Pattinson, and their friends.
02:10And it all goes down just days before their wedding.
02:13As for Chloe Fineman,
02:14this is the comedian's seventh season
02:16on Saturday Night Live.
02:18Following the season 51 cast Bloodbath,
02:21fans are anxious to see how this bizarre story
02:23might play a role in her future
02:25with the famed NBC show.
