I used to be a Kathy Griffin fan. When she hooked up with Tyler Shields for the photograph that cost her pretty much her entire career in May of last year I thought she had gone to far. If you put things into perspective, Kathy had a sister with terminal cancer at the time. I can tell you from personal experience that is a harrowing thing to go through. He sister died four months after that photo was taken. During all of that, there was the most brutal backlash against a famous person I can recall. The only thing that seems to be in any way similar to how people have reacted to her is the public’s view of Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. They have been accused of raping and sexually assaulting dozens of women. I’m not sure that a very distasteful photo shoot that disturbed people not just because of the subject matter itself but for the depiction of a beheading of anyone during a time when people were being beheaded by Islamic terrorists deserves the same punishment that serial rapists should get.
Maybe Tyler Shields was right when he compared the backlash against The Dixie Chicks and their offensive comments about President Bush to Kathy’s situation in an interview with Architectural Digest.
And the photographer has one more comparison between the musical group’s 2002 comments publicly disavowing former President George W. Bush and Shields’s picture of Griffin: “When they said what they said, people weren’t ready to hear it. When we did that photograph, people hadn’t seen anything like that before. That’s the point of living in this country: You can make something people don’t like.”
As this terrifying presidency goes on, maybe the horror and disgust we felt over that photo has diminished. Maybe we can reconsider the punishment. Maybe it is time to let Kathy Griffin do her job again.
Kathy has spent the last few months on a world tour taking her comedy act on the road. She is on the Interpol list and was questioned for hours by the Secret Service. So when she travels now she has legitimate concerns about being allowed into, and perhaps even out of, certain countries. Even the aforementioned rapists don’t have that worry.
This week, Kathy is taking steps toward being back on the US map. She had a really well-written piece published in Time this week. It’s about the red carpet before award ceremonies and how they are basically reducing women down to their fashion when they have so much more to say right now. How the times have changed.
I honestly don’t think many American women are watching and writing down words like “Diane von Furstenberg” or “Oscar de la Renta.” With everything going on in the world, you don’t need the red carpet to make the average American feel like s—t. Fashion will always be a part of it—and every blog in the world is going to take it apart, tearing it apart or praising it. If I had Frances McDormand on the red carpet—God love her, no one wants to know what makeup she wears, because she doesn’t wear any—I would have a printout of the three billboards that were erected in London to seek justice for the Grenfell fire, and ask her what she thought. And I’d also ask, by the way, before you go, is Sam Rockwell really a good kisser? You can do both!
Also in this piece was this sentence, “You can’t ask them to spin in front of a camera. These poor women have spun enough.” And it made me thing of a misogynist we know all too well around here.
This week she has two TV appearances. The first two since her incident last May. On Thursday night she will be on Jimmy Kimmell and on Friday she will be on Real Time with Bill Maher. The ratings may have a great impact on her fate. If you think she has been through enough, tune in and give her some support. Click on over to her Time magazine article and give the views a bump. If you want her to continue to pay for her very bad decision don’t.
I for one will be tuning in.
I have been a Kathy fan for a long time and did not like the pictures she took w Shields nor the way it was handled shortly thereafter. That being said, people have done FAR worse and have gotten FAR less flack than this lady has. She was blacklisted and essentially still is but hopefully this is a new start for her. She has very interesting things to say and never holds back. Its time to move on. #teamkathy
Same!
I have always loved Kathy. While I understood why her photos were upsetting, I never thought that she should have apologized. I wish that her dear friend Joan had been alive to support her during that time. Certainly her strength through all of this should be admired. I was beyond disgusted at the fair weather friends Andy and Anderson kicked her to the curb. She would have NEVER treated them with such disrespect. I wish her great success.
Me too. I’ve seen her several times with both my mother and my daughters. Glad to see she’s coming back.
P.S. Andy stomping on her grave royally pissed me off and ruined the New Year’s show.
Andy sucks. Kathy is so much funnier. And Anderson, come on. Come ON, Anderson. We are the company we keep.
I don’t think he will be asked back bc that was a disaster!
Yoya, very well said.
