- ET sat down the 57-year-old comedian to discuss the difficulty of returning to comedy after scandal. Griffin's 'Laugh Your Head Off World' tour is currently underway.
if you had to lose your friends when you are in a bad place, they were not really your friends.
I lost 90% of my "friends" too when I lost my business, home and money.
Now I'm glad they left.
same. when i lost my glamorous job. funny how people don't want to be with you when you can't do anything for them. but it's for good. the ones who stick by me as true friends are the ones who I talk to everyday!
@@endor8witch you situation is completely different. Unless you lost your glamorous career for threatening the life of a sitting president? 🤷♀️
@@Positiveenergy68 What are you even talk in about lol.
@@chloeharbin3183 What do you mean?
I can’t fathom ditching a friend for some ill planned and poorly thought out stunt that has nothing to do with me. Those 90% were never her true friends to begin with. They made it clear that when they can’t get what they want from her they left her.
She's scum.Whay she did is disgusting
The only good thing about hard times is you get to know who are your real friends. You go girl.
By 'friends' I assume she means show business acquaintances that probably didn't like her but found her acquaintance potentially beneficial until she became unpopular.
She didn't lose those friends, rather she found out whom her real friends were all along...
Yea, she never had any!
Yup^
That’s half true I have had to let go of friends that I believe were not good for me and I was a true friend and will always be a true friend but if you’re not gonna be a good source for me then I can not be there for you!
😂😂😂😂🥴🥴🥴🥴
Or her friends didn’t know what she was about. What she did , holding a bloody presidents head up , is disgusting
They were never her friends to begin with. If they were, they would still be there. True friends won’t ever leave or give up on you.
She’s a completely toxic person with no common sense, her friends were correct in scraping her off.
I would agree !!
True friends indeed leave and give up on you. It's life
It's pretty telling to see all the people who comment mentioning her looks don't have a clue how good of a standup she is.
"You deserve what's coming to you. And what's coming to you?? ME." CLASSIC!!
Joan would have definitely defended her publicly
Cornelius Charles - Joan would have joined her to hold the mask.
T Electronix doubt it.
M P - Then you don't get either her or Griffin's attitude to contraversy.
Cornelius Charles no she wouldnt
No. Joan Rivers was a Trump fan. She publicity said she thought he was smart and that he would make a good president.
I thought she was one of the celebrities that said they would move out of the United States if Trump won the presidency. Why didn't she leave?
karen wallace because she is a talker she made it all up.
Well crap! I hoped she really meant it.
TRUMP 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you make decisions in life you pay the price , whether that's good or bad. I am not being judgmental but that is life.
I am. She cut off her own head.
Well I really hope Trump is prepared to deal with all consequences from the wonderful decisions he's made "leading" our country😏
@@FearFanatic86 He hasn’t been President for 2 years you simp 😂😂😂
I have to disagree with that. There are zero consequences for anything right now. That's why everything is so bad!!
We’ve all gotten so sensitive, it’s ridiculous. At no other time would this have been a big deal. People called George W everything, threw shoes at him, never got treated like this. When people look back at this outrage era, they’re gonna be embarrassed. Also - those 90% were never your friends Kathy.
I wanna know what she thinks of the Zendaya bullshit now. I wanna know what she thinks about throwing gasoline everywhere and jumping ship with her dress on fire, together with Kelly Osborne, killing Joan River's show.
lil stonerelf people did things like this to Obama’s tho... people had dolls hanged and the word lynched on it. People would create an Obama’s doll and burn it. This did happen to Obama.
Andy M. Thank you for pointing that out...saw it myself online AND in my interactions with crazed haters I would run across...so cry me a river about the stupid mask pic...the only difference now is we have a thin skinned manbaby at the helm, who needs constant coddling and feels entitled to exist in a judgement free dictator zone...sorry crybaby Trump, what makes America truly great is our ability to dissent without fear of government reprisal.
Sorry, but he's not a racist.
They didn't wish the President was dead, great comparison-Not. Throwing shoes isn't a First Degree Murder Insinuation
"He broke me". Who? You made the severed head of your own accord, stop playing the victim.
