Controversial anti-Donald Trump comedian looks unrecognizable on LA jog... can you guess who?

As a journalist with years of experience under my belt, I have had the opportunity to cover numerous stories and meet people from all walks of life. However, few encounters have been as captivating and thought-provoking as my interaction with comedian Kathy Griffin. Her life story is nothing short of extraordinary, filled with resilience, courage, and a relentless pursuit of freedom of speech.

From her controversial photo shoot with the bloodied Trump head to her subsequent struggles with the fallout from that incident, Griffin has faced adversity that would break most people. Yet she stands tall, unapologetic for her actions, and fiercely defending her right to free speech. Her experience serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what one believes in, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable.

What struck me most about Griffin was her ability to find humor in even the darkest of situations. In our conversation, she joked about being on the D-list and losing money due to her hefty travel expenses on her comedy tour. It was a testament to her quick wit and ability to laugh at herself, even when the world seems to be against her.

Griffin’s life story is a powerful reminder that one should never back down from their convictions, no matter how difficult the consequences may be. And in the spirit of Griffin’s humor, I’ll leave you with this joke: Why did Kathy Griffin get put on the D-list? Because she’s still on the D-list!

This comedian has been in the business for more than three decades, boasting a career that includes six comedy albums, each earning a Grammy nod.

Her career gained significant momentum when she acted alongside Brooke Shields on the NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan, from 1996 to 2000.

Not only did she star in a popular reality TV series on Bravo, but the show also brought her two Emmy Awards for the category of Outstanding Reality Program.

Lately, the spotlight on this celebrity has shifted towards her harsh critiques against U.S. President Donald Trump.

On a makeup-free day at her upscale Malibu workplace, she was spotted appearing quite different on Friday morning.

Can you guess who the comedian is?

It’s Kathy Griffin! 

In November, she addressed questions about her plans to depart the country following Donald Trump’s re-election.

The 63-year-old humorist shared a video on Instagram with the caption: “Am I departing from the U.S.?” followed by her clarification that she is not actually leaving the United States, despite enduring four years under a Trump administration.

She explained that she often replies to various comments she receives, but sometimes her team advises her against reading them. In a light-hearted manner, she added a joke: “You know, sometimes I do read the comments, and sometimes my team tells me not to!

‘I’m not leaving the country alright, I never said that I was,’ she continued. 

I’ve never been a celebrity who makes such statements as, “If Trump gets reelected, I’ll leave the country and go somewhere else to do something,” regardless of whether they are A-list or D-list.

The actress added that ‘obviously’ she didn’t want Trump to win. 

‘I tussled with him seven years ago, and I prevailed,’ she quipped.

However, I currently have someone knocking at my door, so please do not approach me or engage in discussions such as, “You ought to be terrified, Kathy,” or “It’s time for you to pack your bags.” This is what she communicated to her audience.

Seven years ago, they attempted to knock me off my game, but alas, it didn’t pan out! And let me tell you, their latest attempt won’t be any more successful. I’m resilient, and nothing is going to derail my journey as a lifestyle expert now.

Griffin’s recent posts have been swamped by internet users mocking her, saying things like “I thought you were leaving the country?” following Trump’s victory. One commenter even suggested she should depart America.

Another wrote, ‘What country are you moving to?!’ 

A third individual remarked, ‘I hope she doesn’t disclose her new location as they might seal the border and prevent her entry. It seems to me that she should have to cross the border secretly, much like she advocates for people entering our nation unlawfully.’

Griffin openly expressed her dislike for Trump, and she was one of the famous personalities who rejoiced at his conviction in the hush money trial that took place in May.

She expressed that she was shedding tears of joy following the verdict, and additionally, she expressed gratitude towards Stormy Daniels for her testimony during the trial.

As a dedicated follower, I can express that the core allegations revolve around payments made to my former attorney, Michael Cohen, who received $130,000 as repayment for a confidential settlement he arranged with a porn actor. This settlement was meant to prevent her from disclosing her account of a 2006 private encounter between us.

According to prosecutors, they claim these repayments were incorrectly recorded as ‘legal fees’, concealing the actual character of the financial activities.

The offenses Trump is accused of could lead to imprisonment for as long as four years. However, he has firmly maintained his innocence and pleaded ‘not guilty’.

2017 saw actress Griffin being barred from flying for two months due to a federal investigation by the Department of Justice, following her sharing an image deemed offensive, which depicted her holding a mock Trump decapitated head.

2019 saw her disclose that she’s encountered multiple threats and had an encounter with a man wielding a knife following her 2017 prank, which led to her being shunned in Hollywood.

At first, Griffin expressed regret over the prank, but later retracted that apology. Now, Griffin maintains the authenticity of the image and asserts that it represents freedom of expression.

‘You can be as offended by that photo all you want, that doesn’t bother me at all,’ she said.

I just want to make it clear that I haven’t broken any laws. Just as taking a picture doesn’t violate any regulations.

“I didn’t break any rules under the First Amendment at all. Similarly, if you capture an image like that, you’re not infringing upon the First Amendment either.

As a loyal follower, I’d rephrase that as: I learned that I was being scrutinized by federal officials to determine if there were grounds for considering me a potential danger.

She mentioned that she had been placed on the no-fly list, an event that has reportedly never occurred before in the history of our nation, and she was subjected to sworn questioning as well.

She stated, “The President and the Department of Justice should not make it difficult for you to find employment or obtain insurance.

She jokingly mentioned, “I’m still in the lower tier,” referring to the Bravo reality show which granted her two Emmys.

In May 2017, a controversy arose when Griffin was pictured wearing a bloodied mask in a photo session with photographer Tyler Shields.

Griffin labeled it using a humorous allusion to “bleeding from every orifice,” which was a spin on Donald Trump’s contentious remarks regarding TV host Megyn Kelly.

In September, Griffin humorously mentioned that her extensive travel costs for her comedy tour titled “My Life on the PTSD-List” were causing her financial losses.

She openly discussed with The Hollywood Reporter her choice to travel privately, confessing that it was fiscally unwise.

‘I joke that I’m losing money on this tour because of the jet,’ she quipped. 

As someone deeply devoted, I acknowledge its imperfections, yet find the rewards overwhelmingly satisfying. In this way, I cherish the precious moments spent with my beloved little ones, bypassing the hassle of airports where, unfortunately, I often encounter individuals who feel compelled to share their disapproval of me – a group that still seems drawn to the former president’s ideology.
