Kathy Griffin called 'desperate' as she shares video showcasing disturbing artwork of Trump

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kathy Griffin is once again courting controversy for showcasing artwork apparently depicting severed heads of four billionaires, one of which is President Donald Trump.

The 64-year-old comedian just dropped a TikTok that has sparked serious backlash. In the short but shocking clip, Griffin stitched together a video showing a gory art piece featuring cloth-rendered severed heads of four of the world’s most influential billionaires, with “blood” pouring from their necks.

The “victims” included Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and the president, the Daily Mail reported.

As the camera panned slowly across the disturbing textile heads hanging eerily on a wall, Griffin made her cameo at the end, tilting her head and smirking. “That’s all," the video stated, while she captioned the post, “For the first time ever… no comment.”

Kathy Griffin faces quite a backlash for her latest stunt

Kathy Griffin’s stunt is giving serious flashbacks. Back in 2017, she posed for a photoshoot holding a fake, bloodied, decapitated head of Donald Trump.

The backlash was massive. She was swiftly fired from her long-standing New Year’s Eve co-hosting gig with CNN — a role she’d held since 2007. The scandal also put Griffin in hot water with fans, networks, and even the Secret Service.

But it seems she’s still leaning into the chaos.

Commenters were not shy about calling her out for the latest video. 

One person wrote in the comments section of her TikTok video, “Thought inciting violence was bad,” and another said, “Did you not learn from the first time?”

A person remarked, “Ah, look who’s so pathetically desperate to stay relevant," whereas someone else asked, “What is wrong with you?”

“This wack job is crazy as hell," an individual bluntly wrote. 

Kathy Griffin slammed Stephen Colbert for pressing her on infamous Donald Trump stunt 

Earlier this year, Kathy Griffin revisited her 2018 sit-down with late-night host Stephen Colbert.

In a video posted to her YouTube channel in May, the comedian opened up about the interview that, according to her, left her in tears. She said she was “ambushed” by Colbert over the infamous 2017 video of her holding a mock decapitated head of Trump.

Griffin had specifically asked that the topic not be brought up, especially since she claimed she'd been interrogated by the Secret Service over it. She even said the show’s team initially agreed to steer clear, until the host didn't.

Calling Colbert a “d**k” and the interview a “bulls**t ambush,” Griffin slammed the CBS host for what she saw as “misogyny” and accused him of “punching down on a D-list celebrity.”

Griffin says the Colbert interview took a serious toll. She said it felt more like an interrogation and even compared it to something out of '60 Minutes', saying “he kept going and kept going" with his questions.

“And then the tears came,” Griffin recalled. “I just remember thinking, ‘He would not talk down to the guys like this. He just wouldn’t.’”

Still, she kept her composure on camera. “I was still smiling and waving, and I could feel them coming down my cheeks,” the 64-year-old recalled. 

After the show, a producer apparently approached her to explain Colbert’s fixation. “He just couldn’t get over the picture. He just can’t get over it,” they allegedly said. "And I go, 'What's for him to get over? I don't understand. It wasn't a picture of his decapitated head.'"

She’s also continued to double down on her right to voice her dissent in any way she wants, citing the First Amendment.