When she was just beginning to bad mouth and tell secrets of celebrities there was a luncheon honoring a few women, Kathy being one of them. Another woman went to stand with her for photos but was called down by other women who refused to be photographed with her. Kathy stood alone and handled it all with a smile. I felt bad for her, she did not deserve that just because if her comedy.
She’s great in concert. I’ve seen her a few times.
I think it’s time to move on. Children are afraid to go to school because there’s a chance they will be shot by an assault weapon. Parents are buying bullet proof backpacks. My son and I talk about where he could hide in his tiny Cooperative School. #Perspective.
Forget about Trump, Kathy can never be accepted back into the celebrity community until she first apologizes for lying about the beloved Andy Cohen. ????
I really liked Kathy and have been to one of her shows, super fun! I was surprised by the backlash considering how left Hollywood is. I didn’t like the picture her and Tyler decided to make but would not have thought the consequences would be that high. What really got to me was her reaction to it all. I wish she would have said, sorry, it was an Art Piece, it was disrespectfully, and I will fully corporate with the Secret Service. The End. But she she didn’t do that, it was a Sorry Not Sorry type of thing and then went on and on about how mean everyone is. She really needed to own that and shut up.
So at this point she is just trying to dig herself out of a hole that she made deeper and deeper. I certainly think she will come back.
This is kind of true, but considering her sister had terminal cancer at the time…it seemed like she thought it would be an opportunity to capitalize on the controversy, and it backfired?
The picture was in poor taste considering the ISIS beheadings but it was her post pre/post statements that pissed me off.
The comments she had made months prior about considering Barron Trump fair game and then the misplaced victim press conference.
Still think she should be able to come back but like I said it wasn’t the picture that put her on my shit list.
Precisely, sherry.
It is still amazing to me that a place that is filled with nothing but the elitist left, and who revere people like Polanski and Woody Allen, even thought twice about what Kathy did. I thought they would applaud her bravery. Her behavior after the fact didn’t help her either, but she deserves to be able to make a living.
Did Ted Nugent ever apologize for expressing his desire to see Hillary and Obama hung for treason? Or how about that time during one of his shows where he held two machine guns (yes, machine guns) and said he wanted Obama to suck on his machine gun and wanted Hillary to “ride” the other machine gun.
Why isn’t he in prison? What Kathy did doesn’t even begin to approach that level of depravity and sickness.
Oh, I forgot to add… Ted’s “punishment” was an invitation to the Whitehouse by our current president.
Classy! Ugh.
Jim, I had never heard that before but it sounds like Ted Nugent.
Classy yes for this administration.
Well said sherry
Her piece was spot on. Thanks for the link. Always a fan and always will be. Her “crime” was victimless, essentially. You’re right. She’s held to a far different standard than men accused of harassment and rape. It’s mind boggling, but at least we are all talking about it now.
I never liked her to begin with, so that picture didn’t change much for me. I also wasn’t shocked as most of the country seemed to be. She has just been one of those people I see on TV and just can’t watch, not sure why. I will check out her article, though, because I’m about women supporting women.
I have a concern though about the spinning thing and her sort demeaning (not sure if this is the word I’m really looking for) fashion. A lot of women really love fashion! Make careers out of it, write books about it, college courses, etc. Also, some women do really enjoy getting glammed up for the red carpet and spinning around and being noticed. I have too much anxiety for such things so I wouldn’t go near the camera, but whatever. Should we be asking more important questions on the red carpet? Maybe, but I don’t like any opinion of how women should behave and what they talk about being blanketed over all of us. If I had the chance to escape the stress of everyday life and have someone dress me and get a night out, the last thing I would want to talk about would be politics and social issues. Others may love to on their night off and that is perfectly fine too.
I feel like I got carried away, but trying to make the point if some of these celebrities really love and enjoy the fashion world, then talking about it isn’t reducing them. We should take each woman as an individual.
Sorry for the unusually long post TT, long day and a glass of wine in. Off to read her article now…
Love wine filled posts! Which reminds me I am out of wine! UGH. I hate when that happens.
If you had read the article before commenting, you would realize that the point isn’t about makeup and fashion. Perhaps I mislead you there in my post somehow.
Yeah, I wish I would have read it before commenting. She did have some good things to say! It was actually a softer side to her than I was expecting.
