Comedian Kathy Griffin said Monday that she had been put on a “kill list” and had received repeated daily threats since she posed last year with the decapitated head of a President Trump effigy.
Ms. Griffin took to Twitter on Monday to tell her followers about how things “have not gotten better for me” and complain of being on black-lists for some TV shows.
“In fact, I just found out I’m on a brand new ’Kill List.’ Constant death threats and threats of violence toward me in very specific ways. None of the social media platforms I need to make a living and sell my tour tickets will step in and help at all,” she said.
The former star of “My Life on the D-List” and the Times Square New Year’s Eve party on CNN blamed her career woes on “Trump, and his game criminals, and the right-leaning alt-right media,” who she said “have not let up on me.”
She then went after her show-business colleagues, saying she heard “Ryan Seacrest is ’mad’ at me and spreading the word around” because “I hired the woman who accused him of #MeToo ’activity’ (a stylist) and I PAID her.”
Ms. Griffin also said that “Someone in the booking dept of the Stephen Colbert show has a ’bad taste’ about me” and someone on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” “has a ’problem with me.’ And they’re spreading the word around.”
