Life isn’t getting any easier for Kathy Griffin.
The My Life on the D-List alum is still trying to claw her way back into mainstream media’s good graces after the fallout from her bloody decapitated Donald Trump photoshoot last year. But that’s easier said than done when one has enemies left and alt-right!
Kathy shared an update on her dire situation in a Twitter rant on Monday, telling her followers that she’s been subjected to constant threats — and has even been placed on a “kill list”!!!

Calling the attack from the “alt-right media” a literal “relentless campaign,” Kathy alleged she’s been hit with “threats of violence… in very specific ways.”
Sadly, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The 57-year-old also fired shots at her supposed showbiz allies, revealing she’s barely gotten ANY help in booking paid gigs in the past year.
Specifically, she called out Ryan Seacrest for being mad at her over apparently hiring the stylist who accused him of unsavory behavior and someone “in the booking dept.” of Stephen Colbert‘s show for having a “bad taste” about her in their mouth.

She also laid into RuPaul’s Drag Race for cutting ties with her, despite Kathy appearing on the show “many times for free.” And, just for good measure, fired shots at the UNGRATEFUL Michelle Wolf for not reaching out to Kathy after she defended the newcomer’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner jokes! Woof.
The industry vet ended her tirade on a somewhat positive note, saying she’s going back to “doing anything and everything I can to sell out every single show on my tour.”
Read an update on Kathy’s sad situation (below):
A) I am truly excited and grateful to be able to go back on tour. As you guys know I am honest if nothing else. So, here’s the latest: Things have not gotten better for me.

B) In fact, I just found out I├óΓé¼Γäóm on a brand new “Kill List.” Constant death threats and threats of violence toward me in very specific ways. None of the social media platforms I need to make a living and sell my tour tickets will step in and help at all.

C) So these people or robots or whatever feel more empowered. Trump, and his game criminals, and the right leaning alt-right media have not let up on me. You’re probably not aware of this because I’m assuming that if you are reading this you are not part of that group!

D) It is literally a relentless campaign.
Here’s some tea: Maybe fun for you to hear, but not fun for me to live. And trust me I’m giving you a couple examples out of many.

E) I hear Ryan Seacrest is “mad” at me and spreading the word around. By the way that├óΓé¼Γäós how it works, not just in my industry – trust me. Why? Because I hired the woman who accused him of #MeToo “activity” (a stylist) and I PAID her. Something no one did for me…

F) Until I had the opportunity to appear on “The President Show” on Comedy Central a few weeks ago. It was a fantastic experience & I thank everyone there, especially Anthony. Not like all these other folks asking me to do stuff for free and acting like they├óΓé¼Γäóre doing me a favor.

G) Someone in the booking dept of the Stephen Colbert show has a “bad taste” about me in their mouth. I├óΓé¼Γäóm told it├óΓé¼Γäós because my former publicist Cindi Berger, (a real Lisa Bloom type), said something to them that I am not privy to.

H) I have never even done the Colbert Report nor have I done the Stephen Colbert show. And of course I do not know this booker.

I) RuPaul├óΓé¼╦£s Drag Race! A show I have done many times for free on LOGO, now I am told that they are on VH1, much larger viewership, as you know, someone over there has a “problem with me.” And they├óΓé¼Γäóre spreading the word around.

J) How else do you think I hear about all of these assholes bitching and moaning about how difficult I am because I’ve had to work myself to the fucking bone my entire career. A show I’ve always done for free.

K) Not one but two DIFFERENT award shows had me HOST their events multiple times at the Beverly Hilton or some fancy ball room until they decided to televise these award shows and then of course they hired someone else to host them on television.

L) I have eight Emmy award nominations and two Emmys. They just used me to basically learn how to do it for free. That’s my trajectory.
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) May 7, 2018
M) I wrote probably the most definitive defense of Michelle Wolf out there. It was a thread picked up by the Hill as well as HuffPost. Something no one (and I mean no one) of my stature did for me. Sorry, not sorry for the “of my stature”, certainly not in a timely fashion…
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) May 7, 2018
N) I have not even heard a word from her. I stand by my defense of her because I have to. But you’re welcome everybody. Whew!
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) May 7, 2018
O) Ok,now, I will get back to work doing anything and everything I can to sell out every single show on my tour. TIMES NOT UP YET Love, KG

Wow.
Miz Griffin has certainly never been afraid to burn bridges, but it’s starting to look like she has none left to burn.
At least she still has her fans?
