Ex-SNL star Leslie Jones reveals tense encounter with ‘a–hole’ director at ‘SNL 50’ party: ‘Get your f–king hand off me’
NY Post
Leslie Jones was left fuming when an “a–hole” director she clashed with on the “SNL” set wanted to take a picture with her during the popular sketch show’s 50th anniversary celebration.
Jones, who starred on the NBC staple from 2014 to 2019, was a host for the “SNL 50 special” red carpet in February 2024 when he ran into the director.
“First of all, I don’t like him,” Jones said on Vulture’s “Good One Podcast” that was released Thursday.
“He comes over to me, and you know I don’t like him. ‘Oh Leslie, that’s just what happened. Shut up, yous was a f–king a–hole.”
The “Ghostbusters” star said the director wanted a photo with her and that Paul Rudd stepped in to take the picture, instigating Jones’ hatred towards the man.
“Paul Rudd sees that I don’t like him. So Paul is like ‘oh, I’m enjoying this,'” Jones revealed.
