Kathy Griffin blasted male comics, calling them all “pigs” and claiming she’s seen “all their penises.”
The 62-year-old comedian tells Pvnew she’s been in the business so long that she’s seen it all.
“I’ve been at every party back in the day when they’d be like, ‘Kat, Look! My penis is a wristwatch. I’m like, ‘Yes, I get it. We’ve seen it again.”
She adds, “Guy comics are pigs. They’re all pigs. I’ve been around a long time. I’ve seen all their penises.”
While Griffin is not calling anyone out by name, she says the bad behavior was standard practice in the ’90s.
She says it was common at the time for male comedians to whip out their genitalia at a party and dry-hump her “with an exposed penis.”
“That was like a big joke in my day where one of the guys would grab you and pretend like he was like, butt f–king you. And it happened to all of us,” she notes, adding that male comics often thought of her as “one of them.”
“They don’t think of me as a girl,” she tells us.
The “Suddenly Susan” alum theorized why she believes male comics act badly using Pete Davidson as an example.
“He’s like, in a way, he’s like a typical guy comic because guy comics always get women that are too hot for them,” she explains. “And I think it makes them lose their minds.
“And, you know, a lot of these guys are not, how shall I say, conventionally attractive. And I’m just going to say that because I’ve been called ugly my whole career. So these guys don’t just want a nice girl or a good woman.”
Griffin then adds that the “SNL” alum is “talented” before jokingly confessing that her feelings about him come “from pure bitterness” because she is currently without any representation.
“I don’t have an agent,” she shared. “I don’t have a manager. I don’t have a publicist … I’m firmly back on the D-List where I belong.”
The “My Life on the D-List” star freely admitted that was still dealing with the fallout from the infamous 2017 photo of her holding a replica of former President Donald Trump’s severed head.
The repercussions of the viral image were immediate and intense.
Her comedy tour was canceled, CNN fired her from co-hosting its New Year’s Eve special, and she also was placed on a no-fly list as the Secret Service investigated her.
There were also hundreds of death threats.
It was the start of a challenging time for the former Bravo star.
She developed an addiction to prescription drugs and seriously contemplated suicide.
And in 2021, Griffin was diagnosed with cancer and had to have part of her lung removed.
But things are finally looking good for the standup veteran.
The “Official Book Club Selection” author says her health is “good” and recently performed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas and has another scheduled in October.
“I’m just dying to do a tour,” she divulges, sharing that her husband, Randy Bick -—who serves as her tour manager — has already fielded calls from Carnegie Hall.
“I want to go on tour. I want to do another special. I’m back baby!”
