“SNL” Criticized For Tiger Woods Skit

December 06th, 2009 | Category: All Celebrities

Saturday Night Live has come under fire for a skit that critics say trivializes domestic violence …and on a show that was hosted by a victim of abuse to boot!

On Saturday night’s episode, the NBC sketch comedy show made light of Tiger Woods’ scandalous week, satirizing reports – denied by the golfer – that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him prior to his early-morning car accident on November 27 with a sketch featuring Keenan Thomson and host Blake Lively.

However, the show’s musical guest was Rihanna –

a victim of domestic violence earlier that year from then-boyfriend Chris Brown — prompting concerns from several media outlets that the show’s humor was insensitive from some corners.

Critics say that whether the abuse had been reversed, against Tiger’s wife, everyone would be freaking out. That’s true. But lighten the freak up humans. In my mind a woman taking a golf club to her husband’s cheating head for sleeping with every waitress from LA to Las Vegas is not abuse…it’s justice.
