SNL’S Michael Che Wipes Instagram Clean After Crazy Simone Biles Joke

SNL funnyman Michael Che is feeling the sting of cancel culture today. The SNL News correspondent has been slammed on social media for his remarks made on social media, go figure. Che made a series of since-deleted stories about the American gymnastics superstar, who withdrew from the all-around finals at the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental well-being.

Che sarcastically claimed his account had been hacked:

Twitter swiftly reacted:

Larry Nassar sexually assaulted over 300 gymnasts including Simone Biles. Jokes about this immense violence are never okay. @hbomax @nbcsnl why is Michael Che still on your roster?

Michael Che comes for people he thinks he can get away with dunking on. Trans women, Black women, sexual assault survivors. Judging by his flimsy "I got hacked" defense, it seems he had no idea how beloved Simone Biles is, or just how messed up it is to share a Larry Nasser joke.

Black Women BEEN told you about Michael Che… but once again y'all ignored us.

But COMEDY right!? Fucking hack.

Michael Che – and all of these tacky ass clowns who call themselves comedians need to keep Simone's name out their damb mouths.

Yes @nbcsnl @nbc is on hiatus, but doesn't Michael Che have an @HBO deal too? It'd be a great time to act on all the big talk of listening to Black women, and drop that talent-free wastrel who constantly maligns us. We have receipts for years but this latest stunt is inexcusable.

Fuck Michael Che. He was mad corny anyway.

I'm so fcuking disgusted by 🦝 #MichaelChe going after Simone. I refuse to even link to what he said because it is too triggering. I'm going to borrow from my Piss Morgan video until tomorrow when I can record a proper video; if I can manage without getting my account snatched. pic.twitter.com/f55TkPkW7U

For some Biles leaving the Gymnastics competition is a funny matter. To most, not so much.
