Kathy Griffin just released a 17 minute video called “Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story.” While in the video, she calls out Andy Cohen, TMZ founder Harvey Levin, and former people she has worked with in the industry, claiming drug use, misogyny, agism, sexism, and more.
“Both times I did the show, right before we went live, Andy Cohen privately asked me in an office if I wanted to do blow,” she alleged. “I’ve never had a drink in my life. You guys know I’m no prude but I’m kind of like a straightedge, I thought he was kidding the first time.”
The comedian/actress continued, “I was hoping he was kidding, the second time I do the show, same thing. So once again we’re alone in an office and he’s like, ‘Wanna do some coke?’ And I’m thinking, ‘He’s serious!’ Trust me, he’s going to say he’s kidding and everything, no. He was asking me to do cocaine with him, that made me very uncomfortable.”
The video comes after Cohen pretended he didn’t know the comedian. Asked about replacing Griffin on CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live,” Cohen smiled and told TMZ, “Who? I don’t know her,” which is a reference to joke to Mariah Carey’s classic “I Dint Know Her” line towards Jennifer Lopez.
“The whole time I was working there, I didn’t know how Andy Cohen wanted to be me … I didn’t know Andy Cohen was on the red carpet, trying to be funny and asking questions on BravoTV.com,” she said. “I didn’t know when they ended The D List and I desperately wanted to do a talk show, Andy Cohen would be the first television executive in the history of television to give himself a talk show — which seems to get picked up every season.”
Cohen has since responded in a tweet. Claiming that Griffin’s allegations are completely false. Levin has yet to respond.
While calling out Levin, Griffin accuses him of being complicit in quieting scandals surrounding Harvey Weinstein. While giving out Levin’s phone number, Griffin claims he is a Donald Trump supporter, that he has tried to brain wash her, claims he is trying to block her in the industry as well.
