Nikki Glaser has received reviews from Sean "Diddy" Combs attorneys for the charges after she made a joke about the rapper's infamous parties during her Golden Globes monologue.
One attorney noted that jokes like the one Glaser shared at the ceremony "are why so many victims of sexual assault never come forward and report their abuse."
Nikki Glaser was previously called out by viewers watching the Golden Globes, with many describing her joke as "pathetic" and "horribly messed up."

Lawyers for Diddy's defendants claim that comedians like Nikki Glaser are keeping the victims quiet
Glaser continues to face backlash over his Diddy "Freak Off" joke, this time from two lawyers representing several of the rappers who have accused him.
According to TMJattorney Ariel Mitchell criticized the Golden Globes host, saying she was surprised a stand-up comic would make such remarks despite Glaser being a woman.
"Shedding light on this ugly situation is exactly why so many victims of sexual assault never come forward and report their abuse," said Mitchell, who represents one of the alleged victims, Ashley Parham.
Parham claimed that Diddy violently gang-raped her in retaliation for a diss she made about the rapper's alleged involvement in Tupac Shakur's murder.

What Nikki Glaser Said About Diddy's 'Freak Offs'
Although it was her first time hosting the Golden Globes, Glaser didn't hold back in delivering her jokes during her opening monologue.
After making jokes about others in attendance, Glaser turned her attention to actress Zendaya, whom she praised for her role in "The Challengers."
"Zendaya is here — Zendaya, you were amazing in Dune. Oh my God, I woke up to everything. And Challengers, girl? Oh my God, that was so good," she said, according to Daily Mail.
She then made an out-of-the-blue joke about Diddy's sex scandal before doubling down on it in response to the crowd's reaction.

"That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy's credit card," Glaser continued, "I'm sorry, I'm upset too. The afterparty won't be as good this year. But we have to move on... 'Stanley Tucci freak-off' doesn't have the same sound. No baby oil this year, just a lot of olive oil."

Social media users called out Nikki Glaser for the prank
On social media, viewers who watched the ceremony criticized Glaser for making light of such a sensitive topic.
One user said: "The problem with these Diddy jokes is that (people) swear up and down that they're making fun of abusers, but in reality, it's making fun of the abuse the victims went through. He abused so many, including Nikki Glaser's kids are already painfully unfunny, but this is pathetic and gross."
Someone else commented: "OK, Nikki Glaser needs to be seriously banned from giving awards like this for such a horribly messed up joke. It's completely insensitive to the victims of SA who went through such horrible experiences with this vile man."
Another viewer wrote: "I didn't know who Nikki Glaser was until today, I want to never hear from her again, I hope this Diddy joke kills every attitude she has."

Diddy remains in custody until his trial in May
Diddy's next court appearance is scheduled for March 17. The subject of the hearing remains unclear, but it is not expected to be a bail hearing, as the rapper previously withdrew a bail appeal he filed.
The withdrawal comes after the rapper was denied bail for the third time, causing him to reportedly suffer a breakdown over the festive season.
He currently remains in custody ahead of a federal trial on May 5, 2025, where he will be tried on sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution charges.
If ultimately convicted of a sex crime, he could face up to life in prison if given the maximum sentence.
How the disgraced rapper rang in the new year
Diddy experienced a less-than-luxurious Christmas and New Year in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.
According to People Magazinethe battle rapper was served steak and cheese on a hot dog bun on Tuesday, December 31, 2024. Baked potatoes, green beans and margarine were also on the side.
This is a huge contrast to the typically lavish meals the music mogul is used to.
On New Year's Day, Diddy ate either a chicken sandwich or a chickpea patty with beans and rice, corn and mayo.
The report of his holiday meals comes after it was revealed the rapper looked "stunningly thinner" and "put off weight" during his latest court appearance.
