Stephen Colbert's Late Show has once again found itself at the centre of controversy after the host made a joke about Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, delivered during his monologue, has drawn sharp criticism from viewers and advocacy groups alike.
Public Reaction
Many took to social media to express their disapproval, arguing that the topic of Maxwell and Epstein's crimes is too serious for humour. Some accused Colbert of trivialising the suffering of victims.
Comedy and Sensitivity
The incident has reignited the ongoing debate about the boundaries of comedy. While some defend Colbert's right to tackle difficult subjects through satire, others believe certain topics should remain off-limits.
Network Response
CBS has yet to issue an official statement regarding the controversy. This isn't the first time Colbert's edgy humour has sparked debate, though previous incidents have typically blown over quickly.
