What did Reneé Rapp say about Jo Koy's jokes at the Golden Globes event? Exploring Mean Girls star's Tik-Tok remarks
Reneé Rapp voices her discontent with Jo Koy's Golden Globes jokes in a TikTok video, sparking online discussions about perceived sexism.
Reneé Rapp didn't seem thrilled with Jo Koy's Golden Globes monologue, and she made her sentiments known in a TikTok video with Mean Girls co-stars Angourie Rice, Avantika, and Bebe Wood.
Reneé Rapp slams Jo Koy for making "sexist comments" at Golden Globes
The four actresses shared their "in" and "out" trends for 2024, and when it was Rapp's turn, she didn't hold back in expressing what she found displeasing at the prestigious awards event.
Rapp began by mentioning a negative encounter earlier in the day, saying, “My outs… First is the man that yelled at me this morning at 8 a.m. and told me to smile. Go to hell.” However, it was her second out that caught attention, as she said, “And also my out was the man that was making a bunch of jokes about women last night at the Golden Globes.” This remark seemed directed at Jo Koy, the 52-year-old comedian who delivered the opening monologue at the event.
Koy's monologue included a quip about Barbie being "based on a plastic doll with big boobies," among other jokes that received a chilly response from the celebrity audience. Another joke about Taylor Swift having "fewer camera shots" at the Globes than at an NFL game didn't seem to amuse Taylor Swift. Koy, in response to the reactions, explained that he only "got the gig ten days ago."
Online reviews of Koy's monologue were mixed, with some labeling certain jokes as "sexist" on social media platforms. However, Rapp received praise in the comments of the Mean Girls TikTok video for bringing attention to the moment. One commenter commended Rapp for "calling out the sexist jokes at the golden globes," while another suggested that Jo Koy had angered "Regina mf George."
The online debate continued, with some appreciating Rapp for "keeping it real as always" and urging others to "stan" her for calling out the comedian. On the flip side, supporters like Whoopi Goldberg came to Koy's defense, acknowledging the challenges of hosting and stating that hosting gigs are "brutal."
How did Jo Koy react after the social media controversy
Despite the social media backlash, Jo Koy expressed his enthusiasm about potentially hosting the award show again, stating that he would "love to" do it with more time to prepare, ideally with five months instead of nine days. He highlighted the positive atmosphere at the event, noting that Hollywood was back in action, and he enjoyed celebrating with the crowd.
