Kathy Griffin married a thief

In an interview with Larry King, Kathy Griffin says she split from her ex-husband after finding out he’d been stealing her ATM cards while she was sleeping and withdrawing money from her bank account. She says:

“My ex-husband, without my knowledge, was sneaking into my wallet when I was asleep in the mornings and taking my ATM cards from my private accounts and withdrawing money. That money totalled $72,000.”

I don’t know what’s more shocking. The fact that Kathy Griffin didn’t notice she was missing $72,000 or the fact that Kathy Griffin actually had $72,000. I guess before she hit it big with the D-List stuff she must’ve been supplementing her income with rodeo clown work. You’d be surprised how easy it is to find work in the clown field when you look like Kath Griffin. It’s right up there with ‘fake wax figure’ and ‘model for plastic surgery gone wrong.’

    He must have stole her funny too, because the only thing funny about this bitch is her looks.

    This picture reminds me of what Jennifer Aniston will look like in ten years, did I say years, what I meant was months. Hey Vince, this is your future……………

    A good wife would’ve kept quiet about it and lauded him with dick-sucking for his ingenuity and craftiness.

    Hmm, then again, they were married in CA. so technically it was THEIR money. Divorce laws cut both ways ladies. The funny thing is, she’ll probably end up paying him alimony.

    Kathy is a MILF!! I’m sure the hubby started stealing money when Kathy started getting her plastic surgeries. He was stealing the money to get botox injected into his wrinkled testicles….

    He heard somewhere that women are really into smooth nuts.

    What a dumbass. Has anyone seen her hubby? Don’t get me wrong, Kathy’s no prize, but this guy is a poor man’s K-Fed. He gets to hobnob with celebs, eat and drink in the best restaurants, live in Hollywood, and be on t.v. and all he has to do in return is fuck Kathy Griffin? I know that’s alot, but come on. I only hope they caught that confrontation on tape. Next time, on a special My Life On The D-list, Kathy confronts her husband’s thieving ways while her parents drink themselves numb. Somewhere, ringing in the Hollywood Hills, half of tinsletown laughs…

    Speaking of transvestites, I once thought of trying to create a business buying catering to the transvestite market. After contacting a few of them by e-mail the feedback was that they had a hard time finding hosiery. A friend of mine thought of the company name Transves-Tights. I just told that story because I liked that company name. But I gave up on this idea after I quit drinking (not kidding). I have nothing to say about Kathy Griffin.

    Well, that’s what happens when you insist on being ugly. You eat alone in the cafeteria in high school, your husband steals from you, your mother stops returning your phone calls, and your pet tries to kill you in your sleep. It’s nature’s way of maintaining the balance.

    A word to the wise: STOP BEING SO UGLY.

    They offered Kathy the lead role in Nanny MCPhee because they would have saved money on makeup. True story.

    I think her husband was some IT nerd guy. He probably needed money to buy some rare hentai DVDs or to buy World of Warcraft loot on eBay.

    And yeah, technically, it was his money too. How much money would you all need to stare at her O face?

    Speaking of Kathy, IMO her strongest work was her role in “It’s Pat”. Holla at me.

    How can he take her money unless he had the PIN? I told my last boyfriend my PIN so that he could make a withdrawal from the driver’s side of the car, but then I had to kill him. Such a waste.

    Hey Kathy honey, if you got a guy to fuck you repeatly for 72k you got a bargain. I wouldn’t fuck you once for 72k. OH who am fooling? Of course I would! But I’m a pig. OINK! OINK!

    why is it her money and not his too?

    if the shoe were on the other foot she would be bitching there wasn’t more than 72k to withdraw….bitch.

    #24 right-o.
    And isn’t the limit on ATMs usually like $500 within a 24-hour period? So he “stole” her debit card and withdrew money… 144 times????! He must have stopped having sex with her, but she wanted a less embarrassing reason to divorce him.

    So Hotplateface has to be lamebananas. I bet my brothers last $5 on it. Her ex was actually gay like all of her male friends, but he jumped teams b/c she is such a tranny. The $72,000 was for therpay for having to tap “it”.

    #10 — If she had the money before they married, it’s hers. Community property is only whatever is accumulated during the marriage. Her “husband” sounds like an ass.

    K Grif is the only celeb that has the nerve to say what we’re all thinking. She’s on OUR side you guys! Why do you hate her so bad? She tells it like it is even though it has cost her (what i’m sure was her highest paying gig) her job on E.
    Have you even seen her act or show? She’s hilarious. She’s not just blindly name calling & ripping on celebs just for being celebs, she’s funny because she’s always right on! And she totally keeps it real- She certainly didn’t have to come forward with the shameful fact that her fat f**k husband was stealing from her.
    I don’t understand how you could like the superficial & not like her.
    If you don’t think she’s funny, i’m curious to know who you think is.

    I like Kathy Griffin and I think she’s hilarious.

    But how weird is it that your husband could steal money from you? My husband and I have one account and we each have our own ATM cards to withdraw money. We would definitely notice if $72,000 was withdrawn because the police would be at the door arresting us for kiting checks or whatever.

    I think if you’re a rich married person and you insist on keeping your own private bank account, you’re just asking to get hosed in one way or another.

    Yeah, how many of YOU have over $72,000 in your accounts?

    And when I had my shopping addiction, I at least had the decency to squander my OWN money, dispite the fact that I had my fiancee’s PIN.

    We’re going to see one of her shows. Didn’t know she was divorced, though…. thought they had reconciled…. I’ve been wrong. Once. Or twice.

  48. Shelley Bonnechance | July 6, 2006 at 8:19 pm

    She’s one of the few people who makes me laugh out loud. Her take on Anna Nicole Smith, drunk and eating rice pilaf, is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Especially when she throws Little Richard (“A-wooooooooooo!”) into the mix.

    And when she tells about getting Barbara Walters all worked up on “The View” – omigosh.

    I’d love to see one of her shows. I agree with #45 – Kathy Griffin IS The Superficial. One of the things I like the most about her is that she rips on herself and her D-List status just as much as she rips on the shallow, ego-inflated celebrities that make this place such a fun place to post.

    I love her. I think she is funny, and I have to like anybody who is a regular on Stern. She can’t help it if she’s ugly — she tried to fix it! I guess it just didn’t take. Too bad, she could have used that $72,000 to try again. Next surgery: freeloader amputation.
