Yesterday, we reported that an “America’s Got Talent” contestant dared to call judge Heidi Klum a “tramp” during a standup comedy routine. Now, the German supermodel is responding.
After taking the stage on Tuesday night, the comedian Siddiquee started off strong and had the judges laughing. However, things went downhill when he targeted Klum after making a joke about club music, claiming that the DJ could say anything he wanted, even if it’s “women shouldn’t vote.”
“Beats are just too fun. When that beat drops, so does feminism,” Siddiquee joked. “Some of you are skeptical, but I’ll prove it. Heidi, if I called you a tramp, you’d be like, ‘How dare you!'”
He added that if he had a good beat going in between repeating the word “tramp,” she might not mind it as much. Unfortunately for him, however, Klum did mind, and called him out for his rudeness after his set was completed. Despite this, Siddiquee still stands by the joke.
“It wasn’t calling her a tramp at all. It was talking about how lyrics are not looked at when there’s a beat behind it,” Siddiquee explained to Entertainment Tonight. “So the joke I’m not apologizing for, I love the joke. I love what I did, I had a great time.”
“All love to Heidi, all love to all the judges,” he added. “All love to Heidi. I mean, she’s a star, she’s worked as a judge. I mean, you know, comedy creates reactions in people, it’s a very powerful kind of art form where you say something and people have visceral reactions to it.”
When asked if he wanted to apologize for the joke, however, Siddiquee refused to and instead stood by it.
“I don’t want to apologize… I stand by the joke,” he said.
As for Klum, she said after Tuesday’s show that Siddiquee is “a very good comedian.”
“I just didn’t love his material so much today. It was just not for me,” Klum explained to reporters. “It’s hard to be a comedian now, to know what can you joke about still, but I don’t know, to me, it was not so funny.”
