Kathy Griffin condemned Stephen Colbert for ambushing her during a 2018 interview on his show, specifically regarding her infamous photo with a faux decapitated head of Donald Trump. In a recent YouTube video, Griffin recounted her distress as Colbert disregarded a prior agreement not to discuss the photo, which had led to severe backlash and professional consequences for her. She expressed feelings of betrayal, highlighting Colbert's persistent questioning as a biased attack against her. Griffin's emotional response underscored the impact this incident had on her career and mental well-being.
Griffin described the mask resembling Trump's face as a Halloween mask with ketchup and said at the time that she had been without work since the blowback.
Griffin revealed in her video that she was informed shortly before the interview that Colbert was going to bring up the Trump photo despite her one request being that the subject get skipped altogether.
Griffin accused Colbert of punching down against a D-lister, saying at one point, 'What a dick.' Anything but this, Griffin recalled thinking as she fought back tears.
She described the interview as a 'bullshit ambush' and highlighted how Colbert's relentless questions revealed a bias against her and her right to take that photo.
