Nikki Glaser Faces Backlash Over Diddy Jokes

Nikki Glaser faced backlash for a joke made during her opening monologue at the 2025 Golden Globes, where she referenced allegations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Her comment comparing the sexual charge of the film 'Challengers' to Diddy's credit card was met with groans from the audience, and critics argue it trivializes the experiences of sexual assault victims. Attorneys representing Diddy's accusers expressed disappointment, stating that such humor discourages victims from coming forward. Glaser's remarks come amid serious allegations against Diddy, who is facing charges related to sex trafficking and abuse. As the first female host of the Golden Globes, Glaser aimed for humor but ultimately drew ire for crossing a sensitive line. Diddy, who remains incarcerated, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, with a trial set for May 2025.
