They Cut Kathy's Kiss!
WHY?!
Kathy Griffin's kiss with Mariska Hargitay on last night's episode of Law and Order: SVU ended up on the cutting room floor! Kathy Tweets:
"They DID cut the kiss w Benson. I AM BABS DUFFY!!"
This is outrageous and HIGHLY homophobic editing we might add! Not impressed, SVU!
What do U think?

Fishface Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Highly homophobic?
God! Get a life, will ya?
It just didn't fit with the Hargitay's character in SVU, that's all.
Not in Canada!!
We saw it all!
It's just because of your American censors, for the land of the free you don't have much freedom
Just thinking of kissing Kathy made me not only throw up today's breakfast, but yesterday's too!
I don't know what Ms Griffin is talking about.. I watched SVU last night.. I love Kathy.. but there is nothing to get her pannies in a wad about. There wasn't anything hot and heavy.. but there was a kiss.
"HIGHLY" homophobic? Don't you think that's a little dramatic? God, just one more thing for you to complain about.
It wasn't cut in Chicago…
I didn't particularly want to see Kathy and Mariska's characters kissing, but I was a bit surprised when they didn't show it last night. I can't imagine why they felt the need to cut it. It wasn't graphic at all. They've got to know there will be backlash considering the kiss was already out there in cyberspace. I'm sure they'll come up with some half-assed reason for doing so.
I'm not homophobic….but i knew the kissing scene was coming up…and i started to get a lil uncomfortable…so i kinda gave myself an excuse to get out of my chair for a couple of minutes. I'm glad to hear that they cut it. sorry……to each it's own is my belief….it's just not how I roll.
No matter how GLBT supportive Kathy is, she is clearly NOT a lesbian. Get lesbians to play lesbians and gays to play gays!
Hello! Maybe it just didn't work!
Just because homosexuality needs to be more accepted doesn't mean that every show has to induct a gay storyline. That scene DID NOT WORK. SVU is not that kind of show that just throws things at you like that.
I think Law And Order is just beyond ridiculous. Once, when I was flipping through channels, I saw they had found a man's body with a banana up his ass: that's the only other time I ever tried to watch an entire episode of this silliest of shows - but I watched last night because of Kathy Griffin! Babs Duffy was a hoot, and I loved every minute she was on the air, though some hot lesbian action with Mariska Hargitay would have made it even better.
.
I love love LOVE Kathy Griffin, and I think and hope they kind of left the door open for her to come back… maybe LesBeStrong will be involved in another case… oh, and Mariska Hargitay's character is beginning to question her sexuality, and I believe she needs the guidance of Babs Duffy. NBC's does not have a very good recent track record of good programming choices, but they couldn't go wrong if they gave us more Babs Duffy!
.
Babs Duffy… LesBeStrong… Kathy Griffin… LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Highly homophobic? And if they had cut her from a straight kissing scene what would it be then? Perhaps it's just because Kathy is a shit actress and this whole scene was awkward enough with a lesbian scene in it.
What do I think? I think you're a whiny little bitch. "HIGHLY homophobic". Please. They could have just as easily cut out a kiss between a man and a woman, and nobody would have said anything. There is definitely a reason it was cut, like they changed plot lines, etc. Law and Order: SVU shows people getting raped… you think they are going to care about some girl-on-girl kissing? That would probably BOOST their ratings, actually. And besides, the fact that they filmed the kiss to begin with shows that they aren't homophobic.
GET OVER YOURSELF.
Yawn!
NEXT!
Ewww, it was probably cut because Kathy Griffin is gross. I think you're the only gay person that would want to see that hot mess kissing anyone! The lesbians were probably happy they cut that. Geez Mario don't you have better stuff to talk about. everytime I come on this site, and it's maybe 1 every 3 months due to shear bored, you have the lamest articles… Is this site even relevant anymore? I notice you don't post the number of vistiors very often anymore…
Cutting Kathy is a great idea. Why was she on the show in the first place? She is a disgusting person trying to be a 'shock act' and can't even get that right. Her time in the sun should have ended years ago.
not even homophobic
svu is a serious show and having kathy griffin A COMEDIAN kiss their main character just makes the tone a little more lol than dundundun
Who wants to see two old women kiss anyways… blech.
It was still sexier than Misha's fat, white cankles in the episode that followed.
They showed the kiss already on Australian TV.
