There’s been a lot of blubbering that Casey Wilson was recently dropped from the cast of “Saturday Night Live” because she was told to lose 30 pounds during the show’s summer hiatus.

Most stories claim that Wilson either couldn’t shed the weight or decided out of principle not to slim down. Regardless, it’s been rumored that her firing was a matter of girth rather than mirth.

Actually, it’s a big fat lie. A source at SNL claims that it was simply a personnel change, like the other types that have happened over the years at the show (SEE Parnell, Chris).

About the weighty issue, a rep for SNL tells Gossip Cop, “There is absolutely no truth to this,” adding, “her contract was simply not renewed.”
