A truly good friend would caution her about treating people so badly, even in jest. It just isn't funny, only cruel. She had seen the danger in past behavior yet chose to continue acting as she does. I do hope that she gets some real friends who are not afraid to tell her the truth about such things.

@@candice4855 Thank you! I have seen too many people who hold on to bitter feelings and use it in the guise of humor to lash out at other people, because they are not properly dealing with it. In her case, being a professional comedian, it is easy to exploit her problems in this manner to profit financially and professionally until pushed too far to be hidden within the humor anymore. I just do not understand how people can be so surprised that she received backlash for her behavior, that people can be so blind to the fact that we always reap what we sow, more than we sow, and later than we sow, just as Kathy did. I do hope that she recovers in every way.

As someone whose attempted suicide, judgment from others to such an extreme could literally kill someone. cancel culture has become dangerous. It almost feels like an eye for an eye culture now. When we lack forgiveness and we discard people, there will be a dangerous ripple affect. I’m genuinely concerned about people justifying their harassment because someone said or did something that was ‘inappropriate’ Is our goal to drive people to suicide??? It’s become a disgusting society

@@hollyjay3628 No, people are frustrated that other people had their lives destroyed for a lot less. Some of it was from things being spun out of context or for words said a decade ago. Most of which probably don't have the financial gains to go to court. The whole world hates Trump, even when the picture came out. Yet people were still outraged. She needs to take accountability. Mind you, since day one I supported her right to post that picture. But she should have knew she would have lost friends, fans, and contracts. She isn't a Punk Rock star. She should have realized her demographic and how her demographic is the folk that get offended the most.

I attempted suicide in my past, but I promised myself that if I lived though it, I would do my best to make a positive contribution by making them laugh / trying to make people happy - life, friends, strangers... - at my expense, not at the expense of others. That doesn't appear to be what she's done. Folks aren't telling her to "jump," but if she decides to, that's her choice.

What a lovely, kind and thoughtful sentiment. I’m so, so sorry about your friend. I agree, it’s a blow to the gut to hear that someone you know has chosen their fate in such a way. Those personal thoughts and feelings can be well-hidden, a singular secret kept only to themselves for fear of judgment or simply shame. I dated someone in college who killed himself, and, yes, even these many years later it’s hard to believe he’s gone. I still don’t understand why he did it. Kathleen has made me truly laugh with her unique take on celebrity. I, too, am so happy to see her looking well and beautiful. We love you Kathy!

His pain rolled downhill like a snowball that keeps growing and growing and getting faster and then hit me and the rest of my family. It never ever goes away. 9 years later and I just cried yesterday again. One of the ways I made it was watching the D List, Kathy’s talk show, read her books, listened to her Reading her books, u name it. I wish I could have helped Kathy like she helped me.

I may not agree with all of her political beliefs but I was raised to believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion. Stifling someone’s opinion is dangerous. I’ve seen her stand up with my mom and we both adore her. Sending lots of love and support to Kathy 💖

I can’t say I’ve been a fan of Kathy’s but I do like some of her comedy to a certain extent. As a recovering addict myself, I knew she was addicted to pills when I watched her on an episode of The Wendy Williams Show a few years ago. Like they say, takes one to one. Everything about the way she carried herself on that episode was very clear to me that she was on something. For those who don’t know about addictions it might not be easy to spot but once you’ve been in those shoes, you can spot an addict from a mile away. You can tell she is no longer abusing pills, she even looks a bit younger. Hope she continues to do better.

I would love to see your brazen hussy wit applied to recovery if there’s any way around the whole “press,radio and films “ thing. Please stay healthy and please stay with us.

Bless. She's been thru such a brutal time. I'm really not surprised to hear that she suffered so deeply & was suicidal. Losing her "friends" had to have been beyond traumatic. I've always applauded her honesty and forthright nature. I'm so happy she wasn't successful in her attempt to leave this world. I'm enormously gratified to hear that her husband is so loyal and supportive. Speaking from experience, that makes a big difference. I do hope she will be happy and at peace going forward. Bless

I agree. Losing friends and family 👪 is very very traumatic. Her so called friends were actually conditional friends. It reminds me of the Jehovah's Witness organization. The GB of that religious culture, shun people when they make mistakes and your entire social network within this culture turns against you when you are shunned. A great many of people have committed suicide, in this organization. Child SEXUAL ABUSE is also a major problem that the leaders cover up. The Australian Royal Commission case #29 proves this. It took place in 2015. The whole culture of Jehovah's Witnesses are brainwashed and are in a DOOMSDAY CULT.

@RN RNOk. But remember, God said in his word the Bible that there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. So, its God's decision to determine who rinders that kind of judgment. There are a lot of people in this world that have done very serious bad things. Hitler, was very bad & definitely demonic for what he did. As well the Assyrians on how 🤔 they did people even how they killed them. They were known for their cruelty and brutality. I not saying two wrongs make a right but we don't really know these people, we just see or witness an action. We have all errored and are imperfect. And some people do things like Kathy and don't APOLOGIZE. Coumo...the new York mayor apologized for his wayward disrespectful actions towards women and came to the conclusion to resign. Now whether it was a dishonest apology or not, we have to remember that we can not read hearts. Only God can. But one thing I can say about him is that all these other high profile, high position idiots that defile women and disregard, and disrespect them have not even given an apology to the victims. A struggling person is not a bad person. Jesus talked so much about forgiving one another and sometimes we can't even forgive ourselves. I truly appreciate your perspective and your voice and opinion on how 🤔 you feel, and I respect that. I just know that some folks are very slow learners and when egos get in the way, that's where they Etched, God, Out= E.G O....all we can do is pray. Even the Bible tells us to pray for our enemies.

As a recovering addict and having survived 3 attempted suicides, and hearing her story overwhelmed me emotionally. Idk how to put it in words. But I'm glad she survived and is doing better and battling her demons. If you see this Kathy, I believe in you and know you're strong enough to stay clean. I'm proud of you and see you as an inspiration and role model in my life.

And the story of some of my friends are 10 times worse than mine... I lost friends. Money. Health. Etc... it's not a competition but what I mean is she's not the only one who's having such many hard battles and we ALL are survivors of trauma and mental health issues... so... I don't feel sorry for her. I never like her kind of humour and I think she made bad choices and decisions in her life but come on... to say that your addiction begin to be worse because of the Trump administration...!?! Come on now! Take responsability for what you do and say in life and face de consequences...

Interesting how the media created unnecessary hate for this human being - when you hear how bad a person is over and over again you tend to believe it and ride that same train

OMG, I am writing about my abuse. It's so true. When you need help, support, and all you get was "Couldn't you have risen above?" from your own father? Well, I feel her every word. My parents preferred I stay silent and live with the lie my entire life, and never have gotten help. I love you Kathy ... always have.

I miss Kathy’s comedy and think the backlash she got from her political jokes was very unfair. Glad she’s dealing with her addictions, but would love to see her comedy again.

Kathy Griffin is a fucking icon. She was a trailblazer in reality tv and one of the most skilled stand up comedian and NATURALLY funny people. No one is as prolific.
