Her confession came shortly after accepting Out Magazine’s “Advocate of the Year” award in front of Hollywood elites and left-wing activists.
The Photo That Nearly Ended Her Career
Griffin became a household name for the wrong reasons after posting a controversial image in 2017 showing her holding what appeared to be Trump’s severed, bloodied head. The backlash was swift and severe.
CNN immediately fired her from her long-running New Year’s Eve gig with Anderson Cooper.² The Secret Service opened a federal investigation to determine if the photo was a threat.³ She claims the Transportation Security Administration even put her on a no-fly list, causing repeated detentions at airports.⁴ Griffin estimates she lost about one-third of her audience permanently.⁵
Blaming Trump for the Fallout
For years, Griffin held Trump personally responsible for her career troubles.
“Of course I think that he was behind the investigation,” she said in 2018. “You know, he has a vendetta against certain people.”⁶
She initially apologized in a tearful social media video:
“I sincerely apologize. I am just now seeing the reaction to these images. I’m a comic. I crossed the line. I move the line, then I cross it. I went way too far,” she said.⁷
But months later, Griffin reversed course, telling an Australian TV show:
“I am no longer sorry. The whole outrage was BS.”⁸
Making Peace With Trump Supporters
Despite her past claims, Griffin now says she has found common ground with those who back Trump.
“I think it’s important to be around people that do have different opinions and we get along,” she explained. “So there’s an understanding.”⁹
She acknowledged some supporters still react strongly to the infamous photo.
“So I still am confronted about that photo to this day and complimented about that photo. But I get both,” she said.¹⁰
Exposing Hollywood’s Double Standard
Griffin’s admission highlights a truth Trump supporters have long known: the apocalyptic warnings from Hollywood elites often don’t match reality.
For years, she cast herself as Trump’s victim, warning that his administration posed an existential threat to the LGBT community. At the Out100 party, Griffin even compared America’s current political climate to Nazi Germany:
“I really think we’re Germany in the ’30s, and we’re the frogs and the pot is boiling,” she said.¹²
Yet Griffin maintains friendships with people who support the very man she once equated to Hitler. This either suggests she never truly believed Trump was dangerous—or that she’s perfectly willing to socialize with those she once vilified.
The Quiet Truth About Celebrity Trump Derangement Syndrome
Griffin’s candid admission exposes a larger pattern in Hollywood: elites use extreme anti-Trump rhetoric to signal virtue to their leftist audiences and secure their place in the entertainment world.
When the cameras turn off and the awards shows end, many privately acknowledge Trump supporters are not the extremists they portray publicly. Griffin just said the quiet part out loud.
If Trump supporters were truly a fascist threat, Griffin would not be enjoying drinks with her “quite a few Trumper friends.” Yet she does—and continues to collect accolades and paychecks from liberal organizations.
Her revelation raises an uncomfortable question for Hollywood: if Griffin has been lying about Trump supporters, how many other celebrities are running the same con?