I was about to tell you to run to Kroger for the $2.97 wine, then it made me think about that you’re in ATL and it led me to remember murder kroger when I lived there as well lol bless
They tore down Murder Kroger. There where people out there with candles in some sort of vigil when it happened, marking the end of a… well making the end of murder Kroger. LOL.
Since when does Kroger have three dollar wine. I’m dashing to Publix right now.
Haha aw man rip murder Kroger. I wouldn’t light a candle, but the whole thing was funny and just a thing for atl folks.
They do! It’s called Bay Bridge! Walmart has a similar one that starts with an L, then of course two buck chuck at Trader Joe’s. Good luck on your wine adventures! Enjoy!
Just a comment on the Art of It All. Sherry’s comment about “it was an art piece” are spot on.
Whether or not someone put her up to doing it, I wish the photographer would have warned her of potential backlash.
Political art is dangerous: to make and to criticize. And getting even more so.
Things live forever on the Web. There are people who don’t WANT anyone to forget what KG did.
Personally I would have done an apology. But I understand why she did not.
She won’t be forgiven.
She has been working with that stupid photographer for years without this happening. He just keeps moving the line a bit further. HE DIDN’T SUFFER ANY DAMAGES AT ALL for HIS ART PIECE.
EXACTLY it was BULLSHIT
Good point! What consequences did HE suffer from the photo? I remember a few threats from magazines that they would not hire him for editorial work anymore but I wonder if that really panned out.
Could not agree with you more, Tamra! I have no patience for the torches and pitchforks and shaking of sanctimonious little fists. I will be tuning in too.
Me too! Knew about MAHER but not about Kimmel & Time.
Thanks, TT!
Yay, Tamara!! I’ll watch anything Kathy is on. The way she was treated for the (without a doubt, stupid) photo was unbelievable to me. No, it wasn’t well thought out, and no, the timing of something like that, given terrorist actions, could never have been OK, but this is America and we’re supposed to have the protection of the First Amendment. Once you exercise that right, you will reap possible consequences from those who disagree, but the consequences for her were brutal. She’s a funny lady, with a lot to say, and I hope she makes a resounding comeback.
My thoughts are that anyone is capable of making a really tasteless joke and it should be forgivable. However, Kathy never really owned it.
She blamed Trump and then went full tilt Boogie victim mode. And she recently posted a whining diatribe on YT over the unfairness of it all.
If she just owned her stuff, lots of folks would forgive her. Otherwise she’s just a greedy, insincere little famewhore in my book.
(Long time lurker, first time poster)
OMG Auntjulie, all I am hearing in my head is Lisa Rinna saying, “Own it!” LOL
Nail on the head, Aunt Julie.
I don’t agree that she never owned it. She released a video the same day the photo was release, apologizing, and did a bit of groveling before going quiet. AFTER that she began to aggressively fight back, because really — enough is enough.
That’s how I recall it going down as well.
About a year ago I heard an interview on one of the Sirius XM stations, they were discussing Kathy’s “situation.” I cannot remember the specific details but there was a very powerful man who e-mailed her and offered to help her. They did not disclose his name, but he was either the head of one of the networks or something along those lines. He told her to apologize and crafted some script for her read and said if she did not do it, read it exactly as it was written, she would never work again. I wish at the time I had paid more attention to at least remember the name of the person.
I think there is a lot more at play here than just an inappropriate picture. Women always pay a higher price for these actions than men do. Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks, over a single comment. I remember people saying “poor Baron” had to see that pic of his daddy. Agree to a point. I wonder if any of “them” spoke up for Sasha and Malia during the 8 years of the last Administration. It’s fine to disagree with policy but to excoriate kids for their parents sins is inexcusable. Kathy posted a pic that did not involve Baron, but everyone is offended on “his behalf?”
Kathy has paid enough.
Like what Martha Stewart went through – even the least feminist guy I know, but one who follows financial stuff, said that was absolute sheer bullshit and that guys who had “mishandled” MUCH larger investments of OTHER PEOPLE’S money never served jail time – that she should have been given a fine and everyone moved the fuck on. I almost did a spit take when he said it was only because she had a vagina and had built an empire all on her own that everyone else was jealous of that made them send her to jail.
