Hannah Berner walks back on calling Blake Lively the c-word in horribly timed Netflix special: ‘To be 100 percent clear…’

Talk about a c—y joke.
Hannah Berner, who labeled Blake Lively the c-word in a new Netflix comedy special, says she supports the actress after the latter filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni last week.
Berner, 33, joked about Lively being a “c–t” in “Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year,” a roast-style special hosted by Jeff Ross featuring comics bidding good riddance to 2024 “by throwing shade at the biggest moments of the past 12 months,” per Netflix.
The former reality TV star-turned-comedian alluded to headlines about Lively, 37, that circulated around the time her movie “It Ends With Us” hit theaters, which largely centered on her rumored feud with Baldoni and painted her as a “mean girl.”
“The word c–t was trending this year,” Berner said in a clip from the comedy special, adding, “I don’t think Blake Lively was that bad.”
“Torching 2024” was recorded on Dec. 17, three days before Lively filed her lawsuit against Baldoni in which she accused him of sexual harassment and claimed he allegedly instigated a “coordinated” and public “smear” campaign to “destroy her reputation.”
