Ariana Grande, Adrien Brody, Angelina Jolie, and other Hollywood stars stepped out in their red-carpet best at the Golden Globes on Sunday, the first major awards ceremony in a year without a clear frontrunner for the top movie accolades.
Stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser hosted the champagne-fueled festivities for the first time and while she gave the audience several reasons to laugh, one of her jokes left celebrities in a nervous chuckle.
While making note of all those celebrities who made it to the news this year, she went to Zendaya and congratulated the star on her performance in Dune Part Two.
"Girl, that movie was more charged than Diddy's credit card," allegedly referring to the erotic scenes in the movie.
For the unversed, Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in 2024 on the charges of sex trafficking and sexual assault.
"Oh no, I am upset too. The afterparty is not going to be as good this year. But we have to move on. I know the Stanley Tucci freak-off does not have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil," she went on to say leaving the audience unsure how to react.
Her comments come as, during raids of Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, Florida, authorities had found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant among other things.
However, her jokes did not land as well on social media as she would have expected them to.
"Can we stop making “jokes” of a predator sexually assaulting women, men and children? it’s not funny. his victims deserve better," wrote a user on X, while another said: "And now we joke about it? This is terrible."
