Navarette's SNL Jab at Gillis: A Bold Statement

Inde Navarette, star of "Obsession," delivered a memorable monologue during her recent Saturday Night Live debut. Navarette, 25, made a pointed reference to controversial remarks made by the previous host, Shane Gillis. Gillis had previously criticized women's athletic apparel during his own monologue, describing it with offensive language.

Navarette humorously acknowledged the importance of fitness for her upcoming Marvel role as Rogue in the X-Men reboot. She remarked on her workout routine, playfully stating, "So, every morning I put on my little whore outfit and I hit the gym." This statement directly addressed the controversy sparked by Gillis's comments.

Gillis's earlier remarks about women's gym wear had prompted immediate backlash. Dan Levy, among others, vocally criticized Gillis's comments, deeming them misogynistic and contributing to a harmful culture of objectification. Levy argued that such commentary is "an everybody issue" and that men should defend women instead of degrading their appearance.

Despite the preceding controversy, Navarette expressed her excitement for her SNL appearance, emphasizing the quality of the show. Saturday Night Live airs on NBC on Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.
