(People.com) -- Casey Wilson is laughing off reports that she was fired from "Saturday Night Live" for being too fat."I had an amazing time on 'SNL,' and these rumors are completely untrue," Wilson, 28, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
"And to clarify, the issue isn't that I'm too fat, it's that I'm too phat. Can I get a WHAT-WHAT!"
Earlier this week E! online reported that the curvy SNL star -- who joined the cast in 2008 and spoofed celebrities such as Rachael Ray and Jennifer Aniston -- got the boot after producers demanded that she lose 30 pounds over the summer and failed to do so.
A rep for the show tells PEOPLE, "there is absolutely no truth" to the reports.

Phhf... typical snl. Casey Williams was one of the few refreshing and original aspects of this increasingly dismal show, and Lorne got rid of her 'cause he likes 'em bony. Hmphh. Since when were comediennes supposed to look like nasty European supermodels anyway? Why must all shapely women be shoved off the front stage of the media!
I second the previous comment wholeheartedly!!!
This woman is talented and an asset for the show. She handled her various characters with aplomb and continued to show promise. I will miss her!!!
