Nikki Glaser is erring on the side of caution when it comes to jokes about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni … confirming she won’t mention the hot-button topic during Sunday’s Golden Globes.
The comedian, who is hosting the annual awards show for the first time this weekend, made it known she’s steering clear of the controversy … out of fear of ending up on the “wrong side of things.”
While chatting with Yahoo Entertainment, Nikki acknowledged the on-set feud-turned-legal war between the “It Ends With Us” costars is all anyone can talk about … but the “mere mention” of the scandal on Sunday could end with her accidentally putting her foot in it.
Fellow comedian Hannah Berner already went through it … she faced backlash for calling Blake a “c****” in a Netflix special filmed before BL’s legal complaint surfaced.
TMZ broke the story … Blake formally sued Justin, her “It Ends With Us” director and costar, after accusing JB of sexual harassment in a legal complaint filed earlier in December.
Justin denied the allegations … and subsequently sued the New York Times, the newspaper that covered Blake’s initial legal complaint, for allegedly cherry-picking details and altering key communications in its breakdown of the drama.
Nikki did indicate her support for Blake, however … telling the outlet she doesn’t want to give Justin any more attention.
She added … “I’m mad I even know his name, to be honest with you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”
Nikki said she also vetoed Donald Trump jokes, too … as she feels people “are just tired of hearing about it.”

In fact, viewers should expect a relatively tame monologue from Nikki — at least, by her standards. She promised she wouldn’t go “so hard” … in an effort to avoid offending a bunch of celebrities.
We’re sure this is a relief to those attending on Sunday!!!