In what way did the reaction to her violate the first amendment?? I swear no one understands what that law means
Jim Carrey is far more evolved as a human than I originally anticipated
He's smarter than the average bear, for sure.
Roseanne didn't break the law either
Taylor Bear
Stfu!!!!! genius.....
she was referring to the made up Helen Bonham Carter as Ari in the 2001 movie; Separated at Birth did the same thing to Michael Jackson...where's the outcry?
@diddymuch There's no outcry because no one knows who the fuck Separated at Birth is.
Paula D have you actually seen the side by side picture comparison of the Planet of the Apes movie and Valerie Jarret? The resemblance is uncanny.
I'm sure you feel heaps better for saying that out loud, but no one's buying it. Barr is a racist pig and you're at the very least an apologist for racist pigs.
Sure, you CAN do a picture like that and the freedom of doing it is covered under the First Amendment, BUT the consequences that follow are NOT covered under an Amendment. Consequences are part of the game when doing something controversial. And then to cry crocodile tears the way she did in the media shortly thereafter was just pathetic.
Adrian Vaughn I think she was put under investigation by the FBI and they additionally were basically ordered to hound her for a long time. Careerwise, sure, you can't be protected from the consequences of your statements, but a lot of (expensive) government resources were used to essentially treat her like a criminal.
True. The consequences perhaps went a bit too far in that respect.
to crack jokes and make light in the likeness of beheading videos was just gross.
Adrian Vaughn Exactly! No one is taking anyone's freedom of speech away just know that consequences are attached. Like Rosanne for example.
Jasmine Houston-Burns 😭
“hate isn't healthy, it damages the hater more than the one who's hated!”
Yep. That's why no one wants her around.
Kathy Griffin deserves a second chance, besides, she stood up agaist TRUMP, i salute her and MY RESPECTS.
She lost my support when she tried to play the ‘old white men are attacking me as a woman’ Card. I also don’t like that she started recycling the same jokes ad nauseam
I never did like her and the way she treated others. Or that she claims to be god. She made that book just to hurt people and tell their secrets.
I don’t like her comedy but I like her story. Now she knows her true friends.
She wasn't funny and it was just a bit too far. But yeah she has the right to do it for sure. People obviously have the right to react too, and they didnt like it.
Sure it was a little too far. But the consequences suffered are grotesquely disproportionate when any context-sensitive person could see this wasn't meant as a serious suggestion of a course of action to be taken, but rather an expression of feeling of disapproval.
@@rakshith7002 I disagree, gravely. I hope and/or would help to make things improve for her if I could. I would give aid and comfort if I had some to give. It's high, high past time for it to end and she be dealt back into the game.
The truth is that people have a terrible sense of all the following: contextuality, reasoning, and scale (both of claimed offence, and of proper consequences therefor).
It was a gaffe, yeah, maybe point it out, then move on and let he be again and have a life again. Seriously, the amount of things we impose gravity on is immeasurably far beyond the pale and we need to really cut it the fuck back and do things more one-on-one. Less punishment for others and more learning to fortify ourselves.
@@rakshith7002 Yeah, I think that it should have been taken not as nothing but also not as greatly as it was, because to me when I saw it first off _with the context_ I thought "yeah, this is a joke. A bit off-color, maybe, but I'd seriously not think she was really going to try and do that, given the context it was done in." I clearly realized it was a political 'toon, not a statement of proposed action. That's why I said a lot of people lack a sense of contextuality. I didn't find it a _funny_ joke, though - by the way - it didn't elicit a chuckle. What I'm saying is I understood what it was _meant_ to be, at the moment when it came to my attention. On the other hand, if she had sent out a tweet directly to the President's Twitter account with that picture, and no comments, perhaps maybe a stronger reaction would have been warranted.
Having the court investigate it was reasonable, just to be sure. The court, though, vindicated the reasoning just mentioned. I think prospective future employers/others should, from now on, honor that court's findings.
