In a profile for The New York Times, the comedian shared how her life and career has changed since the 2017 picture she took with a Donald Trump mask
Kathy Griffin is speaking out about the fallout from her photoshoot involving a bloodied replica of former President Donald Trump’s head.
Speaking with The New York Times, the comedian, 61, said the outrage from the 2017 incident caused her to be ousted from Hollywood and her life has changed since. The photo showed Griffin with a mask of Trump’s severed head covered in ketchup.
“I wasn’t canceled,” Griffin said. “I was erased.”
Former President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. reacted to Griffin’s viral photo as did Chelsea Clinton and Griffin’s former friend Anderson Cooper.
“I honestly never had a desire to make enemies,” Griffin shared. “But I keep making enemies.”