But Kathy needed to take a page from Martha and just OWNED the “punishment” – then come out having learned out to knit.
I love Kathy and was a bit shocked when she initially posted the photo. The punishment did not fit the crime whatsoever. She was treated like a terrorist. She, along with her her dying sister, other siblings and 96 year old Mother received death threats! She was blacklisted, put on watch lists that I doubt true criminals are actually on. She was detained in EVERY country she went to during her recent “Laugh Your Head Off “ tour. She pushed on. She pushed through. She showed us her vulnerability. She named names because she felt she had nothing to lose and no one to stop their support of her because everyone already had. Kathy Griffin made a difference for the better, albeit with an auspicious start, but she will continue to break barriers and will be back bigger and better than ever! I completely support Kathy and her true patriotism. Kathy was entertaining the troops, going to war zones and visiting Walter Reed out of her love for this country and not for accolades, but people seemed to forget all of that. I think this is going to be her year!
I used to like Kathy Griffin when she had her stand up comedy with “alledgely” comments about celebrities which I thought were probably pretty spot on. I liked her TV show too. Then she started just becoming more crude and aggressive with her act. seemed really attention seeking and desperate to me. Teaming with that loser photographer who was such an idiot on that Dina Eastwood show couldn’t have been more stupid. Stupid when he trashed that Birkin Bag. Anyway, I don’t condone her behavior with that beheading thing. There are a lot of impressionable people out there who do copy cat things and get these ideas. He is our president regardless of what you all think. I do believe we need to tread softly about what we say and do. There are a lot of sickos out there.
Agreed, and I had always found her funny and watched all of her shows, paid money to see her stand-ups, even though I disagreed “politically” on much of what she said.
But this was The President – a SITTING President.
I opposed much of what Obama stood for but would have felt the same had it been his head.
Imagine that – would anyone EVER forgive her if she was shown faux lynching Obama? Nope. Never, and for good reason. (well, except the racist assholes, but they’re morons anyway!)
And P.S. These actors are all about pretending to be someone else, creating an image, and they live in a different world than the rest of us. We shouldn’t be expecting them to be spewing out intellectual thoughts. Ask them about their work, fine, but not about social or political issues of which most know zilch.
Clearly attitudes to our incumbent leaders are very different. We do not treat our PM with such reverence . In a democracy ( and here we fought 1700 years for it ) freedom of expression , whether through art or otherwise , is not considered an offence punishable by alienation. When Margaret Thatcher was in office there were many demonstrations of similar ilk . When she died there were street parties and funeral pyres with effigies of her burning , through the Country . Without rigorous protest how can any changes to society be made ? Trump is a nut job , he deserves vilifying . Yes her picture was shocking , but that was the whole POINT of it. In the U.K this kind of thing is seen in political periodicals all the time. It demonstrates a healthy disregard and cynicism of the political classes and their imperialistic agendas. Kathy was calling out Trump and his ilk for the existence of these terrorists.. But for the USA, your Neanderthal Bush and our equally Neanderthal Blair these terrorists wouldn’t exist .. so f… the hypocrisy of the right wing media for villyfying her .. we need MORE of these protests not less !
Thanks for the perspective of another culture.
Not a fan wont be tuning in. She deserves everything she got.
I agree. She never showed any remorse. Just a pity party. I find her to be a nasty woman and to use “Art” as an excuse is laughable.
I’m a veteran. When she was touring the U.S., she gave tickets to every show to veterans via VetTix which included a personal meet-n-greet backstage including a photo. She’s a class act and is a celebrity who walks the walk.
Jerrilynn, thank you for your service!
I’ve never been much of a fan of Kathy Griffin, but I don’t think she should lose her career over this.
Absolution Kathy, go make people laugh again.
Is the misogynist me? Because I really like seeing pretty women twirl around in pretty gowns. It makes me happy.
However I would also ask them about their achievements. Plot twist: I would ask them about their acheivements FIRST. But also, pretty gowns are made by clever talented artists and are pretty.