Yes, it's a gaffe. Yes, I stand 100% by that statement. Perhaps a bit more than most, but that it should have such _enduring_ consequences for her _entire life_ is something I would 100%, thoroughly, reject. Far too much has such enduring consequences than should. Much more should be absolutely temporary, and I am absloutely going to stand by that opinion, everywhere, no matter who refuses to respect it. They can disrespect whatever they want, and I won't care, it's just an opinion. It's called holding a TRULY unpopular and politically incorrect opinion. Deal with it.
And an ordinary person should have gotten, obviously, far far _less_ . Probably an "uggh" from whomever they showed the picture to with suitably adequate context markers for their situation, since that'd be the extent of their "ordinary" reach.
@@rakshith7002 I didn't know she didn't expect anyone to see it. Moreover, you're missing the point. The point is that they called an investigation, it was investigated, and the result of that investigation was to not bring charges. Had this been ACTUALLY a threat, charges would be brought because it's a crime to threaten the President (for real). I'm simply taking, to the logical extreme, the sentiment I saw voiced in many posts given in the heat of the controversy which was to the effect of "let's see how she fares in real court, instead of the 'court of public opinion'". And I'm saying that, now that "real court" has finished its work, that it is time for the "court of public opinion" to get in line and _un-ruin_ her _life_ , because this does NOT deserve a LIFETIME consequence of this severity. I believe in keeping consequences for wrongdoing strictly time-limited and/or otherwise negotiable or forgiveable/rescindable - _not_ absent - except in the most grievous of cases, for the simple fact that humans are human and the level of things we've attached such horrifying consequence to is far beyond the pale - another example is Justine Sacco, and there's a TEDTalk on TH-cam about this type of thing, how much and how severe "mob justice" has come thanks to the internet. And I hate to say it, but you're being a little mob here.
I only wish I could be in charge of hiring her again at Hollywood and help her put this all behind as it rightfully should be, by a _logically extreme_ interpretation of the principle just cited. After all, if we're going to talk about how we should have only _investigated_ Kavanaugh, say, and not found him guilty, on the spot, of a crime, if we want to both (as I believe we should) accept that we should hear out women sincerely (imo the real or best meaning of "Believe Women," and I know people - women, too - who both use that slogan _and_ agree with my interpretation thereof) _and_ not just proclaim "guilty before conviction" of those _accused_ of sexual assaults to support principled justice that also takes account of the fact false or unsubstantiable claims _do_ occur (whether it's 80% or 8% doesn't matter to the _principle_ ), then I believe in consistently applying that same system here as well.
On the other hand, I believe this is degenerating and will simply degenerate into a "yes!" "no!" "yes!" "no!" round-about, assertion-making piss match, and I don't think that's going to be very useful here. And that's because we draw our rules from two fundamentally different books of _axioms_ , and axioms, by definition, are not things that are amenable to proof or disproof.
I think it was in bad taste but i don't think she should've been like completely ostracized for it. If she did that with Obama I would say the same thing. Comedians push boundaries. I do wish she'd kinda drop all the Trump stuff though, it's just not funny imo.
She's only 57?? She looks horrible for her age. And that haircut isn't helping.
The word is Ugly
Poor Kathy is still acting like a victim and trying to get sympathy when she was the one who did something extremely insensitive.
Whatever! She is not funny! Never was...never will be...
I don't like this lady at all.
I don’t get it - those same friends were prob anti-Trump.
I love her she plays the victim. Smh. She's the joke....
The irony that all three, Kathy Katt and Jim, are often seen as nuts. Are they nuts or are they the only brave ones left.
what trump does not realized that this incident has made her TOUGH and ready to fight back against all of the attacks his supporters have lodged against her. It was a bad joke ---- and she has apologized and suffered for it. NOW, she is coming back stronger and ready to fight. CONTINUE TO FIGHT KATHY!
I am surprised she has any friends. She is so hateful. And so irrelevant.
I've never seen Kathy live, but would go to see her now, just to support her. Girl's got some balls.
She’s trans? Makes sense. Looks like a dude
Like isis? Severing heads of their imaginary enemies?
Balls for holding up a sitting presidents replica bloody head? Radical left incoming
@@grose93alexander67She’s insufferable and did it to herself, I have no remorse for narcissists like this vile POS
yup born with balls, ITS A MAN !!!!!
I like her even more after the infamous picture.
because you're a liberal.
