One topic Nikki Glaser said was too far for Golden Globes monologue as she draws gasps with controversial P Diddy joke

The one topic she wouldn't touch

If you were watching Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes hosting performance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that there was no topic she was afraid to touch.

Whether it be joking about P Diddy, mocking Joker 2, or saying Benny Blanco was engaged to Selena Gomez because he wished for her via a genie, the comedian had a brutal streak to her jokes.

The comedian joked about P Diddy’s arrest, saying of Zendaya: “And Challengers, girl? Oh my God! That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card, I mean seriously.”

This led to gasps from the crowd and criticism online, however this was not the one topic she said she was going to be steering clear of.

In actual fact, the ongoing legal situation between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is the one topic which Nikki Glaser said was too far.

Right at the end of 2024, Lively caused headlines when filed a legal complaint against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating an online smear campaign against her.

This was revealed by the New York Times, who Baldoni is now suing, alongside several others mentioned in the article.

This was a topic that Glaser decided she would be steering clear of, saying: “I think the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni thing is such a hot-button thing right now that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be.

“I also don’t want to give his name any ... I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”

The controversy between the two grew out of their time on It Ends With Us, where they starred together and Baldoni directed.

While she didn’t say she would avoid it altogether, she also said she would largely be steering clear of politics, claiming ‘people are tired of hearing about it’.

She went on to say: “There will be a nod to it, but it will not be too heavy-handed. I’ve made a good point not to go too hard.”

While her performance as a host has been widely praised, Glaser did receive criticism online for her joke about P Diddy.

The music mogul was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.

When his mansion was raided by police, the rapper’s home was found to contain over 1,000 bottles of baby oil.

The full joke went on to say: “I’m sorry, I’m upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year, but we have to move on.

“I know a Stanley Tucci freak off doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”

One viewer tweeted in response: “Who in that writing room thought it was a good idea to include that Diddy joke? That was literally just disgusting."

Despite this though, she was largely praised for her hosting, with one fan tweeting: “nikki glaser kind of absolutely annihilating her monologue. incredible presence, perfect pacing, knows how to roast people and be tongue-in-cheek without being obnoxious and offensive.”
