Comedian Hannah Berner breaks silence on Blake Lively Netflix roast joke that sent shockwaves through fans
As a dedicated fan who has followed Hannah Berner‘s career rise from Bravo’s Summer House to Netflix, I must say I was taken aback by her ill-timed joke about Blake Lively during the comedy special. Having been an avid listener of The Giggly Squad, I know that Hannah usually delivers hilarious and witty humor, but this time it seemed to miss the mark.
However, upon learning that her joke was made before the news of the lawsuit broke out, I can’t help but feel a sigh of relief. As someone who believes in giving people the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to comedy, I stand by Hannah and support her 100%.
Now, let me share a little joke to lighten up the situation: Why don’t some jokes work in a courtroom? Because they lack substance and evidence!
I hope that Hannah continues to grow as a comedian and finds success in her future endeavors. And who knows, maybe one day she’ll be able to roast us all on Netflix without any controversy!
Hannah Berner finally spoke up regarding the surprising jest she made about Blake Lively during a Netflix event.
The comedian used a crude term humorously in a jest concerning the actress, hinting at the mockery she endured last year as the Gossip Girl star.
Her inopportune joke made it onto the Netflix comedy special “Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year,” a show that came out on Friday following the fallout from Lively’s legal dispute with her co-star, Justin Baldoni.
In the course of their work on “It Ends With Us,” she asserted that her co-star had repeatedly sexually harassed her during filming, followed by orchestrating a malicious gossip campaign against her.
Berners co-hosts the much-loved podcast, The Giggly Squad, alongside fellow Bravo Summer House cast member, Paige DeSorbo. This summer, she made her mark in comedy by securing her first Netflix stand-up special.
On stage, Berner joked to the audience, “The term ‘vulgar word’ was popular this year,” then quipped, “I don’t believe Blake Lively was all that terrible.” The jest prompted laughter from the crowd.
On Friday, Berner shared updates about the sequence of events on her Instagram Stories, expressing full support for Lively throughout the process.
In her Netflix appearance, the former Summer House cast member mentioned that her joke was recorded prior to learning about the lawsuit against Blake. She made it explicitly clear that she stands in full support of Blake with affectionate regards.
Worldwide news outlets buzzed as Lively claimed in court documents that Baldoni, aged 40, had harassed her during filming.
As an ardent admirer putting this into my own words, let me recount a disturbing tale. I allege that Baldoni, in a moment of questionable conduct, invaded Lively’s make-up trailer when she was bare-chested. He then displayed explicit images and a graphic video of his wife giving birth, repeatedly discussed his ‘porn addiction’, described his private parts, and even went so far as to simulate an improvised kiss by biting and sucking on Lively’s lips – all for multiple takes that he demanded.
The lawsuit additionally asserted that Baldoni had stated he was conversing with Lively’s deceased father, and furthermore, he criticized her body size by inquiring about her weight.
The statement also asserted that Baldoni’s PR team allegedly intended to damage Lively’s reputation, referring to a text message sent by his publicist Melissa Nathan which said: ‘We have the power to discredit anyone.’
After the filing, Baldoni has faced several consequences. The actor, who was also the director of the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book with the same title, has been let go by WME talent agency. He has also ended his partnership for his podcast and lost the ‘The Voices of Solidarity Award’ that was to be given by the Vital Voices organization.
According to reports, Lively is planning to pursue additional legal steps against her co-star from “It Ends With Us,” Justin Baldoni. Insiders claim that her explosive lawsuit is merely the beginning, hinting at more revelations to come.
The movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2016 top-selling book premiered in August, raking in over $350 million at the box office while only costing $25 million to produce, making it a significant financial success.
The story revolves around Lily Bloom, a florist portrayed by Lively, who finds herself falling for a captivating yet abusive neurosurgeon, characteristically played and directed by Baldoni.
As a connoisseur of all things style-related, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with not one but two extraordinary talents – Hoover and Lively – in our cinematic journey together. And while my professional ties have been strong with both, I must admit that I stand wholeheartedly behind Lively in her endeavors, recognizing the unique brilliance she brings to the table.
On the very same day as Lively’s concerns emerged, the author posted on Instagram: “Blake, you’ve always been truthful, caring, encouraging, and understanding ever since our first encounter. I appreciate you for being just the wonderful person that you are. Always stay genuine. Always remain strong.
In a turn of events that brought me into the limelight, I was part of the vibrant cast in the beloved coming-of-age movie, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Sharing screen time with me were America Ferrera, famously known for her role as Barbie, Alexis Bladel from Gilmore Girls, and Amber Tambyln.
The three actors who’ve been acquainted with Lively since her teenage years (she was 18) have subsequently released a collective statement.
As a long-time devotee of Baldoni, I can’t help but speak up when I see such unjust accusations. Standing side by side with Blake for over two decades, I stand in unity with her, as she courageously defends herself against the alleged smear campaign targeting her reputation.
During the production of “It Ends with Us,” she displayed bravery by advocating for a secure working environment not only for herself but also for her colleagues on set. It’s deeply disturbing to learn about the calculated and malicious attempts that followed, aimed at undermining her credibility after she spoke up.
What’s truly disheartening is the blatant use of accounts from domestic violence survivors, meant to discredit a woman seeking protection, showing an incredible level of hypocrisy.
The truth hits us hard: Even when a woman like our friend Blake is powerful, admired, and well-resourced, she may still encounter harsh backlash for advocating for a secure work environment. Nevertheless, we are moved by her bravery in standing up not only for herself but also for others.