+Alexandra Shaw - Yeah, I think so too. Also, I can't stand cadet bone spurs.
Melissa, it's ok, I can't stand liberals. We all dislike something. We are FREE to hate and like what we want.
I also can't stand people that refer to others solely as "liberals" and "conservatives" its lame and simple minded. But it's okay.
You're sick!!!
That woman could spend a million dollar on plastic surgery and would still be one of the most unattractive people. She should have spent her money on counseling on how to be a better person.
The other 10% are Peter Fonda, Tom Arnold and Stormy Daniels !
Damn she looks like she has aged a bunch in the last few years.
No adrenochrome...supply cut
"Why did you join that club!?" LMAO so funny
Kind of surprised Cher didn't call! Smh!
Shows me how ridiculous so many people are that they could not see from context that this was not meant as a serious threat. To me it was instantaneously clear. The amount of consequences we pile on to such minor things is odious beyond comprehension.
She’s just a vulgar nasty person. Period. And you are probably the same type
She shot herself in her own foot.. Sick of her victim crap.
She deserves it. Trump 2024
Its so shocking to me that so many "friends" would turn their back on her. In that most intense powerful fearless moment she needed support. Ill always respect her for how daring she was. A prodigy of Joan and a just strong independent woman. In a country where Trump supporters run rampant she did that.
Kathy is doing badly, she is cutting and fixing her own hair now...
sixpackbinky "Fixing" is THAT what it's called?
sixpackbinky this made laugh out loud 🤣
She shaved her head in solidarity with her sister who died of cancer.
LMFAO TOO FUNNY
That's a wig lmao. Shes bald rn
She really took 1 for the team.
She's been taking one for the team for awhile. Griffin is simply another paid dupe of the Progressive Fascist dominated entertainment Industry. They're aim is very clear and that is to destroy this country from the inside then take it over outright. Trust me on this!
greg j ask your doctor for some thorzine . Idiots ruin everything.
Sir Winston O Boogie Lennon 💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼
Sir Winston O Boogie Lennon Maybe if you knew how to spell Thorazine . . . Yes, you are correct! Idiots *do* ruin everything, including their own lame ass jokes! Kisses!
Yeah, a team of morons. Hahahahaha
I hate when people don’t learn lessons and continue to deny what is obvious to all....
She found out that when you've been knocked flat on your back, there's nowhere to look but up.
So that would be what, two friends?
Joshua Ekstedt no....3!!! You were close tho hahahahahahahahah
She's crying over a mess she created.
They weren't friends, real friends stick with you through thick and thin.
Considering what Trump has done to this country, I cannot believe the hate foe this woman. I'm glad she's ok.
What I can say? You shouldn't expect too much from your wide -ranged friends. We all know that every person only has few friends among all the friend that he/ she can count on. It is not a secret for a normal person and is definitely not a secret in showbiz.
Thank you for naming Jim. I've noticed he has been on a downward spiral mentally so it really doesn't surprise me. Now I know for certain I can stop supporting him as well.
She stinks of desperation.
So True Oh I thought t was just me who thought that.. Miss Gay friendly now but check videos of how she harassed poor clay Atkin back in the day, When you have slated everyone with a surname then of course you have no friends.....Had it coming a long time ago and I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier. This up up up faze will last a minute then lets see how it all folds out.
Shellby Shell She sold out coats to coast . Gays don't get away with shit in our community simply because your gay. The gay community has to much to lose .
A person of middle eastern descent could not do what she did and be smiling and talking to ET, they would be talking to their cell mate.
I swore this lady is crazy.
Carol Schultz she is!
I think youre batshit crazy! And smelly!
People are making such a big deal out of it !!!!!
I find the picture really funny
So... She's crazy? Then trump must be full out pshychotic...
Carol Schultz crazy & has a face only a mother could love 😆👹
Most over blown story ever. I felt really sorry for her. I'm glad she's making a comeback.
It's the same with all Trump voters. I put up on Facebook that i was voting for Trump, and the backlash was unbelievable. I lost %90 percent of my friends too. People STILL get mad at me over that. It's not me that the problem, its them.
