Kathy Griffin Admits She Tried To CommitSuicide After Trump Backlash: ‘I Took About100 Pills’

The comedy icon opened up about her struggles with addiction and mental health amid her cancer battle during an interview with ‘The View.’

The 61-year-old comedian admitted that between lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic and feeling like so many people were angry at her for her controversial photo holding a faux severed head for former President Donald Trump, she fell deeper into addiction.

While her story was undoubtedly emotional, Kathy eased the tension on the morning talk show by sliding a few jokes about Trump in. “I had fallen under the spell of pill addiction. I was really very addicted to prescription pills. I started probably kind of abusing them maybe a few years before the Trump thing—I’m not blaming it on him,” she said, as Joy Behar humorously gave her the okay to put the blame on the ex-president.

I’d easily believe that she is crazy.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

QED.

There was nothing controversial about Kathy Griffin’s meme. It was purely evil. Has she apologized yet?

You’re taking the wrong pills Kathy.

I’m sure some Fentanyl would help.

Kathy Griffin wasn’t depressed because people were angry with her; she despises them anyway. She was depressed because she realized she ended her D-list career.
