Nikki Glaser’s joke about P. Diddy doesn’t make everyone laugh

It is a ritual of American film ceremonies, the season of which has just opened with the Golden Globes on Sunday January 5. The presenters of these events have the difficult task of entertaining their audience during these evenings which sometimes last more than three hours. To avoid boredom, nothing better than making jokes about Hollywood news. But sometimes, certain not very clever jokes don’t go down very well, like that of Nikki Glaser – the first female presenter in the history of the Golden Globes – on the person of the rapper P. Diddy, accused of having put his empire at the service of a “ system» sex trafficking.

« Zendaya you were amazing in Dune. I woke up to all your scenes. You played so well…and Challengers ? Oh my God ! This movie is more sexually charged than P. Diddy’s accusations », Launched the presenter on stage. In Challengersa romance by Luca Guadagnino known for his sensual films, the ex-Disney actress plays Tashi, a former tennis player who falls under the spell of two tennis players, Patrick Zweig and Art Donaldson.

Jokingly, Nikki Glaser continued her (bad?) joke by referring to the numerous parties organized by P. Diddy, for which he is also accused of having sexually assaulted several women, including minors. “ I’m sad. The after-party isn’t going to be as good as last year but we have to deal with it. » Zendaya, who was present in the room, emitted a nervous laugh, looking away, as relayed The Independent. Lawyer Ariel Mitchell, representing Ashley Parham, one of P. Diddy’s victims, reacted to TMZ after this release of dubious taste. “ Taking this unpleasant situation lightly is precisely why so many victims of sexual assault never come forward and report the abuse they have suffered. “, she said. An opinion shared by Tyrone Blackburn, the lawyer for other victims of P. Diddy who did not expect that a “ Also famous comedian makes jokes on this subject ».

A presentation however welcomed

Despite this joke, Nikki Glaser’s presentation was nevertheless praised by the American press, which is already raising the possibility that she will return for the next edition. Guest of the SiriusXM show presented by Howard Stern, the 40-year-old comedian notably revealed that she had kept other “humorous traits” under her belt, starting with yet another allusion to P. Diddy. “ This is the last time we will all be in the same room until P. Diddy’s trial “, she also wanted to say, making a barely veiled reference to the many stars who would potentially be involved in this affair.

Nikki Glaser also removed from her monologue a remark (malicious or unwelcome, depending) on ​​the film Conclave. « I loved it Conclave. It’s about choosing a new pope. It was so comforting. It will touch you so much that the church will have to show it in another cinema. And bonus: you don’t need an ID card to enter an After Party Conclave“. Finally, she also made the decision not to laugh about the fatal accident that occurred during the filming of Rustwhere Alec Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. “ Michael Keaton was amazing in Beatlejuice Beatlejuice. Unfortunately, Alec Baldwin did not return in this sequel in his role as a ghost because he was too busy creating one. Is laughter the hallmark of Hollywood…not sure.
