Ariel Mitchell, the attorney representing alleged victims of Sean "Daddy" Combs, has slammed Golden Globes host Nikki Glazer for joking about the abuse allegations during Sunday's awards ceremony.
Mitchell, who represents several women who have accused Daddy of sexual assault and trafficking, told The Daily Beast that she hopes "karma doesn't make [Glaser] eat her words."
In an email, Mitchell expressed her frustration, saying, "My clients are never happy to have their trauma made fun of, and Ms. Glazer should be ashamed of herself." She reiterated her remarks initially made to TMZ, where she hoped that Glazer had never experienced sexual harassment or ridicule for her.
Glazer, who is known for her sharp comedy, made several comments about Diddy during the event, but reportedly made even more snarky jokes during the build-up. An unused line suggested, "This is the last time you'll all be in the same room until the Daddy trial."
Mitchell criticized the Globes for allowing such comments, questioning why victims would expect their experiences to be mocked at a non-music industry event. Glazer has yet to publicly respond to the backlash.
Despite the controversy, Golden Globes executive producer Glenn Weiss praised Glazer's performance, calling her hosting a "home run" and hinting at her possible long-term involvement with the show.
The lawyer's comments come amid ongoing legal cases against Diddy, allegations that continue to dominate headlines.
