Gorilla Glue released a statement reminding everyone that "this product is not indicated for use in hair or on hair since it is considered permanent." But they were "glad" Tessica received medical treatment and wished her well.
Now that we know Tessica got her happy ending, SNL making fun of the whole Gorilla Glue fiasco is downright hilarious. Last night, Kenan Thompson and Regina King acted out a lawyer commercial seeking compensation for those who put the adhesive in their hair.
