Kathy Griffin Says Anderson Cooper Will Never Apologize
When Kathy Griffin sent shock waves around the world after the Donald Trump severed-head photo shoot, Anderson Cooper tweeted out that he thought it was wrong and pretty much stepped away from the comedian, who he wants called a close friend.
“That one just hurt, I don’t even have a joke, when he turned on me, I didn’t even hear from him for two months,” Kathy said in an interview on The Wendy Williams Show, which aired today. “I thought, ‘Well, I guess I’m off the list.’”
Kathy was also pulled from CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast and was replaced by Andy Cohen. “Kathy totally misjudged this. She truly believed that Anderson would stick up for her,” a source told Page Six in June. “She considered him a friend. While she has nobody to blame but herself, she feels somehow betrayed.”
“He’s not that kind of guy,” she told Wendy about the possibility of Anderson apologizing. “He and Jeff Zucker, who runs CNN, they’re not cut from that cloth.”
However, “Amy Schumer sent the cutest, funniest video ever, really supportive. Bette Midler wrote the most lovely letter. Martin Sheen, from the ‘West Wing’ called and he said, ‘Kathy, one heart with passion is a consensus,’” she shared. “Pauley Perrette from ‘CSI,’ she would call me every day and check in.”
