Andy Cohen Slams Kathy Griffin Over Cocaine Accusations: ‘It Is 100% False’
Andy Cohen recently fired back at Kathy Griffin after she accused him of asking her if she wanted to do cocaine before appearing in “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.”
On his Twitter account, Cohen said that Griffin’s accusations are 100 percent false. He also said that he is stunned by her version of the story which was released as part of the former CNN host’s YouTube video, titled “Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story.”
In the 17-minute clip, Griffin made multiple claims against Cohen. She said that Cohen himself privately asked her if she wanted to do “blow.” At first, Griffin thought Cohen was just kidding. During her second appearance on the show, Griffin said that Cohen asked her directly if she wanted to do cocaine.
Other than the cocaine allegations, Griffin also said called Cohen a “miserable boss,” during the time that her show, “My Life on the D-List,” was still airing on Bravo. “The whole time I was working there, I didn’t know Andy Cohen wanted to be me,” she said.
The shocking statements by Griffin came just days after it was announced that Cohen will be replacing her as the host of CNN’s “New Year’s Eve” special. Last week, Cohen expressed his excitement over his new gig. He is especially excited to be working with his best friend, Anderson Cooper.
TMZ caught up with Cohen last week to ask for comment regarding his new hosting gig and replacing Griffin. He joked about not knowing who Griffin is and said, “Who? I don’t know her.”
This statement did not sit well with Griffin who did not only lose her job to Cohen, but who also claimed that they have known each other for a long time. Griffin was axed by CNN after she uploaded a controversial decapitated photo of President Donald Trump in May.
After the photo’s release, Cooper made it clear that he did not support Griffin’s move at all. He admitted that he’s appalled by the photo shoot that the controversial host took part in.
Griffin apologized for her actions a few days later, but it was not enough to keep her hosting job.
