Nikki Glaser Aims to Make JD Vance Dislike Her

In a recent interview with "Deadline," comedian and actress Nikki Glaser discussed her upcoming role in the show "Unsettling," which centers on two childless women who decide to parent together. Glaser revealed her intention to provoke a strong reaction from JD Vance, Donald Trump’s former vice presidential candidate, who previously made disparaging remarks about childless women. Vance's 2021 comments suggested that such women were "miserable" and sought to impose their unhappiness on others, a statement that Glaser found particularly offensive. Glaser, who does not have children, expressed her desire to be the target of Vance's disdain, stating, "I got to get some cats. I want to be the girl this guy hates." Her comments reflect a broader trend among individuals who feel empowered to challenge political figures through their work. However, her motivations raise questions about the emotional toll of engaging in such contentious discourse, especially when it stems from a place of spite. The comedian's reaction to Vance's remarks is not surprising, given her previous admission of feeling "depressed" after Trump's election in 2016. While Glaser has the right to express her disagreement, her decision to take on the role in "Unsettling" as a form of retaliation may lead to personal bitterness. This situation highlights the potential pitfalls of allowing political disagreements to dictate creative choices, suggesting that such motivations can sometimes lead to unhealthy outcomes.
