Meade, 37, posted a brutal message for Gillis, 38, in the wake of the MAGA-friendly comedian’s controversial hosting stint on Saturday Night Live .

“I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe it.

“Women dress like wh---s at the gym?” the HBO star said in her video, tagging Gillis.
“OK, well, men dress like rapists just by wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

There’s a difference there.” Saturday Night Live alum Ego Nwodim posted a photo of herself at the gym, writing, “Wh--e reporting for duty,” in a subtle slam against Gillis.
Another alum, Cecily Strong , also posted a photo of her gym attire, sarcastically adding, “On my way to Pilates in my new sl--ty a-- orange shoes and rainbow socks.
