Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged victims’ lawyers slam Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes joke

Nikki Glaser’s joke about Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs at the 2025 Golden Globes has sparked backlash, including from lawyers representing alleged victims of Diddy.

Ariel Mitchell and Tyrone Blackburn, attorneys for the victims, have criticised the comedian’s attempt to make light of the situation. Mitchell expressed hope that Nikki herself has never been a victim of sexual assault or mockery.

She continued, “making light of this ugly situation is exactly why so many sexual assault victims never come forward and report their abuse,” adding that one would assume Nikki, a woman, would “know better.” Blackburn echoed these sentiments, stating to TMZ that he’d expect a comedian of Nikki’s success “to find humour that doesn’t make light of drugging and rape”.

The first time a woman has hosted the 82nd Annual Golden Globes solo on January 5 was when Nikki did it on Sunday, January 5. The 40-year-old made a controversial joke about the disgraced music mogul in her monologue about the tennis drama Challengers, which stars Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor.

“That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card”, she quipped. “I mean, seriously, I’m upset too. Although this year’s after party won’t be as good, we must move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it. This year, there was only a lot of olive oil.

Glaser was referencing the seizure of 1, 000 bottles of lube and baby oil from Diddy’s home in September last year, claimed by authorities to be supplies for the rapper’s alleged “freak off” parties. His parties allegedly engaged in extended sex acts by using force, threats of force, and coercion.

Diddy is currently behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, facing serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. According to the Mirror US, the 55-year-old rapper was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York City and later charged with indictment.

According to the indictment, Diddy allegedly led a “criminal enterprise” where he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct”. Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison if found guilty of the charges. Despite the grave accusations, Diddy has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty and refuting the escalating claims.

He will remain in custody until his trial in May 2025 because his requests for release have been repeatedly denied.

The Mirror have reached out to Nikki’s reps for comment.
