Jul 6 2006Kathy 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 thought it was payment for being married to her.
5. trulymadlydeeplytori - July 6, 2006 1:01 PM
Her hubby has big, fat baloney tits
6. Italian Stallion - July 6, 2006 1:04 PM
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...............

...and to think she almost died having lipo.....ALMOST.....bummer.........
9. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - July 6, 2006 1:06 PM
A good wife would've kept quiet about it and lauded him with dick-sucking for his ingenuity and craftiness.
10. Spindoc - July 6, 2006 1:08 PM
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.
11. RichPort - July 6, 2006 1:09 PM
Ugly chicks deserved to get robbed, especially when the plastic surgery just don't work the way it did on paper.
12. DancingQueen - July 6, 2006 1:19 PM
Wow, she really looks like a transvestite with a bad weave in this picture. Scary Joker face!
13. kimpossible - July 6, 2006 1:19 PM
You know how some women have that look that screams, "I am really a Transvestite !" Well I always thought Kathy had that look.
14. jrzmommy - July 6, 2006 1:26 PM
12 & 13-- you share the same brain!
15. CoJo - July 6, 2006 1:26 PM
Guess that "reconciliation" isn't going so well...
16. Fugurself - July 6, 2006 1:29 PM
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.
17. UNWASHEDMASSES - July 6, 2006 1:30 PM
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...
18. hotplateface - July 6, 2006 1:32 PM
14... 2 bad you couldn't find someone to share one with.
19. tinyTy - July 6, 2006 1:33 PM
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.
20. sweetcheeks - July 6, 2006 1:34 PM
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.
21. d1thorn - July 6, 2006 1:36 PM
Kathy rocks... why are we making fun of someone who makes fun of the people we hate? C'mon now.
22. oshkoshb-goshdammgosh - July 6, 2006 1:47 PM
They offered Kathy the lead role in Nanny MCPhee because they would have saved money on makeup. True story.
23. Maskatron - July 6, 2006 2:21 PM
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.
24. Jacq - July 6, 2006 2:24 PM
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.
25. Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest - July 6, 2006 2:35 PM
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!
26. jFp - July 6, 2006 2:47 PM
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.
27. cruzin333 - July 6, 2006 3:05 PM
#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.
28. SpecialAgentWind - July 6, 2006 3:09 PM
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".
29. hotplateface - July 6, 2006 3:24 PM
#28: Hey SpecialAgentFart, I am not lamebananas you dumbfuck.
I bet you masterbate by sticking your dick in a can of spaghetti-o's.
30. kandyk0119 - July 6, 2006 3:36 PM
I think the most unbelievable thing about this story is that someone married her ugly, no joke tellin, ass.
God, theres nothing worse than a corny abnoxious and ugly Z-lister and REDHEADED gross.
31. Giggles - July 6, 2006 4:17 PM
#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.
32. PapaHotNuts - July 6, 2006 4:26 PM
She is a redheaded Screech from saved By the Bell.
33. jFp - July 6, 2006 4:30 PM
maybe he needed the money for a cure of dick-rot.
34. ob1 - July 6, 2006 5:02 PM
And this whole time, I thought he had married her for her stunning good looks.
35. loveinthefields - July 6, 2006 5:24 PM
#34, can you please post your headshot? I'm sure you're really, really hot yourself.
36. Spindoc - July 6, 2006 5:30 PM
#22 oshkoshb-goshdammgosh
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, you are one nasty bitch.....Marry Me.
37. loveinthefields - July 6, 2006 5:31 PM
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.
38. loveinthefields - July 6, 2006 5:35 PM
dick rot? real clever. she's ugly? whoa, brilliant commentary. i thought you had to be at least 13 to post?
39. Shelley Bonnechance - July 6, 2006 6:05 PM
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.

STFU you whiny little cum dumpster before i cyber punch you in the vagina.
Kathy Griffin is a no talent,transvestite look alike freakshow...now deal with it.
41. torpedo_tits_tonya - July 6, 2006 6:35 PM
Captain Hero, you're so forceful, rowwrrrr baby!
42. loveinthefields - July 6, 2006 6:52 PM
mmmm cum dumpster...but how do you know so much about me just from my comments about kathy?
Daddy, is that you?
But back to k grif, i really want to know who you consider funny- for real. I want to know who you consider talented.
Where's that pic anyway? Can't wait to see it...
43. torpedo_tits_tonya - July 6, 2006 7:03 PM
Now Dane Cook is one funny and delicious bitch.
44. MamaK - July 6, 2006 7:06 PM
Wow I really can't believe all the negativity! I am a first time poster (hi) and I wanted to post only because I really think she is HILARIOUS! I feel so bad all these negative comments! Her show is the only thing I try and watch... Kathy is you read these ... I am thee hardest person to make laugh and I loose it when I watch you - I think you're just great!
Just moved to Hollywood and I hope I run into you one day ...
Don't let anyone bring you down - you're shows are PACKED!
Much love
45. YoMamma - July 6, 2006 7:43 PM
I am completly let down by you assholes.
This chick is funny. She is "thesuperficial" LIVE in person!!!
I dont get it.
46. scamps - July 6, 2006 7:47 PM
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.
47. The Necklace Lady - July 6, 2006 7:55 PM
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 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.
49. Valtrex - July 6, 2006 9:32 PM
I'd do her, for $72,000.
50. TaiTai - July 6, 2006 9:37 PM
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.
51. semicongal - July 6, 2006 9:56 PM
Kathy G. is awesome... did you see the show she did for the soliders in Iraq. I think she is amazing and real... and she doesn't pretend to be anything she's not. Nevertheless you guys are really funny... and I am sure would have a laugh herself. First time poster anywhere... I just had to ring in on this.
52. semicongal - July 6, 2006 9:59 PM
BTW-- what's the deal with being first? Honestly who cares?? I don't get it....
53. Valtrex - July 6, 2006 10:19 PM
Kathy's a firecrotch....but her clit's only 3 feet long, she hasn't been as used as Lohan.
54. MamaK - July 6, 2006 10:50 PM
That commercial where she plays a security guard is freakin hilarious...

