Peanut the Squirrel's euthanisation at the hands of New York authorities became a controversial topic of discussion ahead of the November 5 election. Portraying the beloved pet's imaginary widow, Sherman discussed the trials and tribulations she and her squirrel husband faced as famed internet personalities.
“Oh, it’s just so hard to be thrust in the media spotlight, Colin,” Mrs Hazel Nut said, adding, “I’m used to doing regular squirrel stuff, like, you know, chasing my own tail or running into the middle of a street, seeing a car and then [shakes uncontrollably].”
Reflecting on Peanut's death, Hazel revealed that the moment cops raided the house, “P’Nut bit one, like a damn hero.” She went on to joke that “Peanut” was her husband's human name and that the euthanised squirrel's real name was composed of incomprehensible squeaking.
