Double Down Victim

June 2, 2017 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This reaction to the Kathy Griffin Press conference from a very famous comedic actress is hot off the press!

She got very excited during the Kathy Griffin press conference. She was half yelling and half laughing: “Holy f*ck! What is she thinking? Who told her to double down on stupidity? Who told her to play the victim? She needs to fire Cindi and that attorney!” She likes Kathy, but she is shocked at how Kathy is handling this (or how Kathy is being advised to handle this).

Guess this means that not all of her peers are going to stand by her during this crisis!

By the way, the actress in our story is more famous than Griffin and has worked in both TV and films.

BG Note: “Cindi” likely refers to Cindi Berger, who is Kathy Griffin’s long-time publicist.

    Melissa McCarthy – clue – The Heat, the movie she was in with Sandra Bullock. (I love that movie, and I’m not ashamed, lol.) She’s right about everything she said. Kathy’s apology was a weird lashing out at white people and men. What the heck was that about? Why did she think that would be helpful? The lawyer said it was “art,” then Kathy came out and said it was because she hates white men. Unbelievable.

    Don’t know the other comedienne us but Kathy was foolish. She is stooping to Trumps level and giving him the attention which he craves. The

    Melissa McCarthy. The press conference dug her in deeper. KG is on record as being obsessed with making money. Her comment, “he broke me. He broke me.” is an interesting Fruedian slip. Hiring Gloria Alred’s ambalance chasing atty daughter also a mistake. The fact that she said an 11 yo was “allegedly” traumatized was the last straw for me. She needs to lay low and get back to celeb comedy for a while. Also denounce her 12/2016 comment where she said she would go after Barron.

    I would suggest that Griffin re-release the photo, but in a revised version. She should super-impose her own head-so she is holding up her own head. It would suggest that she is both sorry and humbled-enough that she would have even done the stunt to herself. Plus, it would get her more publicity and take the visual focus off Trump, and back to her. And media outlets would probably end up using the “newer” photo in all follow-up reports, so the public wouldn’t continue to see the original…

    Quit the soap box hysterics Kathy – You made a choice to do this and you recognized it would have consequences – so all this false whining and “poor me” crap just does not play to the audience –
    Stupid in the dictionary should show your photo – Glad you got fired – you’ve already got the $$$ so now is a good time to retire –

    Unforuntately Kathy tapped the hate Trump virus and went way way way too far ….. not funny to glorify beheading at all….

    If I was her publicist Id say apologise profusely and take a LONG holiday. Dont play the victim like you are now- specially when you started it!!!!

    June 2, 2017 at 3:56 pm

    It’s either Chelsea Handler or Kristen Wiig or Margaret Cho
    [Optional]: I would tell her she just BLEW IT big time! You just nailed your comedy coffin shut permanently. You just lost ALL credibility. The thing that has always made you funny is how quickly and effectively you can back pedal and make it seem so effortless and brown-nosey at the same time. Here, you just broke down like a little princess, and played right in to what they wanted to see you do. We love(d) u but not so much…

  22. Incarnadine says

    June 2, 2017 at 3:29 pm

  23. BunnieBoo says

    June 2, 2017 at 3:26 pm

    Sounds like Whoopi Goldberg

    I’d advise Kathy to quit blaming Trump, own her actions and stop crying. She’s going down the same path as a Paula Deen. Maybe Madonna can offer some advice.

  24. Slenderman66 says

    June 2, 2017 at 3:13 pm

    Amy Schumer or Tina Fey or Amy Poehler or Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, there are just too many options.

  25. Baileygirl says

    June 2, 2017 at 3:13 pm

    I’ll guess Tina Fey.
    Doubling down is the WRONG way to handle this. She should keep her head down and out of sight. This is like pouring salt into a wound. It is sad because Kathy is funny on stage, but this stunt was a major backfire. Didn’t Kathy Griffin get any attention when she was a kid? As they say, negative attention is better than no attention at all, but she has gone too far, too dark and too nasty. Give it a rest, Kathy, and go home to your Mom for a bit and chill out.

    Melissa McCarthy
    She should have gone underground for a while after the apology. Everyone is forgiven eventually. She is not doing herself any favors. Her peers and hyper liberals came out against her and she is blaming Trump. If you can’t play with the big boys, stay on the porch.