She said she Sorry but did she ever actually say sorry to Trump?
I was never a fan of hers, but to say that she lost 90% of her friends over this is wrong. She lost no friends. Friends may disagree with you, or even strongly disagree with you but unless one does something completely heinous real friends stick by each other. The ones that dump you over a misjudgement were never your friends. And one is better off without them.
She's never been funny.
I also lost 90 per cent of my friends I understand her
You sound like you need a drink. I got SHINE waiting for you in TALL TREES.!! 😉
TRUMP 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ *_Nope._*
Wrong she found out which ten percent of the people she knew were her friends
Who cares about her?
Symbolic Living
Who cares about you?
J Blank lots of people. If you like her and are defending her, that speaks volumes about you. Good luck with that.
I was actually totally bored with her routine and had stopped caring. It had gotten tiresome and dated. And now it seems like she's been through something and come out stronger and funnier. I'm interested in what she has to say.
Symbolic Living
NO BODY, 💩NO BODY 💩NO BODY 💩 NO BODY💩👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
honey there is a fuckton of people who cares about her, grow up and stop playing kindergaden games of whos side your on
Can I call Jim Carey?
mallory .... Whatcha guunna call him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I have lot's of idea's for you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ask Jenny McCarthy, she'll tell you.
mallory - Jim Carey is a warock and satan worshiper. Just send him a mental message ....the satans will carry it to him.
Blue Brick Wall why do you say he's a satan worshipper?
Victoria Dearrillaga do you just threaten Mallory???
mallory No, you cannot phone a friend!
This woman was never funny in my opinion. I don't recall ever being offended by her before the Trump Head disaster, I would just change the channel because she was boring. She may draw a crowd of useful idiots that want to pay to hear someone attack our President but the fact is, America is Great again and our job growth is through the roof. Black unemployment is the lowest ever recorded.
they arent exactly friends if they arent there for you in your lowest point in life
Man, idk. Trump was not my choice but if it had been Obama for example I would have been pissed. So you can’t pick and choose. Trump is the President, it was not funny. Yes you can say what you want, but don’t expect not too have backlash. Now she is kicking and screaming and taking her apology back? Ok. I don’t even dislike her, but she was wrong.
Well she obviously didn’t learn her lesson.
What lesson? 45 hasnt!
yeah she learned that ultimately and thankfully our rights will be maintaned regardless of how unpopular or gross to some people. It was a ridiculous and embarrassing drama for the country and honestly shows how insecure and dangerous the president is and how willing he is to abuse his power.
Micheles Sadness Let me guess, you're a Christian right? That Christian charity we've all come to count on.
What was the lesson? Not everyone likes or supports trump! That was her opinion and she has a right to express it! It's not like she decapitated the Pope! It's trump, a sleazy businessman who backs out of deals, doesn't pay his contractors, files bankruptcy, used tax loopholes for his benefit and oh yea he's americas reality tv star president 👎🏽. What's the big deal?
mrsjoeyfamous PREACH!
90% of her friends? You mean to tell me she still has one friend? Wow!
Her assumption that "the first amendment" covers her is correct but the other side of that same principle is , we all can choose to stop listening to her compost.
She keeps saying it was ketchup to trivialize what she did. Bruh that was movie set fake blood 🤣 you aren’t fooling anyone
katiewaves does it really matter? For real. Does. It. Matter? Lol
Savannah Darling no! Like and Subscribe
That’s such a weird piece of the video to get hung up on.
katiewaves i
and trump is committing war crimes and corruption ... so the liquid she used to imitate the blood seems a little trivial wouldn't you say
She has wrinkles on top of her wrinkles
Sad to hear she lost 2 friends.
So much hate for Kathy but still an much love for Trump. Sad. I think we can almost all agree what she did was senseless but people trying to say she was never funny are flat out liars. This woman had some of the best comedy skits you could watch. She made fun of everyone and herself. I saw her at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta some 5+ years ago and she had that entire audience laughing. I feel bad the stress of this has really started to age her. I hope she gets the comeback she deserves soon. She deserves a second chance just like others are given.
