Gretchen Adler, TikTok Tradwife, Reacts to SNL Parody

TikTok sensation and “tradwife” Gretchen Adler has shared her thoughts on the recent parody of her lifestyle featured on “Saturday Night Live.” The skit humorously lampooned various TikTok personalities, including Adler, highlighting the traditional gender roles associated with the “tradwife” movement.

In a light-hearted response, Gretchen admitted to being impressed by the accuracy of Heidi Gardner’s portrayal of her on “SNL.” The comedic impression depicted Gardner sporting a faux baby bump and a sundress while humorously discussing her agricultural endeavors, including slaughtering a cow for beef tacos. It was through social media tags that Adler first learned about the sketch.

Gretchen expressed that Heidi’s depiction resonated with her own experiences, noting how the dialogue reflected her videos almost verbatim. She remarked, “It was pretty wild to see ‘SNL’ reenacting what I do. It might sound funny, especially coming from a comedian, but I actually have videos where I showcase our farm life, including slaughtering chickens and cooking meals.”

Surprised that her lifestyle had caught the attention of “SNL,” Gretchen welcomed the parody, believing it would introduce her way of life to a broader audience. She emphasized the significance of the “tradwife” role and expressed her desire to inspire other women to embrace this lifestyle. “It’s fantastic that they’re shining a light on such an essential role. There’s a growing movement of women interested in being tradwives, and social media has allowed us to connect and share our experiences on a larger scale.”

Overall, Gretchen’s message is clear: she aims to encourage others to explore and participate in the “tradwife” way of life.
