The last time Dakota Johnson came on Saturday Night Live, she was dragged into a controversy. 

Back in March 2015, during her previous hosting of the NBC show, Johnson participated in a sketch that was a satire involving a car commercial with an ISIS-themed twist. 

Dakota Johnson playfully addressed the controversy: Here’s everything you need to know about!

In the sketch shown below, Johnson appears to be dropped off at the airport by her on-screen dad (played by Taran Killam), giving the impression that she’s heading to join the army. 

However, there was a catch, and she then revealed she was actually leaving to join the terrorist group. As Johnson exits, she casually says to her on-screen father, “Dad, it’s just ISIS.” 

Johnson has now playfully addressed the previous controversy in a new sketch. In another scene at an airport, she finds herself without her bag and seeks assistance from Devon Walker and Keenan Thompson. 

‘Respectfully, this might be an ISIS bag,’ says Walker. 

Johnson responds, ‘You think I’m in ISIS?’
