Liberal Hollywood comedian Kathy Griffin has had her fair share of legal woes — and now she is in the middle of a nasty public fight with her attorney.
In May, Griffin created a large controversy when she shared a series of photos of her holding a severed and bloody President Donald Trump head. The photos caused widespread outrage a– it even led to Griffin being investigated by the Secret Service.

Trump tweeted after the scandal saying that his children “are having a hard time with this. Sick!”. First Lady Melania Trump broke her silence later on to condemn the comedian.
Griffin was then fired from CNN over the incident, and was replaced as the New Years Eve special host.
Lisa Bloom, a well-known Hollywood attorney, stood at Griffin’s side as she held a press conference to apologize to America for the scandalous photographs.
During the press conference, Griffin wept and asked for the public’s forgiveness. Griffin’s attorney listed other Hollywood celebs that have violent lyrics, images and videos towards Trump.

Bloom stated, “It was a parody of Trump’s own sexist remarks taken to an extreme, absurdist visual,” referring to the President’s remarks about Megyn Kelly, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.” She closed out her case by saying “The message is clear: Criticize the president, lose your job. And that’s what happened to Kathy.”
Press conferences are a staple in the legal strategy of both Lisa Bloom and her mother, Gloria Allred. The press conference and half-hearted apology, which Griffin later took back, was not well-received.
She lost not only her hosting gig with CNN, but also other appearances she had scheduled in the future.
That seemingly did not sit well with Griffin. Rather than learn from her mistake, she blamed her advisors. On Oct. 18th, she took to Facebook to condemn Bloom and “blow the lid off of fake feminism.”

She stated that “Yes, I got Bloomed. Yes, I did not have a good experience with her. I felt that she and her husband exacerbated my personal situation. That horrible press conference was a disaster.”
Okay it looks like we may be ready to start having THE conversation. I’m a comedian first and foremost, but am still swirling in the storm of the current awkward but necessary conversation about equality for all and especially the treatment of women and girls. I kind of pop off in this video, but then back it up with some actual emails. FYI – I will be using Facebook periodically for some more in depth thoughts and revelations on this topic. If it’s not your thing, no worries, I’ll still be posting plenty of silly, funny, and occasionally inappropriate things on Twitter and Instagram.Watch the video below & see the emails in the comments:

On Sunday, Griffin followed up the Facebook video with a tweet targeted at Lisa Bloom.
Dear @LisaBloom pls stop calling me. If you’d like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I’ll talk to you

During an interview with The Daily Beast, Griffin played the victim card. She explained that Bloom had recommended a media tour, that Griffin shot down automatically. Griffin also cited that her entertainment attorney and her First Amendment lawyer were not okay with a tour in wake of the horrible press conference.

“Lisa said, ‘Kathy, I don’t like it that you’re the only other woman on this call and you’re not speaking up for me,’” Griffin told the Daily Beast. “And I’m like, ‘Are you fucking kidding me? After everything I’ve been through, you’re gonna try to play the fucking feminist card with me? . . . Are you fucking nuts? It doesn’t work that way. I don’t have your back on this one at all.’”
Following Griffin’s public meltdown on social media, Bloom took to Twitter to respond to the liberal celeb.

Bloom has since challenged Griffin by stating that she should show her call logs. She alleged has only texted Griffin once, and called her boyfriend once.
This is not the last that will hear from Kathy Griffin, as she promised more discussions “about equality for all and especially the treatment of women and girls,” on her Facebook page.
Embarrassing.
