Vanity Fair Edits ‘SNL’ Comedian’s Story About Pantsing Child

A video featuring “Saturday Night Live” cast member Chloe Fineman jokingly discussing how she was fired as a camp counselor after exposing a young boy’s genitals appears to have been edited on YouTube following backlash online.

The video in question was posted by Vanity Fair last week. The segment, titled “SNL Cast Test How Well They Know Each Other,” includes cast members quizzing each other about incidents from their past, and opens with Fineman revealing an anecdote from her camp counselor days when she was 16.

“I was fired as a camp counselor,” Fineman said, prompting her castmates to guess the reason, including the suggestion that she “hit on the campers.”

“I pantsed a boy,” Fineman said.

“Oh honey. I think you’re on a list somewhere,” Ashley Padilla said in reply in the original version.

Both the original and edited versions include Fineman discussing her reason for pantsing the young child, namely that he allegedly lifted up her shirt after asking for a hug. 

“He was like, 6,” the “SNL” cast member said in the original. The boy’s age did not make it into the edited version.

“No, it was a different time,” she insisted when the other castmates gasped, adding that he was a “d*ck” for lifting her shirt. 

“And then I was like, I’m gonna get back at you,” she explained. “And so we were on a hike, and I was like, ‘Hey Ollie, look over there it’s a hawk,’ and he looked and then I yanked his pants down…”

“And he wasn’t wearing underpants,” Fineman continued in the original version. The current YouTube video has this part cut out, though it’s still available in clips floating around on social media. 

“He wasn’t wearing underwear. His little dingaling was out. And then these two twins were like, ‘Ollie, I didn’t know you didn’t wear underwear!’”

Both versions end with Fineman concluding, “…and then I was fired.”

Conde Nast (which owns Vanity Fair) did not immediately return The Daily Wire’s request for comment.

Social media commenters couldn’t figure out why Fineman would willingly share this type of story. 

“However talented she may be as a comedian (and I have my doubts), I am trying to figure out how someone in Hollywood today could be so tone-deaf, self-absorbed, mean girl, and narcissistic that they would share this story and think everyone would find it cute. It is mind boggling,” one person observed.

“Vanity Fair really tried to sweep chaos under the rug, [editing] out Chloe Fineman’s camp counselor story only made it trend harder, turning what should’ve been a quirky SNL cast segment into a full‑blown PR nightmare where the deleted clip is now the headline,” another agreed.