Her fifteen minutes have passed.
lmao she just sold out Radio City AND MSG. She's doing fine, hun.
thatmagicworks90 said you. She showed her true colors and she obnoxious and complacent. No one cares anymore. You probably bought all the tickets and that's okay. She's done. Lol. It's over.
Patti Mease Yup. I bought all 9000 tickets. You caught me.
So have yours...fea
thatmagicworks90 of course she did because a bunch of psychotic nut jobs wanted to show her support for being a hateful monstrosity.
I support Kathy 100%. She will go on. She will survive and continue to make people laugh for many years to come!!!! Good for your honesty, Kathy!
How’d that work out? Sucks when cancel culture cancels the side that started the stuff huh? She needs to get over herself. She wasn’t a good comedian or actor before now good luck finding in her in something
So she lost 5 friends? I hope she never works again.
That's not true, she's not the most famous comedian in the world
I am weird as I am a fan Trump and Griffin 😂 But comedy should have no apology or opinion who you offend! Free speech is what makes the USA great. Once thats lost, society is lost ✌🏼
She's not funny though...isn't that the point of being a comedian? Humor?
Alexandra Shaw humour is like beauty. The eye of the beholder you could say. ✌🏼
sean love, well then you are the guy who's looking at the 500 pound chick with missing teeth and thinking she's hot.
Alexandra Shaw comedy is by nature subjective, why are you trying to argue what another person feels…?
Alexandra Shaw Am gay but I geuss so 😐
She is frightening to look at
brock sampson lmao
Lost 9 out of her 10 friends.
And we care why??
yawn shes getting stale and boring already, every interview she repeats everything she has said before word for word
marklola12 - So you've been watching all her interviews and appearances?
You sound like quite the fan.
due to me watching a couple I get them all show up on my youtube page and I watch some others I skip through and she just repeats everything, was a fan, I used to be but she is just desperate now
There’s an option of not interested otherwise take a seat
marklola12 - Oh, I see I took from your saying "every interview" that you meant "every interview" and not just "a few that I have seen".
marklola - "Getting?!" Kathy's big mistake wasn't the Trump head doused in Ketchup. It was the way she responded from the backlash combined with adding more fuel to the fire by attacking Trump's 10 year old son and the rest of Trump's family.
Kathy should've been grateful she was not charged by the Secret Service with a crime, stfu and waited over 6 months before coming out. Then there was that awful Lisa Bloom press conference. That woman card doesn't get them out of everything now does it.
SHOWS WHO YOUR REAL FRIENDS R?
Narcissists lash out when criticized to get the focus off their behavior. They make it YOUR problem - “If you don’t like a Halloween mask and catsup get over it” - she flipped the tables. Not surprised Uncle Jim called her - washed up has-been - very sad - used to think he was brilliant and funny. Now he looks and acts deranged.
They weren’t friends. They weren’t intelligent. They were cowards.
Schindler's list is funnier than she is
she should never work again !she is nuts !
How can you lose 90 % of your friends when you only have one ?
They weren't your real friends Kathy. Your fans are your real friends. They have stick with you till today. We love you kathy.
It should be illegal to not post pictures like Kathy did. The law should force every man woman and child on earth to stand up and say the exact truth. There is no treatment too horrific for Donald Trump. He is a monster. Kathy Griffin is a patriot.
Mess with the bull and you get the horns! Trump 2020!!!
Eagle Claw, why not! I think thats a fantastic idea. He'll make Twitter great again! Great post buddy.
I think your great! And if you lost 90% of your friends, then they are not your true friends! I love you! keep on keeping on girl!
What she did was disgusting
First Amendment. That pretty much says it all. People just want to bitch. They needed a patsy and unfortunately Kathie was in the line of fire. Case closed. End of sentence.
The reality is 90 percent of her friends saw her for what she is and decided she is not worth knowing.
Looking forward to seeing you Kathy. Got tickets as soon as they went on sale. Keep on moving forward.
Your Loss
I love that Kathy shared who reached out when she was at her lowest. I already knew Jim Carey is a good egg, but this really shows how caring and supportive he is.
She laughed about upsetting an 11-year-old boy because she disagreed with his father's politics. I don't have a smidgen of sympathy for her.
