Hutsell apologized for donning a fake prosthetic nose after Bialik referenced the sketch in a recent essay.
Mayim Bialik has responded to Melanie Hutsell’s apology about the use of a prosthetic nose in a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying Blossom, the sitcom that made Bialik famous.
Hutsell responded to Bialik’s Variety essay in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on October 20, saying she “knew it was wrong” to wear the fake nose but was told she would be fired if she refused to participate.“I remember so clearly that when I expressed that I did not want to wear the prosthetic nose for the sketch, I was told if I refused, I would be fired,” Hutsell said. “And keep in mind, many of the people who had a hand in creating the sketch were Jewish.
“Thank you Melanie Hutsell for this,” Bialik wrote on Threads. “I did not intend to disparage you or SNL and I really appreciate your thoughtfulness around this! It made for an interesting essay and with everything going on in the world, I’m virtually hugging you and appreciate you very much!”