Saying that, the backlash against Our Kath has really confused me… I love her, I love her humour, I may not be too into the My Gays Love Me thing but on the whole, she’s a hoot. Never understood how the liberal artistes shunned her so much if they’re so anti trump. What’s the problem? It’s not like she killed him…
Maybe because them liberals realize our troops and independent journalists were beheaded.
Kathy has blamed everyone from Sharon Stone to Anderson Cooper for her planned publicity stunt.
That is also not true. She didn’t blame anyone for her stunt.
No she didn’t. And she was a HUGE supporter of the military, USO and veterans.
When Kathy first started out with her “Life on the D List”, and her mom as her side-kick and her HBO specials, I really enjoyed Kathy and was a total fan. But somewhere along the line, she seems to have developed a sour streak, that she evidenced on “Fashion Police”, where the great Joan Rivers was sarcastic, but bubbly and funny and also with a truly great sense of style – but Kathy made it feel like a trip to a scary dentist. And her acerbic attitude just got worse and worse- till most of the comedy was squeezed out of everything and it did become kind of like a horror show – ending with her holding up a severed head. It will be interesting to see if Kathy can be resurrected without Anderson and Andy. Because it does not seem that they like her at all.
The problem I have is the victim act.
Kathy had been wanting to get Trump’ attention and then cries when he fired back.
And don’t mistake my comment to mean I support Trump because I do not.
Kathy knew Sheilds was going to sell the photo too.
Absolutely none of that is true. And Shields has yet to sell the photo to this day. He’s been offered six figures for a large print and has refused to sell the image.
Kathy Griffin was no more “trying to get Trump’s attention” than Carole Radziwill or any of the many other screaming liberals having multiple nervous breakdowns over every stupid thing Trump does. And even some not so stupid ones. We can’t put all the freaked out liberal idiots on Interpol and have them investigated by the Secret Service. That’s just meeting hysteria with more hysteria.
I don’t believe Kathy is on the Interpol list. I know Kathy says she is.. but I don’t believe her. Of course the Secret Service questioned her. A friend of mine was questioned by the Secret Service when we wen to see Bill Clinton campaigning in 1992 when she said she wanted to “kill him” meaning the guy standing next to us smoking a cigar and after asking him to move over because it stunk. Turns out, there was Ss in the crowd and thought she was talking about wanting to kill BC.
Also, if Kathy is on a WORLD TOUR that means she is working. I feel bad for the people who live pay check to paycheck and who are homeless. That is just me.
I feel bad for bloggers who get dragged in to court by scam artists Housewives.
#LIEberry #NoOccupantcyPermit
Ok I am done.
Totally love this post-she is great and maybe she’s not sorry? I agree she has paid enough. Not sure about the sister with cancer having anything to do with it, but hey everyone is different and she was just pissed off like a lot of us are/were about that idiot getting elected-I’m still not over it!! Never will be. Thanks again Tamara you do a great job
Nancyinthesmokies, I’m not over it either and never will be. Unbelieveabke people fell for the lies.
When she was just beginning to bad mouth and tell secrets of celebrities there was a luncheon honoring a few women, Kathy being one of them. Another woman went to stand with her for photos but was called down by other women who refused to be photographed with her. Kathy stood alone and handled it all with a smile.
When ever one of these distasteful or just outright outrageous attacks on the President happen, I generally
turn it around to see what the reaction would be if the person being attacked were former President Obama. Kathy G would have been drawn and quartered and probably deported should her picture been
with Obama’s head in her hand. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Yes, just like all those draw-and-quarterings and deportations that happened to those who hanged Obama in effigy, or depicted Mrs. Obama as a monkey, and much worse.
Oh wait, nothing happened to those people.
The reaction on the polical “right” to all of that was silence. Or snickering followed by silence.
Where the hell have you been, and don’t ever leave us again EricZKU!!! You did not have permission to just roam away for however long you have been gone!
Awww, you warm my cold, black heart! ?
I’ve had several major changes in my life, just one of which was moving halfway across the country.
Usually I’ve been either super busy or too tired to watch TV or hang out online much.
I’ll give you the details in an Open Forum one of these days…?
