Berner has since clarified that the joke was filmed well before Blake Lively became embroiled in a legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni. Berner expressed her support for Lively and emphasized that the joke was not intended to be malicious or add fuel to any ongoing controversies. She explained that the timing of the joke's release was unfortunate and unintentional, as it was filmed months before the current legal situation involving Lively and Baldoni arose.
