Chloe Fineman and Vanity Fair are in biiiig trouble with the internet, all because of a disturbing story she told during a recent interview — and the publication tried to cover it up!
In a video posted to YouTube late last month, titled “SNL Cast Test How Well They Know Each Other,” her co-stars Mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, Jane Wickline, and James Austin Johnson tried to guess what job she was fired from and rehired by when she was 16 years old. The comedians tossed out several ideas, including that she got let go because she either had a “bad attitude” or made racially insensitive comments at a restaurant or retail job. The fact that they immediately assumed she made racially insensitive comments is already concerning enough, but that is not why she got fired! It’s for another gross reason!

Chloe revealed she “was fired as a camp counselor.” Mikey questioned whether the 37-year-old actress was “hitting on the campers,” but that was not what happened. She chimed in to clarify:
“No. I pantsed a boy.”
Sorry, what??
Her co-stars all looked both shocked and disgusted as Chloe went on to recount the story, saying:
“He would lift my shirt all the time. It was a different time. He would be like, ‘Hey, could I have a hug?’ And then I’d go to hug him, and he’d lift my shirt, like a d**k. And then I was like, ‘I’m going to get back at you.’ And so we were on a hike, and I was like, ‘Hey, Ollie, go look over there. It’s a hawk.’ He looked, and then I yanked his pants down, and then I was fired.”
Girl! You tell your boss or the kid’s parents about his inappropriate behavior! You don’t, as someone older and who definitely knows better at that point, get revenge by pantsing him! OMG! Watch the interview Vanity Fair posted (below):
So that is the story you see Chloe tell in the current clip. However, there was a lot more she and her castmates said about the situation that Vanity Fair later edited out! OMG! Clips circulating on social media of the original video showed that Ashley told Chloe when the Big Mouth star revealed she “pantsed” a boy:
“Oh, honey, I think you’re on a list somewhere.”
The story gets way worse! She also shared that “he wasn’t wearing underpants, and then a giant school bus drove by,” and his “little ding-a-ling was out.” And mind you, he was only 6-YEARS-OLD! Vanity Fair also apparently cut out that detail!
And SHE THEN GOT REHIRED AT THAT SAME PLACE! We don’t have the story for that in any of the clips, but we are stunned the camp even allowed her back on the premises, let alone rehired her for the job! Again, you don’t ever pants a child in retribution and expose him like that! It’s so inappropriate and wrong! And why would VF cover this up? They had to know people would get their hands on the OG clip after they published it! See the unedited clip (below):

People were obviously NOT happy with Chloe’s story or Vanity Fair’s attempt at damage control. They took to social media to slam them, saying:
“Chloe doing her funny voice while she describes exposing a child’s genitals was quite upsetting.”
“I’m not sure why in this current climate, Chloe thought that would be a funny story to share or why VF would air it.”
“That was a really bad story to put out there and to be so open about the kiddo”
“ok so chloe fineman just publicly admitted to exposing a 6 year old’s genitals and we’re just gonna brush it off?”
“why did they cut out the parts of chloe’s story where she specifies he was a kindergartener and exposed him to a bunch of other kids…”
“Vanity Fair edited it and cut out a large portion of Chloes story but the cut isn’t making it any better”
“Chloe needs to not share so much. Lol”
“my jaw when she said how old he was… what the f**k”
“Anytime you gotta say, ‘it was a different time’ maybe stop”
“can’t comprehend how any public figure in 2026 would share this story proudly and publicly, regardless of whether or not they personally think it’s an issue. HOW can you not foresee how people will react to this. Baffling”
“This is such a disturbing thing to admit in a interview and omg the uncomfortable laughter among the cast mates I feel so bad for them”
Truly, what was Chloe thinking?
She hasn’t addressed the controversy at this time. What are YOUR reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments!
