Kathy Griffin says infamous severed Trump head photo made her lose one-third of fanbase

Comedian Kathy Griffin said she is still experiencing fallout from her May 2017 controversy over a photo of her holding a bloodied fake head made to resemble former President Trump.

She continued, telling the host, "I think I’ve gained some audiences that are maybe a little bit more political, maybe a little bit more liberal, but I used to play the South like crazy because they knew me as somebody that would make fun of Hollywood and the Kardashians and celebrities." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.

Griffin reflected on her comedy career during the episode, noting the impact the Trump incident has had on her sense of safety. She said she still has "security concerns" to this day because the "Trumpers still come after me."