@wireless mom- That is just not true. The entire time Obama was in office he and his family, including his daughters were relentlessly attacked, called the “N” word and everything else. Michelle’s head was put on an ape’s body and passed around the internet by those two ladies on the city council. 1 month after he was out of office, there was a small article about Malia going to college, the comments were so horrible and vitriolic the web site had to take the comments down. Even Joan Rivers got in on it by calling Michelle a Tranny!
Yes, I was, I don’t know when I came across Facebook post with comments about airing out the WH when Obama’s moved out. There were a lot of photos of Michele looking like a monkey or Barack in Muslim tribal garb.
The comments were disgusting. Those American people seemed like they were trying one up each other. Even writing this my chest feels tight.
I left a comment about this is our first family, being a different political party did not deserve these comments. They blew up on my Facebook messenger.
The one thing that really upset me and this was during O’s first term, the Tea Party were just starting to form in numbers, there was some sort of vote going on at the Capital and several Congressman were arriving to cast their votes.The Tea Party were there protesting.
John Lewis, who has fought for civil rights for many years along with Dr. King was spat on and called a N….. It sickened me that in 2010 we have not made much progress. It’s fine to protest and disagree but damn!
Barney Frank was also relentlessly heckled for being gay.
The incident on the steps with John Lewis did not happen. It was investigated and debunked. The anecdote was despicable race baiting.
People will believe whatever they want to about the Tea Party members, but they did and do generally behave well at their demonstrations-quite the contrast to the violent thuggish Antifa and leftist protestors.
It’s time for you to block Breitbart from your internet browser and read real news. I also recommend that someone in your household put a child lock on Fox News so you can’t watch.
Anna, you are misled or you misunderstood. It did happen.
Caipatti, I feel like I’m living in Bizarro World. Black is white, up is down, truth is lies. Nothing we say or do will ever break this spell that 39% of our country is living under. Hopefully, someday, justice will be served.
I guess I missed a good deal of attacks on Pres Obama. Probably because I am not on that site. People give away to much information about themselves on Facebook. Evidently I missed a lot because I’m very choosy when it comes to paying attention to stuff on the internet.
“When ever one of these distasteful or just outright outrageous attacks on the President happen, I generally
turn it around to see what the reaction would be if the person being attacked were former President Obama.”
That’s a ridiculous thing to do.
But if your mind really works that way, why does in not occur to you that Obama would not have mentioned it at all. Many similar things happened to Obama and he did not provide any oxygen to the dumpster fire. Trump tweeted stupid shit about his son seeing it and thinking he had been beheaded. That never happened. Trump is the one responsible for the death threats against Kathy and her family, not the liberals. Trump.
Looking out the window for a second full moon in a week because absolutely THIS. What happened was exacerbated completely by Trump and the reaction, not Andy, not Anderson… but TRUMP. I laughed out loud when they literally pulled the “but think of the children” shit with that Barron excuse.
Kathy taking on two, very powerful men in showbiz, makes me like her more. Andy Cohen fucking sucks and she obviously knows more about Ryan Seacrest than she lets on. I’m tired of him getting a pass because half of the people think he’s gay while the other half buy his innocent glasses wearing ass.
I’m tired of people thinking Andy Fucking Cohen has any power in this world. Girl, Please.
He has power over me though.
Thanks for bringing the article to my attention no way would I have caught it on my own. I’m a fan of Kathy’s and I’ll be supporting her as she makes her way back.
Come back and make us laugh Kathy. We need it now more than ever.
Here’s the thing. Kathy’s act basically involved torching everyone in thr industry. She also was not so nice to people when she wasnt doing her act. I was involved with a project she did and she was miserable to everyone and acted like a diva–and this was way before the d list and she wasnt even close to being the star of the show. The stars of the show were total pros and gracious to everyone on the set. So when something like this happens, she had no friends–she used to brag about trashing people and not wanting to be their friends–well then you cant expect everyone to have your back.
In terms of the fashion thing–she was on the fashion police show and gladly took a paycheck so this rings hollow.
Dont get me wrong, i used to like her and her comedy but she was not a nice person so i find it odd that she expects treatment that she has never given anyone else.
