A joke about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles drew sharp criticism from Ariel Mitchell, the lawyer representing several women accusing the rapper of serious misconduct.

The Controversial Joke

Glaser’s joke centered on Diddy’s notorious “freak-offs,” claiming that authorities found “1,000 bottles of baby oil” during a raid on his property. She quipped, “The afterparty isn’t gonna be as good this year. No baby oil, just olive oil.” While the audience laughed, the remark sparked outrage online and among Diddy’s accusers.

Lawyer Responds to the Remarks

Ariel Mitchell, who represents several of Diddy’s accusers, called the joke deeply insensitive. “Ms. Glaser should be ashamed of herself,” she said. “Using my clients’ pain and trauma as a punchline for the country’s amusement is both callous and inappropriate.” Mitchell added that such jokes trivialize the seriousness of the allegations against Diddy.

Social media users quickly weighed in, with many criticizing Glaser for making light of allegations involving sexual misconduct and trafficking. “There’s nothing funny about exploiting victims’ suffering,” one user wrote. Another added, “It’s not just a bad joke—it’s disrespectful to everyone impacted by these cases.”

While many condemned the joke, others defended Glaser, citing the tradition of edgy humor in awards show monologues. “This is what comedians do,” one fan argued. “They push boundaries, even if it makes people uncomfortable.” Still, the backlash highlights the challenges comedians face when addressing sensitive topics in today’s climate.

Diddy’s Legal Challenges

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with multiple civil lawsuits alleging misconduct. Though his lawyers have denied all allegations, calling them baseless, the controversy continues to grow. Glaser’s joke has only added more attention to an already high-profile case.

Glaser has not yet responded to the criticism, but the incident raises questions about the responsibility of comedians and producers when addressing serious legal and social issues at major events. With the Golden Globes striving to maintain relevance, moments like these can blur the line between humor and insensitivity.