*
But the full ep isnt on for two weeks or something I dont watch the show!
the entire scene is homophobic. i think it sucks to see them cut the scene, however maybe they did because it pigeon-holes lesbians by inferring they're all gun-toting, butch, male wannabees. And then she says "you might wanna stay outside"?? Wow. Glad they cut it. Some loser writer wrote that scene.
Thank God…that Kathy Griffin bitch is ugly.
it doesn't make it homophobic… the scene may have just not fit
yeah, i totally noticed that last night and was totally pissed the fuck OFF! It was BEYOND homophobic. I can't believe they can show every fucking flavor of freak murderer or rapist but they can't show two woman's mouths touch???? FUCK YOU SVU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is a second rate skank who is lucky to have a spot on that show. Who wants to see her kiss anybody?
I don't think cutting that scene had anything to do with homophobia. It was an awkward, really difficult to watch scene that deserved its place on the editing room floor.
What I think is that NOBODY CARES EXCEPT YOU AND THAT TRAINWRECK Z-LISTER THAT IS KATHY GRIFFIN. You're both a waste of oxygen.
Re: tateration2 – Baby…
Re: tateration2 – It's called Special Victims Unit dumbass, of course there's going to be murderers and rapists on it! The kiss wasn't appropriate so they cut it. Calling it homophobic is just pathetic.
Eeeew, that Kathy is quite fugly, besides being a bad actress, if you can call that crap, acting.
Porkez, stop bitching about your homocrap. Really, I'm becoming homophobic just because of you.
Maybe it was only cut in California. It was still there in Indiana.
It is outrageous. I don't see how it could have hurt the episode…
which btw felt like it played too much on stereotypes lesbians have been trying to break for a LONG time. The twist at the end feels like a stab to women who have to keep fighting the "RIGHT MAN" myth…
Im in NY, they showed it here, have no idea what ur talking about!? Could have lived without seeing it i mean iiiiiiick…who wants to see kathy kiss anyone seriously!?
Uh, excuse me, I'm still wiping VOMIT from my mouth! The Hollywood deviants strike again! Gotta slip in the perverted homosexual lifestyle any way they can. FURTHER, Katy Griffin is an atrocious PIG! OMG, this was disgusting and completely weird.
I thought it was ridiculous also and I'm straight and married. They could show Kathy kissing Meloni full on, but cut Mariska's, the show has shown way more risque scenes than that. I am an ABSOLUTE FAN of all the show, but with all the hype, the episode wasn't even that good.
The thought made me throw up in my mouth alittle. But, I don't see what the big seal was. Kathy is really a man anyway…….
Bring Babs Duffy back!
.
I just realized what the episode was really missing: Babs Duffy needs a chance to show off her hot bikini body. Seeing Babs in a bikini will make Mariska Haritay's character realize she needs to explore all the Lesbian Feelings that kissing Babs awakened in her.
Honestly as a long time viewer of L&O I'd find it strange and off-putting watching Benson make out with anyone. It's entirely out of character for her. Also it's possible that it was cut not because people find two women kissing to be offensive but rather because most people find Kathy Griffin's face offensive.
If Kathy Griffin kissed me I'd pay a lot of money not to let anyone know about it. She's gross.
Re: Aliarch – lol
aww that's sad that they cut it , i wanted to see it but oh well it was pretty good when she kissed stabler …
GOOD! PROBABLY MADE THE EDITOR ON THE SHOW BARF HIS LUNCH! I'M SORRY BUT KATHY GRIFFIN IS FUCKIN NASTY! SHE LOOKS LIKE A CORPSE NOW
really…WHO THE HELL CARES? The episode last night was a great one! I have to agree with curiousred, the kiss just would not have fit with Hargitay's character.
Calling the decision to remove the scene homophobic is just ridiculous! The scene worked better as shown. Perez, you need to get over yourself and stop whining everytime you don't agree with something. Not everyone feels the way you do and its people like you that give the 1st amendment a bad name. Just because you have the right to free speech doesn't mean you have to force your opinions on everyone.
further more…since it was shown some places but not others…maybe it was left to the networks to decide to show it or not. But I guess that line of thinking is a little to in depth for your tiny one sided mind to comprehend!!
wtf why would they cut that? it was funny, and the other girls exit. when I saw this o ur site b4 it was like good, a positive step for gays on TV, but to cut it I agree, is a lil homophobic.
I don't think it was homophobic..they probably realized they were taking Benson in a direction they didn't want to and cut it. Besides Benson could do much better than Babbs..i mean come on she is SMOKING HOT
Regardless of who you are or what your views are….they cut the kiss between kathy and mariska but showed her kissing stabler at the end. If that is not blaitant homophobia I dont know what is?
