Getty Images Wanda Sykes says Bill Maher confronted her after she dissed him on the Golden Globes stage in January.
Presenting the award for best performance in stand-up comedy, Sykes joked, “There’s some people pissed off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys … but first I want to give them some love.”
Sykes began roasting the nominees, starting with Bill Maher. “Bill Maher, you give us so much,” she said, “but I would love a little less.” The camera caught Maher staring at the stage with a slight smile, seemingly unsure how to react. “Just try less,” Sykes continued.
