Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue at the 2025 Golden Globes sparked a mix of laughter and discomfort as she addressed the controversy surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. With her characteristic sharp wit, Glaser touched on Diddy’s legal troubles, referencing the allegations against him, including racketeering and sex trafficking.
The punchline about Zendaya’s Challengers being “more sexually charged than a Diddy credit card” drew mixed reactions, highlighting the tension in the room. She didn’t stop there, humorously lamenting the absence of Diddy at the after-party, joking about the lack of his infamous “baby oil” ambiance, and playfully comparing it to a Stanley Tucci-led gathering featuring olive oil instead.
While Glaser’s comments aimed to lighten the mood, they also served as a bold reminder of the seriousness of Diddy’s ongoing legal issues, which have captivated public attention. Diddy has firmly denied the accusations, maintaining that all his past encounters were consensual, and his trial is scheduled for May 2025.
The reception to Glaser’s jokes and Diddy’s absence at the Golden Globes after-party has undoubtedly fueled further discussion about the intersection of celebrity, scandal, and comedy on live television.
