OAK PARK, ILLINOIS: Kathy Griffin has recently made a comeback after facing cancellation on social media and widespread scrutiny of her integrity.

In a recent episode of the podcast 'All About TRH', Kathy Griffin made startling allegations against Bravo producers, claiming they push housewives to engage in conflict in every episode under the threat of termination.

Griffin asserted that many of these housewives have suffered personal consequences such as DUIs or jail time as a result of this pressure. Additionally, she sheds light on the extreme measures some housewives take to maintain a thin appearance for the show, including restrictive eating habits.

Since the podcast aired, numerous social media users have voiced their support for Griffin's claims. One user echoed Griffin's sentiment writing, "I agree! Idk about making them do things, but I think there are suggestions and encouraged things" while another chimed in saying, "I believe the part about starting a fight every episode".

A third user wrote, "I believe her!" while another acknowledged commenting, "I can't stand her, but I believe her. She gains nothing by speaking out. If anything, it burns more bridges in Hollywood for Kathy."

Another user noted, "She’s not wrong" and anothr chimed in commenting, 'It has to be exposed! Well, put Kathy".

Kathy Griffin is back with a new stand-up tour called ‘My Life on the PTSD List’

Kathy Griffin is bravely channeling her experiences into her latest act titled "My Life on the PTSD List," a clever nod to her Emmy-winning Bravo reality show. 

In a recent interview with Phoenix New Times, the 63-year-old comedian discussed her upcoming 40-city tour, commencing in New Jersey on March 21 and concluding in Hawaii in mid-October. Griffin acknowledges the challenges she's faced but refuses to internalize her struggles, opting instead to share them on stage.

Reflecting on her journey, Griffin humorously addresses her complex PTSD diagnosis, acknowledging her surprise at being diagnosed with a condition typically associated with combat veterans. She candidly recounts her own experiences, including the fallout from the Trump controversy that landed her on the no-fly list, likening her treatment to that of a terrorist.

Why was Kathy Griffin blacklisted by Bravo?

In 2017, Kathy Griffin sent shockwaves through social media with a controversial photo depicting President Trump's decapitated head in effigy.

The image swiftly went viral, sparking widespread condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum and igniting a media frenzy. Griffin, known for her resilience, found herself thrust into a whirlwind of backlash, forcing her to deliver a visibly shaken and apologetic press conference.

The repercussions were swift and severe: venues canceled her tour dates, television networks like Bravo banned her from their broadcasts, and even some industry friends like Andy Cohen distanced themselves. Griffin found herself ostracized like never before, facing investigations by two agencies within the Department of Justice, including the Secret Service, over allegations of conspiracy to assassinate the president. The ordeal, which led to interrogations under oath, effectively sidelined her career for six long years.

During this tumultuous period, Griffin battled addiction to prescription medication and experienced a harrowing suicide attempt, landing her on a three-day involuntary mental health watch. Despite facing setbacks akin to a pop culture saga, Griffin's tenacity remains undeterred. One might ponder what drives her forward amidst such adversity.
