'I’m very aware that this situation would have not been the same for Gwyneth Paltrow or Ellen DeGeneres'
Kathy Griffin’s uncle was a bagman. Her cousin was a priest who wore blue eyeshadow. Her favorite writer when she was a girl in Chicago was columnist Mike Royko. He hung up on her twice. But she never shut up, she just kept talking, telling stories, especially to the Bowens, who lived next door. They served cookies while Griffin dished family secrets and her mother, who enjoyed an occasional highball, watched in alarm.
Kathy Griffin arrives with Randy Bick on July 8 for a show at the Largo at the Coronet, promoting her new documentary.Her new documentary, “Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story,” is the tale of a pilloried woman who fights back. It is raw, vulgar and smart.
It is quintessential Griffin, a tough, Catholic-raised redhead from Chicago with a sharp tongue and a pugilist’s glare. Middle finger raised, cuss words flying. Her comedy is abrasive; she takes down celebrities with cutting glee. She has angered many — “I’m an acquired taste” — and her critics believe the Trump photo stunt brought her what she deserved.
Publicists and managers have told her to soften a bit, play a sitcom mom. “That’s not what bought this house,” she said. Her blue eyes flashed. Her disdain for Trump glittered. She said wanted to shame him for what she called his misogyny and racism, and for disgracing the presidency. The severed head photo was in part a response to Trump’s 2015 comments that former Fox News host Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
