Kathy Griffin Feels Andy Cohen, Bravo Threw Her 'Away Like a Piece of Trash,' Says My Life On The D-List Sequel Denied

During an interview for the upcoming leg of her ongoing My Life on the PTSD-List comedy tour, the 63-year-old explains that she feels abandoned by her former friends, including Cohen and Cooper, both of whom she says distanced themselves from her after she posed for the notorious 2017 photograph that led to a Department of Justice probe over conspiracy to assassinate Trump and Griffin's name being added to the no-fly list, an Interpol criminal list, and, she says, international terrorist watchlists.


"Why doesn’t anyone ask Andy Cohen these questions? Why am I always having to put my feet to the fire? I’m always asked about Anderson and Andy. That was done to me. I don’t have an answer," she stresses when asked about why her My Life on the D-List docuseries ended in 2010, likening the dissolution of her relationship with the duo to being "thrown away like a piece of trash" after the ordeal. "Nobody goes up to Anderson and goes, 'How could you have done that to Kathy?' Nobody goes up to Andy and goes, 'Andy, how could you do that to one of the stars of your network?' Nobody asks them, ever."



While Cohen, 56, is a high-ranking personality at Bravo, Cooper, 57, wasn't involved with the network during D-List or any of Griffin's 18 stand-up specials that aired on the channel between 2004 and 2013 — the same year her late-night talk show Kathy also ended on Bravo. Cooper did, however, continue without Griffin as cohost of his annual New Year's Eve Live special on CNN, which Cohen inherited after the news organization fired Griffin following the Trump scandal.


Griffin maintains that she's received "no apologies" from her former friends. "Not one," she says. "Not from one single person. Not my friends who deserted me, not industry people, not people I’ve known for years and showed up to every one of their charity events or did stand-up for free."


While Griffin says she's happy that My Life on the D-List recently returned to stream on the NBC-owned Peacock platform, it doesn't come without a reminder of all that she went through at Bravo.


"All I can do is be honest and say it hurts. It hurts that I’m not doing specials there. It hurts that they never let me do a spinoff with my mom and dad in the early years of the D-List. It hurts that they don’t want to do a D-List 2.0," she admits.
