Chloe Fineman leaves SNL after seven seasons amid mixed reports on cast relationships
Chloe Fineman announced her departure from Saturday Night Live, citing a new acting role, while sources offered differing accounts of her rapport with fellow cast members.
Chloe Fineman announced on Instagram that she is leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons to pursue the next stage of her career, including a role in a new Netflix drama. The post thanked the show’s staff and reflected on the pressures of sketch production.
One source told Page Six that Fineman had close friendships with some cast members but did not always get along with everyone, suggesting she sometimes expected accommodations for her schedule and preferences. The same source said there was no major feud. A second source denied the claim, stating there was no truth to the reports of tension.
Fineman’s departure prompted reactions from former and current cast members on social media, with several offering congratulations. Earlier reports noted that she faced competition from newer cast members and that the decision to leave coincided with the offer for the Netflix role.
Representatives for Fineman and NBC did not respond to requests for comment.
