And it ends with her.
Comedian Nikki Glaser, 40, who is preparing to host the 2025 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, confirmed that there is one area in which she is prohibited from telling jokes.
“I think the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni thing is such an interesting thing right now that just mentioning it would make it seem like I might be on the wrong side of things, even though I never will be,” Glaser told Yahoo. entertainment.
She added: “I also don't want to give his name out – I'm angry because I know his name, to be honest with you, so I don't need to say it anymore.”
Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 40, co-star in the hit summer movie “It Ends With Us” as a couple in an abusive relationship.
They've been a hot topic since this summer, when they didn't appear together at a movie premiere or click together, leading to speculation of a feud. Since December, they have been in an endless number of lawsuits.
On December 20, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, who not only starred in “It Ends With Us” but also directed it.
Lively's lawsuit alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her during filming.
According to legal documents, the “Gossip Girl” star also accused Baldoni of “making a concerted effort to destroy her reputation” after the film was released.
Lively said in the documents that the alleged smear campaign caused harm to her business and caused her family to suffer “severe emotional distress.”
The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” actress also alleged that Baldoni and his allies “engaged in a campaign of 'social manipulation' to 'destroy' her reputation.”
“These allegations are completely false, outrageous, and intentionally indecent with the intent to publicly harm and reshape the narrative in the media,” Baldoni’s attorney told The Post in a statement.
On December 31, Baldoni filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging that the newspaper used “cherry-picked” examples of stories and alleged communications between Baldoni and Lively during filming.
A Times spokesperson said: “The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts wherever they lead. Our story was reported accurately and responsibly. It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents… and we plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”
On Friday, January 3, NBC News asked Baldoni's attorney, Brian Freeman, whether his client plans to sue Lively.
“Absolutely… yes,” Freeman said in the interview that aired on Thursday, January 2.
“We plan to release every text message between them. We want the truth to be out there. We want the documents to be out there,” he continued. “We want people to make their decision based on the receipts.”
The lawyer did not provide a timetable, but indicated that the action would be “soon.”

Regarding her plans to go after celebrities in her Golden Globes opening monologue, Glaser told The Hollywood Reporter: “I'm not going to go out of my way for anyone to be offended. I've been careful not to do that, and that doesn't disappoint anyone hoping I'll pull a Ricky Gervais. I'm I'm not Ricky Gervais. This isn't my last Golden Globe, this is my first. He went hard for his last one and he was ready To burn some bridges [because] It doesn't matter anymore.
She added: “Celebrities should not feel stressed about this [showing they have a sense of humor about themselves is] “A great opportunity for them to look great.”
