Grace Brassel Claps Back at Shane Gillis's Gym Remarks

Grace Brassel, the ex-girlfriend of comedian Shane Gillis, has publicly addressed his recent "Saturday Night Live" monologue. The monologue featured a polarizing joke about the attire of women at public gyms in 2026. Gillis's comments suggested women dressed "like whores" in shorts, sparking significant backlash from various personalities, including actor Dan Levy.

Levy criticized the remarks, stating that calling women "whores" for their gym clothes is misogynistic. Brassel, who dated Gillis for approximately a year starting in 2024, responded by posting a "fitcheck" on her Instagram Story, showcasing her gym outfit. This action appeared to be a taunt directed at Gillis.

This is not the first time Brassel has spoken about their relationship. In October 2026, she posted a reel on Instagram detailing how the relationship "stripped" her of her identity and mentioning bullying from Gillis's fanbase. She expressed her survival and happiness post-breakup, aiming to empower other women.
