Nikki Glaser is apologizing for a recent joke.
During a recent comedy show in Ridgefield, Washington, the 42-year-old comedian made a joke about Briel Adams-Wheatley, a transgender influencer who was born without limbs.
On Thursday (September 25), Briel, 27, took to her Instagram Story to share a screenshot of a DM she received from a fan who informed her of Nikki‘s joke.
“Were you aware you are a topic in Nikki Glaser’s current set?” the fan asked Briel. “I didn’t like the jokes. Love your content, thought you should be aware.”
After Briel asked what the joke was, the fans said that Nikki gave her “lots of compliments” before joking that the TikTok star already had a “hard life with no limbs but still decided to transition.”
Nikki then allegedly joked that Briel “had to” transition because she “rubbed [her] penis off with the way [she dragged herself] across the room.”

Briel tagged Nikki in the post and wrote, “Why are you making comments about what is or is not in my pants?”
She added, “I bought tickets for your show in November and now I’m really rethinking my plans.”
Hours later, Briel shared another screenshot of a DM she received from Nikki.
“Hey girl. I’m so sorry this got back to you like this,” Nikki wrote. “I should have reached out to you. I never meant to hurt your feelings at all. This is not an accurate portrayal of the joke, but I’m sure it’s still not fun to hear you’re in my act.”
“I HATE anti trans jokes of all kinds, and to think I may have added to that rhetoric is disgusting to me,” she added. “I make sure to say in the joke multiple times, ‘I love her, please follow her, she’s so f***ing funny and cool.’ (Not that that takes away from anything if you were offended by it.)”
“But I want you to know my intent. it’s a dumb joke and I will lose it immediately. I love you and I’m so sorry!” Nikki concluded.
If you didn’t see, Nikki revealed the “insane” life advice she got from Kim Kardashian.
