Hannah was one of a few comedians to take part in the recent Netflix comedy roast Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year, and during her set she ended up telling a joke about Blake that seemed directly related to the wave of criticism that the actor faced during the alleged smear campaign.

"The word 'c*nt' was trending this year," Hannah observed, before joking, "I don't think Blake Lively was that bad."

Obviously, Hannah's joke was, among other things, not exactly well-timed — and she issued a short statement on her IG Story to clear the air in response to any hubbub around it.

"My joke in the Netflix roast was filmed before news of the [legal filing]," Hannah wrote. "To be 100 percent clear, I support Blake xoxo."