Re: tateration2 –
Hey stupid! Can't read? SVU has nothing to do about it. It's only some stations that cut the scene. No all of them.
It's not homophobia, but it is horseophobia.
Seeing Benson kissing a good looking chick would be good. Kathy?? YUCK! Thank you NBC for cutting this out.
I think it's Kathy, she's a "hose-bag"!
How about before you start screaming Homophobia, you check the reasons why it was cut from the show. Maybe it was a scene that wasn't really needed for the show. Stop screaming Homophobia and Gay Rights every time something happens. I myself being a gay man, am not insulted they cut the kiss.
Perez, I thought of you last night when I saw the show and noted that the kiss had been cut! WTF?????? Lame!!!!!!
That Babs character was pretty creepy though and I really enjoyed this episode.
Maja Fan of SUV, Chris
Get. Over. It. With or without the kiss, the line that Olivia says at the end of the scene was the same. If you think about it, the kiss makes no sense. Kathy's Character, Babs, was came our of the closet as bisexual. Babs was in a relationship with a man…the guy who got shot in the ass. She was happy (but in the closet) with him so why would she have kissed Olivia? To test her? It makes no sense. Quit being such drama queens and stop saying that its highly homophobic because it wasn't. Perez, if you are going to complain about something it would be best if you watched the entire episode! I am getting so sick of you half-reporting the facts and manipulating stories to your favor. I dont understand why you even want to be a judge on Idol, YOU DONT EVEN WATCH THE SHOW! I love you P but you are changing and its not good.
Re: EvaDiva – Shut the heck up. Kathy Griffin is not ugly, she is beautiful. Who the fuck do you think you are? Where do you get off saying someone is ugly or nasty> Where's your pic? You are hiding behind a pic of Eva Longoria. Is that who you want to look like?
AND before you start saying crap about how I haven't uploaded a picture I will go ahead and give you a rebuttal: I'm not talking shit about people's look and calling them Nasty for no reason, I'm actually talking commenting on the topic. If you say bad things about people's looks then you open yourself to criticism.
Those close-ups of Kathy last night were nasty!
I understand why you're upset that the kiss was cut (and I think NBC was wrong to cut it), but I think that calling it HIGHLY homophobic is a bit much.
You're right. They should have left it in just as they left Babs and Elliot's kiss in, but I really don't think that it's fair to call a show that regularly addresses the LGBT community (in a positive manner) and frequently has episodes solely based around that (such as last night's), homophobic.
She's got a face like a can of worms.
I could have sworn I saw Griffin kiss Hartigay on there, it was just a brief lip meeting and then Hartigay was like "whoah, I'm straight!"
That episode was great!
Maybe it didn't really further the storyline, and they figured it would just waste time to include it. Besides all it was was a little peck, it's not like there was any tongue action or anything, ffs.
maybe best for the funny lady coz she definatly isn't hot. I might have been eating and puked watching her trout face get all smoochie.
good call to cut that out. condolences canada
I don't want to see Kathy Griffin kiss anyone, male OR female.
who actually watches nbc anymore to notice whether it was cut or not?
perfect weight loss remedy…
Re: Phibes – BAHAHAHAHAHA…you speak the truth
i thought it was one of the most hilarious episodes of svu i have ever seen. they had almost every lesbian sterotype in it. they even had the theory of not meeting the right man. it was like a comedy. i think svu should be written like this from now on. it has gotten so awful the last 3-4 seasons. last nights episode was like southpark , totally not pc.
All I can say to Kathy is….you lucky fucking bitch! Sucks balls they didn't show it, but you still got to kiss her!
I don't think it was pure homophobia, i'm a fan of the show and honestly i don't imagine benson kissing another woman, she wanted kids and dated before, she wanted a guy in her life, i just don't think homosexuality is a choice
If Mariska's character was gay I doubt she would go with Kathy Griffin, Benson (aka Mariska) is way too hot and out of Kathy's league.
I saw the completed scene on TV—so what's all this "curring" BS? She was remarkable! Kathy's got acting chops—love ya bitch!
I'm glad they did homophobic my butt coming from a guy who shouted a really offensive gay slur you shouldn't be talking. It's not like anybody wants to see this effed up face kissing anything anyway.
"If I were you, I would stay outside." That's some homophobic writing, if you ask me.
