The young woman who put Gorilla Glue in her hair is giving part of her gofundme to ... someone in need, don't know. More importantly, a) there's a hair gel called "Gorilla Snot," so it's in no way a stretch to think that's what she thought she was signing up for, and b) the "Saturday Night Live" sketch about her this past weekend was painfully racist and classist and I don't care if the actors were Black, it was awful. — Girls United
