Oh, where to start. Let me first say this isn’t a debate. I am not discussing anything Trump, aka politics. That’s not what this is about. This is about the Hollywood elite doing something completely inappropriate then clearly not taking sincere ownership of the behavior.
Kathy Griffin
What the hell Kathy? I’m approaching this as a mother of 2 sons when I type this out. When I see your political “stunt”, I think of the following murders:
- Peter Kassig- a 26 year old reporter born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. Beheaded in 2014.
- James Foley- a free lance Journalist, the first to be beheaded. Beheaded in 2012.
- Steven Stotloff- an Israeli-American Journalist for Time magazine. Beheaded in 2014.
In “normal world”, logic kicks in and you think, ‘ maybe this is distasteful’ or ‘maybe I have gone too far‘. You then put the idea to rest and think to yourself ‘man, I could have fucked everything up. Dodged that bullet.’
But no, not you Kathy. You thought this was an amazing idea. Either you are a psychopath, void of any empathy or you’re flat out stupid. Perhaps a combo of both. This video shows your excitement and delight, making the video. Clearly giving zero fucks to children who would see this.

Then I thought you were apologetic. And I was like, ok cool, she gets that this was a little too far…you know, hate speech. I saw your video where you had zero make up on saying you made a huge mistake. 5 minutes later you are giving a press conference stating the following:
I don’t give 2 shits that you performed in war zones. That’s not how the world works. And you’re an “out there Comedian”? Yes, that’s right, you’re a Comedian, not an activist. Stick to comedy ass hole. Also, why the hate? You have more money than Jesus, you’re gonna be fine. And I will be one of many to ask you this: How is the First Family attempting to ruin your life? You brought this on yourself! Is Melania cyber bullying you? Is Barron wreaking havoc on your Instagram? I don’t think so. I would love to know how they are attempting to “ruin your life” when you did this.
And death threats, seriously? Kathy, they gonna kidnap your Botox Doctor? Oh and I just heard the boob sweat comment during your press conference. Keepin’ it classy, my friend; totally professional!
And you think this is a distraction from anything else? Again, let me remind you: you did a very life like beheading of the leader of the free world. Paying no attention that he has an 11-year-old son. I don’t care that the kid has 4 gabillion dollars. It doesn’t change his brain makeup or maturity level because at the end of the day, he’s a child. If he sees someone holding the bloody head of his father, how will that affect him? Oh that’s right, you don’t have children so you can’t relate on any level. If my children saw my severed head, they would be in a mental institution the next day.
So Kathy, we solute you as Hot Mess Memoir’s Ass Hole of The Month for June!
If you wish to read more in the ass hole series, below are the links. Enjoy!
May’s Ass Hole of The Month- Manchester Bombers
Februarys’s Ass Hole of The Month- The Person That Screwed Up The Oscars
January’s Ass Hole of The Month- Madonna
December’s Ass Hole of The Month- Amos Mazzant
I cannot argue with you. I wish Kathy would read your post. Hopefully you’ll never nominate me a-hole of the month.
You have to do something PRETTY HORRIBLE to be nominated. Last month was the Manchester Bombers, 1 month it was Amos Mazzant who stopped the minimum wage at the 11th hour. Big shock here but it’s usually celebrities and politicians. If you ever have an idea for a nomination, I am all ears!
I always have ideas for people that fit your criteria but if I feel strongly I write about them on my blog. Hopefully I never do anything horrible enough for you to nominate me
Yeah, I run into ass holes everyday. I always pick ones that are known on a national level.
I’ll get there!
I’m so confused about this whole thing. I really don’t understand any of it.
You don’t understand what she did or her press conference?
What she did – like what was the point? How was her holding up his blood covered head funny? Was that all it was? Just her holding it up and then dropping it?
She hates Donald Trump so much she is pretending she executed him, mimicking how many of our service men were executed by Isis. I theorize she thought she was making a bold statement?? Your right. What was the point? CNN fired her and she lost her spokesperson gig with Squatty Potty.
Yeah, I read another blog post on the aftermath of it (Phil’s actually who commented on this post). I’m kind of on the fence between both your arguments. I agree with him over free speech which I will always support. But I also think how she used her freedom of speech was horrible lapse in judgement.
Yep, she has the right to say whatever she wants. But she has to realize we have the right to express our disgust. Nothing positive was accomplished with her behavior.
Yeah for sure!
Good choice. This was a horribly disgraceful charade. And ‘all in the name of comedy…’ give me a break!
There wasn’t anything remotely funny about it. Naked statues of Trump in a city (can’t remember name): funny. Severed head, mimicking a brutal death: not funny.
Agreed.
Absolutely no sympathy for her. She chose to do something so incredibly insensitive and abhorrent, and had to suffer the consequences. Celebrities sometimes ruin their own careers by their actions, and she deserves whatever she gets.
Whether I loved or hated her before this is irrelevant. Whether I like or dislike Trump is irrelevant. Some things are just plain wrong and are unacceptable!
THANK YOU! This is the most well-articulated argument I’ve heard in a long time. What many fail to do is see this act for what it is. I completely agree she has all the right in the world to do what she did. But that doesnt mean you or I don’t have the right to express our disgust. I don’t write posts about anything negative at work. I could, it’s my right but I understand there may be consequences and bc of what could happen, I choose not to.
I hear people defending her simply because they hate Trump, or calling for HER head because they support Trump. I wish they’d all just take a step back and examine it for what it was. It crossed a line and that’s all that should matter.
Preach sister!
That press conference. Geesh. Almost as bad as the initial stunt.
I know. Didn’t you want to reach through the tv, slap her and say SHUT UP KATHY!
wow…I dislike Trump but that’s horrible and insensitive. And I don’t have kids, but I am pretty empathetic. I’ve wondered to myself how awful it must truly be for Barron to be in a family that so many people hate on the daily. I honestly really feel bad for him. Stupid Cunt…She’s Z Grade anyways.
Just know this post will probably be censored. When I posted it 3 years ago I was contacted by Google stating that I violated their advertising policy so my only option was to take it down. Fast forward to today and I cannot believe the amount of censorship happening on social media. In 16 years, I’ve never seen anything like it. Take today for example, a senator’s personal twitter page was removed and I still can’t figure out for why. It’s not lost on me that it happened just hours after leading a press conference regarding voter fraud. But in an effort to get both sides, I asked on Twitter what his violation was. I’m still trying to figure it out.
Yeah the video you posted of the actual so called joke was unavailable. Yeah, it’s a crazy world for sure. Only getting crazier my friend.
