Former ‘SNL’ star Leslie Jones goes scorched earth on director over 2017 skit: ‘Don’t give a f–k if you see this’

Former “SNL” star Leslie Jones revealed she clashed with a “narcissistic d–khead” director of one of her skits when she said she needed to go home during a long day on set.

Jones was filming a pre-taped segment alongside co-star Kyle Mooney for a November 2017 episode, where both actors were taking part in a fictional marriage, when she and guest host Tiffany Haddish “almost f–ked him up one night.”

“The guy who would direct those was a f–king a–hole,” Jones said on the “Toure Show” podcast. “And I don’t give a f–k if you see this. You still are, probably, a f–king d–head. A f–king narcissistic d–khead.”

“He [was] just one of the white boys who thought he’s doing Shakespeare,” Jones added. “No this is a f–king sketch and you’re not funny and you’re not creating nothing beautiful. You’re just being an a–hole with this tedious f–king s–t.”

Jones claimed the director made the cast and crew work into the early morning hours to film the sketch, even though they had to be back hours later to film the live show.

To make matters worse, Jones sustained an injury from her wedding dress costume, prompting her to call it a night.

“I was like ‘yo, I’m going home, ya’ll have had me here since 4 o’clock,” Jones said. “This mother f–ker was like ‘What makes you so f–king special?’ And I was like ‘Who the f–k you talking to?’” 

“What makes me special is that the f–king sketch is about me and Kyle, not you,” Jones told the director before telling him to “step off because I’m about to f–k you up.”

The director allegedly continued to get in her face to escalate the argument when Haddish came out of her dressing room and joined in.

“What’s up cuz? Who the f–k talking shit? Who talking shit?” Haddish allegedly yelled. 

When she found out it was the director, Jones claimed Haddish said, “We about to f–k him up.”

While the fight never escalated to a physical one, they were still forced to put their differences aside to finish filming.

Jones, who stands 6-foot-tall, pointed out that they also had major creative differences, and added that she didn’t like filming the sketches about her fake romance with Mooney.

“I hated every one of those,” Jones said. “He brought that idea to me and I hated it from the beginning because I never would date nobody like Kyle but they thought that s–t was so funny. And they thought it was funny because I was this big ass b–ch with this little white boy and it always was that running joke.”

Jones said the same playbook was used in Weekend Update segments when she’d pretend to hit on anchor Colin Jost.

Jones was a cast member on “Saturday Night Live!” from 2014 to 2019 and scored three Primetime Emmy award nominations for her work on the late-night show.

The comedian has gone on to act in “Ghostbusters,” “The Angry Birds Movie 2” and “Coming 2 America.”
