When closing out the show, Gervais circled back to Weinstein when introducing Sandra Bullock as the night's final presenter for best motion picture, drama. "Our next presenter starred in Netflix's Bird Box, a movie where people survive by acting like they don't see a thing," he said. "Sort of like working for Harvey Weinstein." When the crowd booed, he responded, "You did it. I didn't — you did it! Shut the fuck up." more

Talking about Weinstein was to deflect from their pedophilia. Scapegoat.
And everybody already knows about Epstein so no big deal talking about him (besides it's only just 'underage' girls with Epstein and not children which is what they are really involved with...and underage chicks was 'normalized' with the public by rock stars decades ago).
So no, Ricky didn't 'slam it' to anyone.
Many roasts have happened in the past (Don Rickles) of Hollywood people and there were shocked looks on people's faces those times as well (otherwise it's not a roast, roasts often go too far, or seemingly too far).
