Kathy Griffin Reveals What She Did on New Year's Eve Instead of Hosting on CNN

Kathy Griffin is on the cover of THR‘s latest issue.

Here’s what the comedian had to share with the mag:

On what she did on New Year’s Eve, instead of hosting CNN’s show with Anderson Cooper: “With my handsome boyfriend, making love.”

On the seriousness of her “crime” (aka her controversial “beheaded Trump” photoshoot): “I didn’t commit a crime. I didn’t rape anybody. I didn’t assault anybody. I didn’t get a DUI. I mean, my God, there are celebrities that fucking kill people.”

On the advice she received from crisis experts: “I was hearing, ‘Go away for five years. I was like, ‘I’ll tell you what: You go away for five years.’ ”

On the night the image was released, Griffin was set to host a dinner party for Melanie Griffith, Rita Wilson and Kris Jenner: “I wondered, ‘Should I cancel the dinner?’ And then I thought, ‘No, these are three women who could probably give me good advice.’ ” The dinner party proceeded as planned. “We sat at the table and talked about it,” recalls Griffin. “We hashed out options, and they were trying to make me feel good – getting the laughs going because I was so freaked out.”
