Kathy Griffin Sparks Feud with Rosie O'Donnell over Jimmy Kimmel Guest Stint
Griffin said she felt hurt after not being invited to join O'Donnell's guest-host run, while praising her friend and urging fans to keep watching.
- On Thursday, Kathy Griffin publicly expressed hurt over not being invited to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live during Rosie's guest-hosting week, stating, "My feelings are really hurt that I was not invited."
- Before the hosting week began, Griffin told Donnell she would love to appear on the show after learning about the guest-hosting opportunity during a conversation between the two comedians.
- Tension emerged after Donnell discussed Griffin's 2017 controversy on The Tangle, where Donnell said she felt horrible for what Donald Trump did to Griffin, though she critiqued the mask for "shock value."
- Responding on Instagram, Rosie told Kathy, "shoulda called me honey- I didn't choose the guests." Griffin later clarified she was assured the decision to exclude her did not come from Jimmy Kimmel Live bosses.
- Recalling seven years without work following the 2017 incident, Griffin urged fans to support Rosie, stating, "We're good pals," and promising to watch every night despite the hurt feelings.
