Kathy Griffin became an outcast, even in liberal Hollywood, after posing with a bloody, severed prop head resembling Donald Trump in a photo but she’s still playing the victim.
Griffin, who is currently on an international standup comedy tour, complained in a video on her YouTube channel that she doesn’t have “one single day of paid work” scheduled once she returns to the U.S. – and that she deserves to get her career back.
While acknowledging that the Trump photo “offended a lot of people,” Griffin wailed that “this wall of crap has never fallen on any woman in the history of America like it has on me.”
Griffin apologized back in May for the shocking photo, which caused even longtime friends and colleagues to turn on the controversial comic – but she later recanted her apology in August.
“I am no longer sorry. The whole outrage was B.S.,” Griffin said, in a TV interview. “The whole thing got so blown out of proportion, and I lost everybody. Like, I had Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me. I had friends, Debra Messing from ‘Will and Grace,’ tweeting against me. I mean, I lost everybody… I’ve been through the mill. My entire tour was canceled within 24 hours because every single theater got all these death threats. These Trump fans are hardcore. They are a minority, but they know how to act like they’re a majority.”
The scandal cost Griffin severely: she lost her New Year’s Eve hosting gig with CNN, and she was forced to scuttle her U.S. tour after venues lined up to cancel her shows.
But despite the self-inflicted damage to her career, it’s clear Griffin never learned the formative lesson that actions have consequences.
