DON’T CHANGE A WORD OF IT.
That was the strongly-worded advice given to Kathy Griffin by an unnamed CBS exec, shortly after her Trump photoshoot debacle.
Back in May, Griffin caused worldwide outrage by posing with a doll gussied up to look like Donald Trump‘s decapitated, bloody head.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The guano-insane letter insists Griffin somehow had “to get to Trump himself, who has been known to be compassionate….”
“You have one chance left if you send the following letter (NOT AN EMAIL) to the President. DON’T CHANGE A WORD OF IT. (Go to Google for “how to address the President” and where to sent it, etc.”
“You will EXCLUSIVELY release the letter to Fox Broadcasting (DO NOT SEND TO THE OTHER NETWORKS). I think this will possibly get you over this mess.”
Here’s the gist of the letter:
“I do not deserve what I am asking of you. I am begging you to open your heart and forgive me. I have done a terrible thing and I have lost may [sic] career and my life. My career is over as I have lost the respect of my audience. I spent my entire life to get to wherever I was in stand-up comedy, only to lose it forever.“
Griffin describes the letter as “NUTS” and says she was sharing it — with sender’s details redacted — because CBS “may not be aware that their board member has these leanings.”
Holy sh*tballs! Please read entire letter. Not a joke. It's from a current member of the Board of Directors at CBS. NOT…

Here’s the letter in its entirety:

I really think she’s just all washed up. I still find the pic upsetting and wish it were blacked out. Gruesome.
Larry
But I guess when Republicans did the same thing to President Obama you were not offended, huh. Sorry you were upset but Trump is a Nazi-loving, racist piece of shit.
Juanjo
Stop doing drugs and get control of your own life. Then you won’t fall apart like that over nothing.
sydboy007
@Larry when exactly did the Republicans show a decapitated Obama?
Political violence is not the way forward. Giving tacit approval like it’s ok to punch a nazi will lead to the fall of society.
dancp
@sydboy007 I agree. Remember in 1945 when we defeated Nazi Germany by respecting their perspectives and agreeing to disagree. #Neverforget when U.S. soldiers stormed the shores in the Battle of Free Hugs For Nazis. Never forget how they raised the white flag of surrender after we had a civil discussion with them over tea and cake. Recall the photos of the concentration camps that were liberated when we told the guards that we respect their freedom of speech. That is how we win from the Nazis, not all this violence.
DuMaurier
@dancp, we’re not at war with anyone (Nazi Germany was something called a ‘country’, btw)
SactoMan
sydboy007, it was called burning in effigy. Any pos could look it up with an easy google search. There were hundreds and hundreds of examples.
o.codone
Juanjo. Have we actually seen your papers yet? Oh yeah, that fake birth certificate. So, even YOU, a guy who works in an auto body shop can be president too. BTW, I’ll never get clean, I love it more than I love your fat brown di*ck. And, that’s saying something. Shoot (in) me now.
Minerva Pomerantz
Probably batshit crazy, and guy most likely to bend over forward for Trumpie, Leslie Moonves. Cathy will be vindicated. She has TONS of new material. She will be OK. She needs to start selling those plastic heads in time for Halloween.
IanHunter
I AGREE! Thank you.
Rob91316
Right???!!! This Halloween, when y’all see a gazillion people dressed up like Kathy holding a decapitated Trump head, good luck to you floating that argument that she’s all washed up over this. And I guarantee you that will be one of the LEAST offensive anti-Trump costumes you see this upcoming Eve of All Saints!
SactoMan
What a great idea!
JessPH
I am so totally going to be Kathy Griffin holding a severed head of Trump this Halloween. Thanks for the idea.
Spike
Time to put the Confederate Nazi’s Head on a stake and carry them like those white supremacists carry their citronella tiki torches!!!
sydboy007
What’s your view of the antifa thugs? Race based identity politics leads to violence and the downfall of society
Kangol
@sydboy007, no, white “race based identity politics” has ruled this country for too long, and has led to our downfall. The Nazis, KKK, Evropas, 3 Percenters, all of them, showed their true racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic colors this past weekend, and one of them murdered an innocent woman. Why are you defending them?
Ummmm Yeah
Is she ever going to stop begging for the attention no one is going to give her?
Kangol
Well, you responded to the article, so why not just ignore it and her?
alterego1980
Well, on the bright side, Trump has proven that you can’t say anything too crazy anymore; and that there are 2nd chances out there. and 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. Build yourself back up, Kathy!
Kieran
She’s talentless, disgusting and homophobic. Please just go away.
phlmeow
and your not ??
He BGB
She should never have cried on tv and said Trump had broken her. Joan Rivers never apologized. I think she was freaking out but it didn’t create sympathy or anything positive. History will prove one day that rump is crazy and controlled by flattery and knows nothing about running the country.
homogenius
@kiernan…how the hell is she a homophobe? Sounds like you need to get out more and know who you’re talking about. Regardless of your personal opinions on her, she is HILARIOUS and she isn’t afraid to say all the shit many of us think, but just don’t often say. Say what you will about her but she is the one who will get the last laugh. And FYI; she has always supported the lgbtqia community and has done more for us than most of us even have, look it up.
Alas, the GOP twats may not have burned Obama effigies in public, but there were numerous highly racist occasions of Obama effigies being burned, decapitated and defiled in all ways.
At the end of the day, it’s called FREE SPEECH, look it up. While some of you are just whiny, butt-hurt log cabiners, you should still know the constitution and what it means. To help y’all out; freedom of speech means we can say just about anything we want about whomever we want like it or not. The great part is, if you don’t like it, you can say you don’t like it in speech or in writing. Get over yourselves. Kathy griffin is far funnier and speaks more truths than the GOP ever will
SactoMan
Agreed. Kieran hasn’t made me laugh once. But then bitter judgemental queens are so tired. I wish they would just go away….
SactoMan
If anything she has gained more respect from her audience…
o.codone
Can I have a chocolate shake with that Kathy? When do you get off shift? Maybe we can have a coffee and talk a little about your past career in show business, (just not too much because I have to tell you about sum important shizz. My dog had kidney surgery, OMG). You know, that career you had before you cut your own head off? Stupid clown. Bye bye.
MrKnowItAll
Bravo! You win
JessPH
The only thing wrong in what she did is that she was not holding Trump’s real head. Also, she should have not apologized. Joan Rivers would have been ashamed of her for doing that.
Can’t wait for Kathy’s next gigs. I bet they would be sold out.
DCguy
Hey Kathy Griffin, if you aren’t going to name the guy then don’t bother.
I’m beyond bored with people in Hollywood and their constant stories of “Oh THIS person was racist, or sexist, or bigoted to me” or “This person molested people” or “This person sent me this crazy letter” and then NEVER REVEALING WHO THE PERSON IS.
IF you’re not going to do anything to change things, then don’t bother. Either release the executives name or shut up.
ErikO
LOL Griffin did this for attention thinking that people would like it or find it funny, little did the idiot know that joking about what IS does to people is not cool, and her career or what’s left of it is basically over.
