Maya Rudolph has a "hard time with mean comedy".

The 51-year-old actress previously served as a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live' for many years - but Maya admits that she actually "can’t stomach" making fun of other people.

Speaking to Town and Country magazine, she explained: "I have a really hard time with mean comedy. Those things that are like, ‘Oh, I’m being funny, but I’m making fun of you?' I can’t watch it. I can’t stomach it. And it doesn’t feel good coming out of me."

Maya recalled developing a character during her early years on 'Saturday Night Live' that was based on a friend's "annoying girlfriend".

She added: "You’re in a room like this, and you’re seeing somebody really obnoxious, and you think, 'Oh my god, that would make a great character'. And then you write it, and you realise, I don’t want to hear this person talk."
