Kathy Griffin’s Sweet Tribute to Gloria Vanderbilt
Kathy Griffin may be feuding with Anderson Cooper, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t pay tribute to his mom Gloria Vanderbilt, who passed away this week at the age of 95.
“I lost a friend today,” the comedian wrote on Instagram. “The one and only Gloria Vanderbilt. I loved her so much. She let me call her ‘Glo Vandi’ and I would be so flattered when she would refer to me as her daughter.”
Kathy says she remained close to Gloria, even after she and CNN journalist Anderson fell out of kinship in 2017 over her controversial Donald Trump severed-head photoshoot.
Kathy told Variety in March it still hurts that Anderson publicly distanced himself from her at the time: “I was devastated. It still hurts. I mean, I really loved him. I don’t have a punchline for that one.”
At least Kathy took the high road, right?!
