A prominent female top comedian in Hollywood made a belated 'satisfying' remark toward a photographer who hurt her decades ago, only to face a strong rebuttal from the person directly involved, sparking a messy public feud.

Molly Shannon, known as the face of SNL and a popular American comedian and actress, mentioned an old incident with a photographer during a ceremony in June where she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Before joining 'SNL,' when she was still unknown, she bravely went to have a profile photo taken, but the photographer assigned to shoot her told her, "You're ugly." Shannon then joked that the photographer is now cleaning up dog poop and said, "Karma has come full circle."

In response, Andrew Rosenzweig, identified as the subject of the story, became indignant. According to U.S. entertainment outlet TMZ, it is true that he currently works in a field related to dogs. Rosenzweig indeed operates a dog daycare called LA Dog Works. However, regarding the rest of Shannon's claims, he flatly refuted them in an interview with TMZ, calling them "fabrications." He stated, "I may have been grumpy at times, but I don't think I ever said 'You're ugly,'" and even claimed he has no memory of having photographed Shannon.

Explaining why he left photography to run a dog daycare, Rosenzweig noted that the industry naturally shifted to digital formats, leading him to step away from his previous work. He emphasized, "I love dogs, and anyone who owns a pet must clean up after them," adding, "Cleaning up dog waste is not something to be ashamed of." He also hinted that since this was an old incident, he hoped Shannon would stop bringing it up.

Rosenzweig added, "Even if I did take the photo and said something negative, it was likely just a joke. We were close enough to joke around like that, and I certainly had no intention of hurting her." He also pointed out flaws in Shannon's account, noting that color profile photos were not taken in the 1980s. According to Rosenzweig, during that time, Shannon actually visited his studio frequently and tended to stay for long periods, which he described as "quite bothersome."

Molly Shannon is an actress from 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL) who received her 2,850th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June. The award ceremony was hosted by actors Will Ferrell and Connie Britton. In her acceptance speech, Shannon reflected on the hardships she faced while unknown and her father's support, concluding with the message, "Dreams do come true."
