Kathy Griffin enlists celeb lawyer to respond to ‘bullying from the Trump family she has endured’

Just as the controversy surrounding the image of Kathy Griffin holding what appears to be a bloody fake severed head of President Trump appeared to be dying down, comes word that the comedian has enlisted celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom to explain why she shot the image and to respond to the Trump family’s alleged bullying.

Bloom, who has represented women who have accused Bill Cosby and Bill O’Reilly of harassment, tweeted Thursday night, “Proud to announce that I represent Kathy Griffin. We will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning.”

A press release Bloom tweeted reads, “Earlier this week, Ms. Griffin released a controversial photograph of herself posing with a faux-bloody mask of Donald Trump‘s face. Ms. Griffin and Ms. Bloom will explain the true motivation behind the image, and respond to the bullying from the Trump family she has endured.”

  1. Is anyone surprised? Ambulance-chasing celebrity lawyer and, ah, a celebrity, trying to cash in on a quick settlement. They have no idea they’ve got a man-eating tiger by the tail.

    Bad move.

  2. Phase 3 of the plan.
    1. Grab free publicity
    2. Faux apology “I’m a comic, it’s what I do”
    3. Lawyer up and play victimized “artist”. Free Speech!

    Griffin and Allred. This is not going to end the way they planned.

  3. You can’t make this shit up. I wonder if the press will take her side.
    I saw her on Seinfeld once but that was years ago.
    Is she on relief or does she have a sugar daddy or mommy?

  4. Most “celebrity lawyers” aren’t all that good as real lawyers. They announce they have been retained by Famous Celebrity, hold a press conference, and then try to settle the claims for something and fade away.

    Griffin’s photograph was tasteless and offensive, but Donald Trump is a public figure, and there isn’t anything he can do about it in a court. But Griffin is also a public figure, so the tweets by Donald, Melania and Donald Jr. expressing their displeasure with Griffin’s stunt are not actionable in court either. No lawyer with even a passing familiarity with defamation law would touch a case like this – particularly on behalf of the person who started it.

    Of more concern is Bloom’s attempt to claim bullying. There is a movement in California to make “bullying” actionable in court, and these efforts are disturbing for a number of reasons. “Bullying” is a vague concept and means many different things to many different people. It is also, in my opinion, a way to circumvent the First Amendment by claiming that bullying is not protected speech. But this is a concept more and more civil rights attorneys are pushing, and it must be stopped.

  5. @Geoff. Funneeee! I live near Sturgis SD and when the rally comes around now i see more flappy arms that when they go down the road i dont know if i’m hearing harleys or that loose skin vibrating.

    It was a better rally when their boobs where firm and the men were manly.

  6. It might be only wishful thinking but- Kathy Griffin’s ISIS photo is the moment where Trump Hate finally jumped the shark. Hey Kathy, put on a leather jacket, cinch up those water skis…!

  8. I’m sorry to see comments about government goons, and mysterious tragedy befalling this harpy. This is not the Bill and Hillary. Please do not equate it as such.

  9. It is totally beyond me why anybody with a modicum of character or self respect would associate themselves with her. At her funniest she was striving to move up to D-list comic!

  10. [just gonna copy/pasta what I wrote @ the treehouse]

    Try this with any other family in the universe, Kathy, and I assure you, that they will react the exact same way that the Trump family has, if not much more strongly.

    YOU have NO case, NO ground to stand on. So be prepared, Kathy Griffin, for most of the US population (including liberals), to hate and despise you. You earned it. 💅
