Nikki Glaser Faces Massive Backlash For 'Horribly Messed Up' Diddy 'Freak Off' Jokes At Golden Globes

Nikki Glaser has come under fire for a joke she made about embattled rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs during her opening monologue for the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

Viewers branded the joke as "pathetic and gross," with some also claiming that it was insensitive to sexual assault victims.

Sean "Diddy" Combs remains in detention ahead of his trial in May, where he will face charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.

When Glaser made a joke about Diddy during the opening of this year's Golden Globe ceremony, she likely didn't expect it to upset fans on social media.

The stand-up comedian had first thrown in a joke about Diddy while praising Zendaya and her film "Challengers."

She said, "Zendaya is here - Zendaya, you were incredible in 'Dune.' Oh, my God, I woke up for all. And 'Challengers,' girl? Oh, my God, that was so good. That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy's credit card."

Amid the reaction from the audience, Glaser doubled down on the joke by referencing Diddy's infamous "freak offs."

She continued, "I'm sorry, I'm upset, too. The afterparty isn't gonna be as good this year. But we have to move on - 'Stanley Tucci freak off' doesn't have the same ring to it - no baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil."

Concerned viewers immediately took to social media to express their outrage at Glaser for making a joke about the sexual scandal the embattled rapper is involved in.

One user said, "The issue with these Diddy jokes is that ppl swear up and down they're poking fun of the abusers but in reality it's poking fun at abuse the victims went through. He abused so many, which included children. Nikki Glaser is already painfully unfunny, but this is pathetic and gross."

A second user commented, "OK, Nikki Glaser should seriously be barred from awards like this for such a HORRIBLY MESSED UP joke. It is completely insensitive to SA victims who've been through such awful experiences with this vile man."

Another viewer wrote, "I didn't know who Nikki Glaser was before today I want to never hear about her again hopefully this Diddy joke kills any stand she was getting."

When Diddy was arrested in September, and his indictment was unsealed, it was revealed that his infamous Freak Offs were central to the sex crime charges brought against him.

According to Page Six, the document also disclosed that law enforcement agents seized over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, which were used in the "Freak Offs."

To facilitate these events and handle other logistical needs, Diddy allegedly employed several individuals who were members of his Combs Enterprises.

The "Freak Offs" were reportedly also filled with instances where the music mogul assaulted the females by hitting, kicking, dragging, and throwing objects at them.

Meanwhile, Diddy was said to have "maintained control over his victims through, among other things, physical violence, promises of career opportunities, granting and threatening to withhold financial support."

The rapper also engaged in "tracking their whereabouts, dictating the victims' appearance, monitoring their medical records, controlling their housing, and supplying them with controlled substances."

At the moment, Diddy remains in detention ahead of his federal trial on May 5, 2025, but is expected to return to court on March 17.

If he is ultimately found guilty of the sex crime charges, he could face life in prison if the maximum sentence is imposed.

During the trial, more details about his crimes are expected to be revealed from witnesses brought forward by the prosecutors.

In the meantime, the allegations will be addressed on the small screen in Peacock's upcoming documentary about the rapper, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy."

Many of Diddy's inner circle were interviewed for the project, which will also feature never-before-seen footage of the rapper.

The documentary is scheduled to debut on January 14 and will mark the first project to address the allegations against Diddy in 2025.

Diddy's lawyers have since hit back at the upcoming Peacock Documentary after its trailer dropped, where several of his known associates were interviewed.

According to the Daily Mail, in a lengthy statement released on Friday, Diddy's lawyer said that these "documentaries include unchecked claims and provide platforms for baseless conspiracy theories without accountability or evidence."

They added, "In the case of the Peacock documentary in particular, the motivations and credibility of those being interviewed must be questioned. Many claim to have knowledge but lack any connection to the truth, while their wild, unfounded theories are cut and sensationalized to appear factual."
