Kathy Griffin: A Hell Of A Story

[DesertRat]

In this video released today, Kathy Griffin slams Andy Cohen and also TMZ's Harvey Levin, who she says speaks to Trump multiple times a week.

1. She made one hell of a bad mistake, paid the price and I do think the continued

attacks on her are beyond the pale. That said, I don't see this kind of thing helping. She needs to hire a PR firm and take their advice.

And yeah, it infuriates me to see her being abused in a way by powerful men, well beyond what a similar act would result in for a man. She's getting screwed and by those kissing up to Trump infuriates me even more.

I wish I knew what she could do to counter them, but truly I don't.

9. That's good advice.

2. KG paid the price for her mistake.

It is over now and everybody needs to move on. FFS, Dotard is far more cruel on a daily basis to far more people and that shit is allowed. That aside, after watching this video it seems that Kathy Griffin has had lots of run ins over the years with about everybody she's worked with and or for. Maybe that is normal or maybe that is just a run of bad luck but I have to say that she sounds like a victim here...lots of blaming. It is possible that she has worked with a steady stream of assholes her whole career. At some point, however, personal responsibility and self examination about where you find yourself in life is important if one wants to move forward in a healthy way. KG should not be on the no fly list or be detained at airports. That's just over the top and wrong and if that is the sole purpose of this video then so be it.

10. it's an industry where people(especially women) are easily taken advantage of in many ways

and Griffin is the type that tells all so she isn't going to get many friends in the industry since she wont protect their bs.

i believe everything she says. and i'm glad she is doing well on her own .

3. I find the TMZ/Trump connection very interesting.

Harvey Levin and trump talk at least twice a week? TMZ has private servers in a safe with 'dirt on everybody'? The US federal government has Kathy Griffin on Interpol list? That she is detained at every airport she goes to? Everyone saying that this is over and we need to move on has either not watched the video or are trying to make this all disappear. In her own words, "If I disappear after visiting Singapore, I just wanted you to know why".

5. Yeah, me too.

I'm glad she shared it.

4. Behind the scenes

You really get screed over. Listening to all of that ticks me right off. These people who are supposed to be doing their jobs are instead stabbing her in the back.

6. I say YOU GO GIRL !! It's time somebody come out and expose all of these assholes.

This is going to be big. Especially the little detail about Cohen offering her coke. Also that Levin is a buddy of Trump. They're all trash and making huge amounts of money turning America into trash. I stand behind Kathy .. she's a very funny lady and also a straight shooter. The right wing couldn't handle The ''head'' incident so they told the higher ups to go after her.

7. She's dealt with a lot of harassment

I'm glad she's standing up and fighting back.
