Are Anderson Cooper And Kathy Griffin Still Friends? | WWHL

[@christopherw1272]

He decided to make a public statement about his close friend instead of just telling her personally... I've looked at him differently ever since.

[@aaronxalapa]

He did the right thing

[@DR-cr3zo]

@@aaronxalapa no hes a coward.

[@LadyDiuto]

Same here. he didn't have to make that public statement , if anything he was supposed to be that friend that helps her bounce back. He literally said "she's dead to me" It doesn't matter if she said it first, she had the right o be upset at him. Chris Cuomo wouldn't respond like that.

[@DJDiegoGarcia]

@@LadyDiuto He was probably pressured by CNN to make a statement (she was not working for them but she did the NY eve with him anually and people were messaging them a lot about that). What he should have done was message her in private "hey, gorl, cnn is asking me to do a statement, but i am here for you" and call it a day.

[@shanec9840]

"We're still friends but I wish her the best"...? What "friend" says that? Anderson lost me as a fan. I agree with him that what Kathy did crossed the line, but what he did also crossed the line as a friend. I don't like fake friends. A fake friend is a fake person. Andy, watch out!

[@steveb4662]

+Shane C: Agree 100%. I was never a huge fan of AC, but I could watch his show if I had to. Not so much anymore. Rumor is that Andy and Anderson will be hosting New Year's Eve now. Good luck with that. Does anyone think people tuned in to see AC? I don't think so.

[@marlanaferro1481]

Andy has nothing to fear for he's a Cohen. Enough said.

[@nickyd.7169]

@@marlanaferro1481 what does that mean? Because he's Jewish? What, his last name is Cohen? I suppose because he is Jewish that means he has money? He has money because he works for it And you are an anti semetic pig . I can't believe in this day and age someone like you thinks it's ok to say such a stupid ignorant predudiced statement. Open your mind and shut your mouth

[@DR-cr3zo]

exactly. She was a real friend to him but he was a real fake friend. How sad.

[@Comenter0999]

He did her wrong

[@slytherinnyc]

I lost respect for him when he threw Kathy under the bus and just left her for dead. I guess the Vanderbilt coldness lives on. Just my opinion.

[@ericametzinger4061]

More like Vanderbilt fortune

[@Spicegirls1234]

Showbusiness. Just naturally brtual

[@privategirl4716]

He didn't just publicly disagree with her Trump head joke on Twitter. He metaphorically rubbed salt in her wound after she was fired from CNN by totally snubbing her for 2 months and dissing her joke on tv afterwards. A true friend doesn't do that.

[@TimisaLilMonster]

What "friend" says "I wish her the best"....like....really???

[@txsailor82]

“I wish you the best” is not something you say to a friend. That’s what you say when you say farewell to somebody.

[@googleuser4010]

Anderson: “Wish her best” Andy: “She’ll be back touring” Sounds like 2 bullies trying to whitewash their nasty personalities. They only said these things because an audience asked. I bet you they hadn’t given a thought of how badly they damaged Kathy.

[@patriciaesqueda8933]

That didn't sound convincing. I'm calling bull. It seems Kathy considered him a friend but he didn't consider her friend. Anderson's a bit shady

[@kristine7689]

Hmmm...He sounds flustered. I don't think they have spoken to each other since his public comments about Kathy Griffin.

[@25avcollege]

I hope that's not true. They were/are great friends, and incredibly funny when together. Where's there show

[@heidikickhouse-]

@Kristine That's just not fair, give him a break! He wasn't expecting to have to scramble his brain for such big lies so early in the day.

[@Orlandojesse]

I was a fan of Anderson once, that was before he didn't stand up for my girl Kathy Griffin. 😂

[@justinemaebarton3410]

Ok mind telling what Happened?

[@ericametzinger4061]

I agree

[@lindsaycrites2789]

Why would you stand up that tho I'm not even a Trump fan but what she did was disgusting

[@jessicacollins3886]

He didn't, I don't care what anyone says he just wanted to get away from the situation as fast as possible. He didn't defend her at all.

