Justin Baldoni Plans to Release “Every” Text Message and Sue Blake Lively, Attorney Says
Nikki Glaser has a boundary for her Golden Globes opening monologue—and it ends with this.
While the comedian—who is pulling double duty as both host and nominee at the Jan. 5 award show in Los Angeles—knows the legal battles surrounding It Ends With Us costars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been making waves, she plans to steer clear of that conversation.
“I think [it] is such a hot-button thing right now,” Glaser told Yahoo Entertainment on Jan. 2, “that even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things, even though I would never be.”
The 40-year-old emphasized her support of Lively, who filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and others on New Year’s Eve, citing sexual harassment and retaliation, after filing a legal complaint more than a week prior.
Referring to Baldoni, who has denied Lively’s allegations and through his attorney has stated plans to sue the Gossip Girl alum in addition to his ongoing suit against The New York Times, Glaser added, “I also don’t want to give his name any—I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”
