Kristen Wiig Leaves 'SNL,' Women React On Twitter

Posted: Updated: 05/21/2012 2:59 pm

Kristen Wiig

Kristen Wiig has parted ways with "Saturday Night Live" after seven years of starring on the sketch comedy show.

On Saturday night she bid the cast and her fans adieu with a touching Mick Jagger-led graduation skit. She danced with each of the cast members -- to the Rolling Stones song "She's a Rainbow" -- and appeared to be holding back tears the entire time.

Apparently she wasn't the only one having a hard time parting ways. Evidently, her fans were pretty upset, too. (See BuzzFeed's photos of women crying because Kristen Wiig was crying.) While some women photographed their sadness, others simply took to Twitter to express their appreciation for all the laughter Wiig has brought them over the last seven years.

I thought it was touching and I wanted to be more moved but I couldn't stop wondering why she wore that horrid outfit.

She's up there with Rudner, Fey, and Poehler. What are they going to do without her? Who is the best female castmember now? Nasim Pedrad?

That was def a first, crying like a baby at a show I usually cackle at the whole time. That was incredibly moving, I don't know how anyone kept it together!

Never forgave her for making fun of the disabled. It's one of Huffpo's "best," up there... only in Amurka.

I fell asleep about mid way through but luckily TiVo'd it so I watched it on Sunday. My husband told me she was leaving but I still cried through that whole skit. I am REALLY going to miss her on SNL!!