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

@@lindsaycrites2789 She's a comic. They push the boundaries. I didn't like the photo either, but she didn't deserve to lose her livelihood, have death threats sent to her dying sister, or mother or herself, nor the abandonment of "friends" which clearly Anderson wasn't a real friend enyways.

[@Blackblax]

It's a good thing Anderson never went into acting, because it's obvious he's lying. LoL. And with "friends" like him, who needs enemies.

[@robertjahn4190]

"I wish her the best" Ouch.

[@RealityChick77]

My opinion of him changed from this whole situation. A true friend publicly stands behind you and reams you in private or stays silent. Fake as fuck

[@shanec9840]

I agree, but I don't necessarily agree that a friend has to stay silent publicly. I don't have a problem that he spoke out against what she did, because what she did was wrong; however, I have a problem with how he handled it and what he said. He didn't have to be that heartless against her. If was as if she was a total stranger to him. And he didn't any call her and tell her how he felt friend to friend. I think he used her. I think he exploited her friendship when it was beneficial to him and CNN (their New Year's special). He's fake.

[@ladazibarova7357]

@@shanec9840 kathy griffin is a toxic individual

[@DR-cr3zo]

They are not friends. I just found out about this betrayal. An hour ago I loved Anderson Cooper. Now I really just cant see him the same way. The way people just decide to cut people off because they made a mistake is sad. He sees himself as better than her. Hes not. hes disloyal.

[@KempireRadio]

This really changed my opinion on him. He didn't have to say anything when it happened. I would have just kept quiet if that was my friend. His career wasn't on the line. AC is a star at CNN, so I don't see them forcing him to make a statement. But to each their own but he couldn't be my friend.

[@steveb4662]

+Drew G.: That's true, however, he didn't tell just her, he announced it on Twitter. Silence would NOT have given consent in this case.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

KempireRadio I fully agree. He is a traitor, plain and simple.

[@SEFYH]

KempireRadio 100 AGREED!! My sentiments EXACTLY!!

[@MatgoStyles]

Agreed, and what makes things worse is that he didn't reach out to her until TWO MONTHS AFTER.

[@GrotesqueHyydra]

He's a sellout

[@timolee]

"i wish her the best" mean you're cutting ties with someone and not speaking to them how is that still friends?

[@86figs]

HE IS SO FAKE

[@shriekingfishwife]

Then why did he unfollow her on his instagram? A friend wouldn't just block you when you're down

[@marzthegreat6655]

phantastik123 Because talking and hanging out in real life is still a thing on the social media we call outside.

[@shriekingfishwife]

Or he's a liar that says one thing and does another.

[@25avcollege]

People he has a career, with the news. He has to make some decisons based on that. Yes the statement was harsh. Tlit was simply a matter of tough love if you ask me. The Instagram was probably CNN. Kathy would never want him to ruin his career.

[@shriekingfishwife]

Girl bye. His position with CNN was never in jeopardy, and that tough love call is BS.

[@DR-cr3zo]

@@25avcollege tough love and never speak to her again?

[@Paul-se4qh]

I have to be honest, I never saw Anderson the same way after the Kathy Griffin fiasco. He seemed like a nice guy...but appearances can be deceiving. The way he threw her under the bus was straight up fucked up.

[@DR-cr3zo]

he was scared, he has a deep fear of strong women. and this made him run for his life

[@heidikickhouse-]

​@@DR-cr3zo Do you mean like his mom? That's a riot! He loved KG being a strong black woman for many many years before this. This stunt was totally in keeping with who she has always been. We're safer not psychoanalyzing people we don't know and just judging them on their actions. For me, this was an act of pond scum. Clearly lying about it here only underscores that.

[@ewanoxborrow1024]

She openly said he cut all ties after he made his public statements. For him to sit there and pretend they’re still buddies says a lot.

[@heidikickhouse-]

Yeah, except that's not pretending. That's lying. And he's not even good at it. Mr. Suave, Mr. Facing Down the Guerilla Bazookas in Only a Too-Tight T-shirt, is so uncomfortable trying to thread this needle here, you can feel the flop-sweat.

