Kathy Griffin made her stand-up comedy comeback at the Best in Drag fundraiser in L.A..
Griffin said in her first stand-up routine since the Trump photoshoot controversy,
“I’m going to spill the fucking tea. I was part of an international scandal, under federal investigation for two months, my sister died, my dog died, and my mother turned on me. My mother took Sean Hannity’s side. She was a little drunk. She goes, ‘Kathleen, I was watching my Fox News and do you know not one of those guys took your side. Not once.’ I said, ‘Yes.’ I got letters from them saying they wanted to shoot me in my cunt.”
Griffin addressed her ex-pal Anderson Cooper, who called her Trump photoshoot
“disgusting and completely inappropriate.”
She has severed ties with the CNN host for his lack of support. (Cooper is now hosting NYE in Times Square with his bff, Andy Cohen.)
“This is a cup of gay tea that is fucking scandalous and it involves Anderson Cooper. For some reason this gay sent me a letter and sent a copy to Anderson. It’s so heinous and so over-the-top horrible that I admit it made me laugh out loud.”
Griffin continues,
“Dear Anderson, from one homo to another, you’re a fickle faggot. Really? Not supporting and backing Kathy Griffin after she had your back for years. Even to talk about your cock-sucking in her comedy back when you were still a closeted queen. And another thing, Anderson: Homo rule 101, you always back your fag hag.”
Griffin also addressed the controversy of sexual assault and harassment allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein.
“The Weinstein thing is just fucking unbelievable, but I’m not afraid to say anything because I don’t appear in movies ever and no one will ever put me in one. That guy seems to be what’s called a rapist. I’m using it as a broad term. There’s a lot of them, and they are everywhere. So it’s time we started to fucking look out for each other because this shit has been going on for way too long.”
Girl does not mince words…
