Jessie Woo has since responded to the criticism. She shared a GIF of Whitney Houston with the caption,

“Male Comedians and folks on twitter make jokes about Whitney‘s battle with drugs still till this day… but me impersonating her during a voicemail game by singing her song & saying “I’m dead” (a great excuse why she cannot come to the phone)… but I went too far?”

She added,

“The show is called “WILD N OUT” for a reason… and still I was able to say some wild s*** without picking low hanging fruit like her history with drugs… unlike the many comedians who have for decades. I pushed the envelope and I am proud of me”