[@jonathanlopez8061]

I look at him differently when he turned on his friend. You can't trust someone like that

[@Howelton2020]

Shady Mr. Cooper. I was a fan, no longer, bye Felicia.

[@Johtter]

These two men could have literally done so much to help Kathy in one of her darkest hours. Yet they both condemned her. She would have been better a lot sooner if they had done something. Such slime.

[@themiserykid]

I've always stood up for other friends in their time of need, but often times when I needed someone to be there for me during a difficult time nobody was to be found. Anderson showed what type of friend he really was -- the kind of friend you don't need. Kathy would have had his back or at least said, "No comment." Anderson is a phony.

[@tertiary7]

I lost any respect I had for AC180. He'll just have to go live life with his Vanderbilt money without my approval!

[@reggieho6321]

It's not just because of what has happened with Kathy Griffin but Anderson Cooper has always struck me as a person who only looks out for himself. Not that it's unique to him but he does it in such a way that it makes me cringe sometimes. I wouldn't trust this guy to walk my dog.

[@catluke1]

If Kathy took your father or say kids head and showed it to the world all bloody and said what she said would you still worship her as you do? If I had a friend do that and I was in the public light I would not go along with it. I maybe I would just stay silent about our no longer friendship and say I did not support her in that being funny! let me get one your pictures of Facebook of family and I can be funny most said I should be a comedian , and show it all bloody will you give me likes?

[@Shesnotsosouthern]

FYI... lol when someone says "I wish her all the best".... never have those words equated to "We're still friends" 😉

[@DrewWasMe]

He made a career decision and bailed on his friend. He's full of BS, but retained his popularity.

[@heidikickhouse-]

He didn't just "bail". He publicly condemned. He added his support to the screaming mob that forced her to leave the country in fear for her life. He's a coward. I'm not a Griffin fan, but what so offended him is the exact same kind of stuff she did when he was giggling hysterically along, making money from it.

[@YAH-1]

[@Yikkkes23]

Poor Kathy she needed a friend and was left to rot.

[@TheArcaneMaster]

When he's claiming to still be cool w Griffin, he can't even pick a spot on the floor to look at and fidgets like a child caught in a lie. The second half of what he says actually seems to have a current of real emotion in it. i think he totally means it about hoping she gets up and going again. You can see a flicker of regret. He feels bad that he had to throw her under the bus to keep his golden boy image unbesmirched, but he's too much of a gutless conformist to admit he was wrong and stand up for his friend. You can tell he misses her but he'll never reach out or fix this bc his place at the table of the landed gentry and heteronormative aristocracy is more important to him than fighting for the liberties being stripped from citizens by tyrants.

[@トーストハル]

If my friend - any of them - committed an actual crime, I'M STILL GOING TO BE THEIR FRIEND. It's my unsaid job to help my friend back onto the right path and do what friends DO: BE THERE FOR THEM. Goes to show how thin and shallow friendships are in Hollywood huh?

These two are so full of crap. Will never forgive either of them for what they did to Kathy. Expected from Cohen, Cooper should learn the value of friendship. Even in her darkest hour, Kathy didn't say anything bad about Anderson. Not a peep. THAT'S CLASS. THAT'S HOW YOU TREAT A FRIEND. Take some notes Anderson, phony.

I think Anderson ALWAYS "only" tolerated Kathy-you can see it in their videos-and was glad to get rid of her. She was obnoxious around him, so he should have ceased the friendship years ago. None of his friends or staff seemed to like her and it was always obvious she was much more into him. Anderson is not a "Will and Grace" type of gay man. He prefers to be close friends with guys, IMO.

Alright look, a ton of people are saying AC is a fake friend because he didn't defend her. A real friend would give you the truth and their personal beliefs and opinions on the topic. AC believes what she did was wrong and inappropriate and that's coming from him. If he truly did believe she was in the right, he would have defended her. If you are friends with someone, you don't have to make your beliefs and opinions the same. If you wanna know what a fake friend is, it's someone that you call a friend that lies to you, is fake with you, talks about you behind your back, and will throw you under the bus when they can for their own gain.