I was happy to see that she’s on Kimmel this week. I do think she was treated unfairly, when the photo came out the Trump soldiers were just so happy to have something to distract from all of his ridiculousness, it fit right in with their ‘but but but’ mentality. I did think it was right that she was cut from the New Years Eve show though. When she decided to take such a strong political stance, she disqualified herself from being able to work on a news channel. I hope she’ll handle this chink in the armor well and allow more goodwill to come her way.
They replaced her with ANDY COHEN. Who has been very outspoken about being Anti-Trump. In fact the entire CNN station is Anti-Trump.
I’m so glad she is going to be doing interviews. I hope they go well. I really love Kathy. She seemed to be going off the deep end there for a bit. I hope she can come back. I agree with her views on the award shows. Do we really care what these women are wearing anymore?
A lot of people do, yes.
Anyone else notice the irritable bowels woman on those commercials looks like Kathy Griffin?!!!
She made the decision to pose for that photo and it back fired. So what if Trump tweeted that behavior is not acceptable. I would never condone behavior against anyone. Unfortunately when it hits your pocket book then comes regret.
I was and am a huge Kathy fan, while I think the photo was in poor taste she should never have been treated the way she was, She found out quickly who her true friends are (not Andy Cohen who would sell out his own mother for another run on that ladder) She will be back and badder than ever and Andy Cohen can suck it. BTW he sucked on NYE with Anderson Cooper
I, for one will tune in. Trump turned right around after that photo posted and did the same thing by posting a photo of Hillary Clinton being killed by an object. Where was the outcry? Everyday he tweets and say the most derogatory statements and excuses are made for it. Don’t let me get started on the things that were said and done to the Obamas. I hope Kathy can come back because Trump is not worth her punishment.
I’m hoping that people want to support her and show some kindness.
It won’t hurt anyone or anything, it will be nice to see her again.
So many comments!
Kathy Griffin permanently lost whatever small liking I had for her. I don’t want her back on the air ever. Can’t stand her.
TT do you trust CDAN/blind item reveals? (not to bring up another site) I had a little obsession where i read through the whole year’s worth of reveals a couple months back, there was a funky little conspiracy theory reveal about this whole photoshoot situation that essentially said it was (allegedly) a scientology set-up to take Kathy down for the things she had said about the organization (Shields is a scientologist.) (ALLEGEDLY.)
Not to be the weird conspiracy theorist, I just remember it stuck out to me because I had recently watched a couple episodes of that Leah Remini show. Wouldn’t be the craziest thing they’ve ever done, if some stories are to be believed.
Anyway.. I was never outraged to start. I felt/feel bad for the woman. It may have been in poor taste, but poor taste is essentially the core of this presidency anyway. Time to move on, she’s suffered enough.
I used to believe that site, but it has been sold several times. Also the number of blinds is suspect. Not to compare myself to them, because I have fewer sources than they do, but I think the sheer amount of info is a bit suspect. So it’s hard for me to say one way or another. I do think they have many good sources though, it’s just some of the blinds are a bit suspect. No idea either way on this one. I have no idea if Tyler is a scientologist.
Thanks for the info, Tamara. I would miss so much more if it weren’t for you! Setting my DVR now.
I can’t stand either one of these liberal douche nozzles – Kathy or Jimmy. They think they’re funny, but I don’t find anything remotely funny that they say and/or do. Jimmy is so disrespectful & divisive towards our POTUS. You can hate Trump, but you still need to respect the office of the POTUS. I hated having Obama in office for 8 long years, but he was our POTUS, so I had to respect his position & decisions. Didn’t mean I agreed with him, but I still respected him.I would never think to talk about or mock him as so many liberals have with Trump!
Kathy DID NOT appear last night and no mention of her lack of appearance was given by Jimmy. One of Kathy’s people said that she had a scheduling conflict on her end and had to cancel.
That’s the dumbest excuse ever since all she has been whining about lately is NOT HAVING ANY GIGS IN THE US. It was literally the most important gig she has had in A YEAR. Nothing was more important than this appearance.
I’m afraid she’s blown her chances.
WHY would she do that? Is it possible Jimmy got flack from someone and gave her the axe last minute?
These are just some of my questions
She tweeted today that would be on Bill Maher tonight. I think she was fucked over by Kimmel (or someone).
