Chappell Roan responds to Bowen Yang’s SNL Moo Deng sketch: ‘I don’t know the line anymore’

Chappell Roan has responded to Bowen Yang’s Saturday Night Live sketch, telling fans that she doesn’t “know the line anymore”.Back in September, the comedian took to SNL to dress up as the viral Thai pygmy hippo Moo Deng, where he appeared to poke fun at Roan’s public plea for privacy. At the time, Yang denied “mocking” the star.

Yang’s Moo Deng undeniably drew parallels with the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer, who at the time was openly sharing her struggles with fame, disturbing fan interactions and boundaries.During the sketch, Moo Deng asked the crowd to “stop clapping” before commenting on the real Moo Deng’s viral success. @nbcsnl pls respect moo deng’s boundaries ♬ original sound – Saturday Night Live – SNL “For the past 10 weeks, I’ve been going nonstop — running around, eating lettuce, trying to bite the water from a hose, and the response has been overwhelming.



But it has come to the point where I need to set some boundaries,” Yang said.“Reminder: women owe you nothing. When I’m in my enclosure, tripping over stuff, biting my trainer’s knee.

.. I am at work.

That is the project. Do not yell my name or expect a photo just because I’m your ‘parasocial bestie,’ or because you appreciate my talent.”In a new interview with “The Giver” hitmaker on iHeart Radio’s Las Culturistas, aside from addressing her upcoming music, Roan was asked whether she thought Yang’s sketch was “funny”.

“I did! I didn’t feel anything,” she began, assuring listeners that they didn’t need to defend her. “We’re fine. So what is there to be mad about? Also, this is what happens: that is SNL.

It’s comedy.“And for people to – even if you were to push it further, harmless. It’s comedy.

I don’t understand. I just don’t know the line anymore. Even if you didn’t think the Moo Deng sketch was funny or anything, you didn’t have to say anything.

“People sticking up for me in that situation, or not sticking up for me, made me feel no different. Because I didn’t need it either way. Because I was not offended,” she concluded.