    You are not being bullied by old white men! Drama queen nutter. Most American’s are pretty sensitive about showing a sitting American president murdered in ISIS fashion after JFK. The backlash should have been thought through BEFORE you did the shoot.

  31. dberlcri says

    June 2, 2017 at 2:16 pm

    The whole thing is an absolute embarrassment. She was always a big mouth who says regrettable things. The way I see it, she thought she’d score points with liberal elite by jumping on the Trash Trump bandwagon but her stunt got backlash instead of accolades. Just like in high school when some try to score points with the popular kids by helping them mock the favorite victim of the bullies but she failed miserably.

    Amy Schumer. Nice to know that Amy would pretend sincerity if caught in an ugly situation.

    Optional: Move to Europe and try to find work there for a few years until this dies down. However, it may never die down, sooooo I would also advise her to get new job skills.

  36. algarve2016 says

    June 2, 2017 at 1:59 pm

    Tina Fey? (although she is also a writer)

    I would tell her to go on vacation to some resort, or go stay somewhere and write a book. Or come play some clubs in Europe, such as Amsterdam. I would have told her to do this differently: Go out there, apologize sincerely, say that you continue to be outraged by the T-bird and that you acted out of emotion and did not think this through. And be more responsible in the future.

    Dump Lisa Bloom and stop hinting at a lawsuit. Lay low for awhile and then do a series of hand-picked interviews. Work arrangements for select well-respected celebrities to issue subtle statements of support. Write a personal apology letter to Melania — don’t reveal contents, but give enough “hints” that it was a personal apology.

    I totally agree – you make a move like that you have to own it 100%. Take the heat – push back and point out how much of a bully Trump & Co are and that it’s a symbolic artistic statement.

    She just ruined the entire thing, and yes – her career by playing the crying fool. Sigh.

      June 3, 2017 at 6:05 am

      Trump is a Bully? Really? If someone made a picture of me like that and it freaked my kid out I would do more than just give a terse response like Trump and his wife did.
      She said she was going to attack his kid back in December. Griffin also went after Sarah Palin’s kids, to the extent she went to Alaska to do it. Rosie attacked his 10 year old son as well.
      Griffin knew what she was doing and deserves what she gets.

    • High Steppa says

      June 4, 2017 at 12:18 pm

      In December, Kathy said she wanted to deliver a beat down to Trump (meaning she would go after him with her comments and act)….”and also to Barron.” Yep, she publicly said she wanted to publicly insult and humiliate an 11 year old child. What a peach she is.

      Trump is a bully??? Get real.

    People almost stopped talking about this. The timing of this press conference is bizarre. It wasn’t a strong message. It’s almost like she wants to keep this bs PR going. I like her and don’t want to believe she’s that shallow.
    I would advise her to lay low and write another book.

      Kathy Griffin needs to disappear for a long time. When she resurfaces the public will let her know if she still has a career. If not, it’s really no big loss.

  60. ghostrider44 says

    June 2, 2017 at 11:41 am

    Amy Schumer? Tina Fey?

    I agree with the comedian, this was a dumb move. Kathy was all brave when she jumped in, thinking she was funny and edgy. I even saw a video of her at the photo shoot saying she was going to have to move to Mexico when the photo was released. So she knew there would be backlash. So I do not feel sorry for her…it’s called consequences.
    One side note though, I think that * Tyler Shields should be getting just as much scrutiny since this was probably his…

      And i so strongly feel that the man who made the pic, should be more on the fore front,…
      She is losing her bread,..that is no ok..sorry but the pic is bad taste, but to loose all her jobs?? Bit to harsh… and uhm, i kinda like her stand up, sorry not sorry!!

    • Amityvillain says

      June 5, 2017 at 9:47 am

      I’m curious, would you be ok with a comedienne losing gigs if they had served up a democratic presidents’ head? If ones job is dependent on society liking them, and they do something that society disagrees with, then the fallout is job loss. We would probably lose our jobs over it. Why isn’t it OK for her to lose some gigs? Plus, she’s blaming others for what she did while attempting to throw Marilyn Manson and Gwar under the bus. Methinks society is getting tired of that broken record.

    • flower says
