Yang appeared to reference Chappell Roan's struggles with fame, including her past comments on Instagram where she calls out some fans' ‘predatory’ behavior.
Following the airing of the sketch, backlash emerged with fans criticizing Yang's portrayal as 'mocking' Roan's experiences, urging that such treatment is 'disgusting'.
