New York, NY – During her recent hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live,” comedian Ayo Edebiri addressed some controversial jokes she had made about Jennifer Lopez in the past.

She expressed the need for more thoughtful online posting, alluding to her own past behavior. This moment illuminated the complexity of navigating the consequences of one’s words, especially in the public eye.
Edebiri’s past comments about Lopez were also brought to light from a 2020 episode of “Scam Goddess,” where she discussed the singer’s career and critiques.
