- Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman faces controversy after sharing a story during a Vanity Fair segment about being fired as a teenage camp counselor for "pantsing" a six-year-old boy.
- Fineman revealed she was dismissed at 16 for the act, framing it as retaliation after the boy repeatedly lifted her shirt. She described the event as happening in "a different time."
