Nikki Glaser sparks fierce debate with 'trafficking' joke in 'SNL'

Nikki Glaser, who is known for being a stand-up comedian, was called out due to her controversial move in Saturday Night Live monologue.

Although the 41-year-old was praised for paying tribute to Taylor Swift, Nikki ignited a debate with her unhinged comedy about sex trafficking and paedophilia.

While recalling about getting her nails done at the saloon, the Dancing With the Stars performer pointed out she cannot talk to the artist because of “slavery.”

She then added about being “obsessed with slavery recently” because the comedian always comes across a poster at the back of the public bathroom’s stall, asking: “If you are being trafficked.”

The TV host then compared it to the male restrooms, noting: “Your signs might be like ‘wanna slave... like text traffic… just 69 69.’”

The jab did not sit well with the online community, who were quick to point it out: “Is it just me or is her sex trafficking jokes of f**king poor taste, considering the victims of Epstein have spoken.”

Another admitted being confused, penning down: “Was this funny or just funny because she tried to be the most offensive.”

Is Nikki Glaser offensive?

However, a die-hard admirer jumped in to defend her, reminding everyone: “Nikki is always hilarious and edgy but this wasn’t the right audience,” claiming to be better suited “for a Netflix special.”
