Queen of saddle bags Kathy Griffin says she won't try to make up with Anderson Cooper, says Andy Cohen treated her 'like a dog'

Kathy Griffin says there’s very little hope of her ever 
reconciling with her friend and New Years Eve co-host, Anderson 
Cooper.

The two have been at odds ever since Cooper reacted to a 
controversial photo Griffin posed for in 2017 in which she held 
a fake severed head of President Trump. Cooper decried the image 
publicly, which Griffin took issue with given that he didn't 
reach out to her privately first.

“For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin 
took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely 
inappropriate,” he tweeted at the time.

Griffin was fired from CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve broadcast 
after the photo scandal, which she had co-hosted with Cooper 
since 2007.

In a new interview on “People Now,” Griffin, 57, explains that 
mending broken fences with Cooper probably won’t happen, arguing 
that’s not really the kind of person he is.

“I don’t think he’s that kind of guy. I just don’t think he’s 
wired that way,” she explained. “Jeff Zucker, he was my boss at 
NBC and then when I was at CNN. I didn’t work at CNN. That’s 
another thing, the Trumpers go ‘Kathy Griffin =  CNN = ISIS’ and 
I’m going, ‘Wait a minute, one night a year. I’m not a 
reporter!’ I just think Jeff and Anderson aren’t those type of 
guys.”

She continued: “I just don’t think he has really any interest in 
[making up]. Like I said, after going through something like 
this, I’m done chasing people. I’m down to three friends on a 
good day. I just kind of want to go where I can make people 
laugh.”

Griffin has previously explained that she doesn’t think Cooper 
will ever apologize to her and has said in the past that she no 
longer considers him a friend.

The comedian also pulled no punches in the interview when 
discussing her old boss, Andy Cohen.

“Andy Cohen treated me like a dog. He was one of the worst 
bosses I’ve ever had,” she said. “The guy decides the entire 
slate at Bravo and he gave himself a talk show that magically 
gets renewed every year.”

Griffin noted that she had a talk show on the network for two 
years before it was canceled and theorized that she was posing a 
competition to Cohen, leading to her ousting.