Kathy rocks... why are we making fun of someone who makes fun of the people we hate? C'mon now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree...she is like our queen....we should be like the "Good Feathers" from Animaniacs and erect a statue of Kathy in our town centre...so we poo on her from time to time....but by gosh...she is our hero.....she makes money what we do here on our own volition...for nothing....
so say what you might.....but she is funny even though Matt is her K-Fed...
Keep on Rocking in a Free World Kathy!
56. Valtrex - July 6, 2006 11:17 PM
Animaniacs, yeah....good times!
57. Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest - July 7, 2006 12:51 AM

"I feel so bad all these negative comments! Her show is the only thing I try and watch... Kathy is you read these ... I am thee hardest person to make laugh and I loose it when I watch you - I think you're just great!"
BWAHAHA best comment ever. Especially "loose it," damn that made me laugh. Do you use Depends for when you "loose it?"
59. Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest - July 7, 2006 12:52 AM
Is she funny? Yeah sometimes. But is she fugly? ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!!
I think loveinthefields IS Kathy Griffin.
60. Sheva - July 7, 2006 1:22 AM
Anyone who appears on that stupid Baba Wawa show to promote something and gets into a death match with that dried up old hag is fine with me anyday.
As K.G. said when the dried up bitch started in on her, "Bring it on bitch."
She's a funny fuck.
61. MamaK - July 7, 2006 1:30 AM
Yes Pearly ... I use depends. I'm thee only 24 year old I know that wears diapers. Is that alright with you?
Kathy rocks.
62. ricosuave - July 7, 2006 2:40 AM
I don't think she's ugly, she just hasn't gotten a nose job and in that picture has a bad haircut.

64. cinnarose - July 7, 2006 12:11 PM
She looks a lot like Al Gore. They must share the same plastic surgeon, and the same fast food drive-thru window.
65. asenath7766 - July 7, 2006 1:29 PM
Who cares about that? I can't help noticing how the top of her head is flat like Frankenstein's Monster whenever I see her on E!
66. Pearly - July 7, 2006 2:30 PM
"Yes Pearly ... I use depends. I'm thee only 24 year old I know that wears diapers. Is that alright with you?"
You're "thee" only one huh? You are also a retard who needs to save up for a dictionary. You may wear the urine soak-up pad of your choice. It's 'lose" not "loose"
dumbass.
Who mentioned TS somewhere? Who are all these awful newbies?
67. GG 4.33 - July 7, 2006 3:42 PM
Kathy should annoy me, but she doesn't. If anyone needs trashing, it's celebrities. Man, I would love to have 72,000 dollars hanging about the place myself.

That is the ugliest drag queen I have ever seen.
71. slowdancecore - July 8, 2006 3:56 AM
she's not funny, she does the typical female jokes. watched her show the other day, she said "my vagina's seen combat" and everyone laughed, how the hell is that funny? she makes jokes about periods and feminine hygine products and gets laughs. even when she makes fun of celebrities, she doesn't do a good job at it, people think it's funny just because she's making fun of them, big fucking deal. my opinion on her bad comedy has nothing to do with her looks. but she does seem like a female carrot top. "where my gays at?" that's not funny. she's not original. cheap laughs.
72. garbagepailkid - July 9, 2006 8:23 PM
Come on guys, it's hard enough being a middle aged woman trying to make it in hollywood. Let's give her a break Okay?
Just kidding.. That broad makes leatherface look like a goddamned beauty queen.
73. Sidebar - July 10, 2006 11:15 PM
I love #27's comment. You can't do $72,000 with an ATM that easy. How did he get the PIN? Now that we know she's a liar to the highest power, we can question some of her other comments ( like stuff about the view present and former members). Personally I think she and Ann Coulter would make a great couple. They wouldn't qualify as a lesbian couple because they would both have to be women. They would make a great Gay couple however.
74. MediaGrrl - July 16, 2006 8:57 AM
i worked with her on a Comedy central thing a few years ago, and I have to say she was one of the coolest celebs I've met, and very funny. This was before she went nuts on the plastic surgery-- though after she had written a women's mag article warning girls about the dangers of plastic surgery-- and looked goofier, more natural, better. She was hilarious, and I agree with the other posters-- she slags off the celebs we love to bash, so she's on our side!
75. Larry - July 17, 2006 12:10 AM
Oh, come on, leave Kathy Griffin alone. After all, she is a comic genius.
76. andyplace - August 5, 2006 3:27 AM
Matt always reminded me of Peter Griffen anyway (family guy)
77. Heather - June 5, 2007 3:56 PM
I think Kathy is funny. I don't think she's ugly. When they show her w/o makeup she is pretty. She just needs to stop the plastic surgery and severe bangs.
78. Sarah - September 3, 2007 9:28 PM
Why do celebrities need to be beautiful? Kathy may have money, a huge house, fame, but she's still a funny hometown girl at heart.
