Email Revelation at BravoCon 2025
Kathy Griffin expressed her discontent after Andy Cohen revealed their recent email exchange during BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. Cohen, 57, mentioned to the audience that he and Griffin had communicated via email for the first time in eight years, suggesting the possibility of reconciliation. Griffin, 65, was taken aback by Cohen's public disclosure and shared her feelings during a stand-up performance in Anaheim on November 22, 2025.
Background of Their Feud
Griffin and Cohen's contentious relationship dates back to 2017 when Griffin was dismissed from her role as co-host of CNN's New Year’s Eve Live after a controversial photoshoot involving a fake decapitated head of then-President Donald Trump. Following her departure, Cohen took over her position, which further strained their relationship. Griffin has previously described Cohen as a "difficult boss" during her tenure at Bravo, where she starred in her reality series, *My Life on the D-List*, from 2005 to 2010.
Griffin's Reaction to the Email
During her stand-up show, Griffin recounted the details of Cohen's email, which she received late at night. She described it as "sort of nice" but noted that it lacked a genuine apology, characterizing it instead as a "sorry, not sorry" message. Griffin speculated that Cohen likely had the email vetted by lawyers, anticipating that she would read it publicly. Despite acknowledging Cohen's power in the industry, she expressed a desire to avoid further public disputes, stating, “I don’t really need to be in any more beefs.”
Emotional Response and Future Possibilities
Griffin admitted to feeling emotional after reading Cohen's email and quickly responded. However, she was hurt by Cohen's decision to publicly discuss their private correspondence at BravoCon. Reflecting on their history, she remarked, “You emailed me for the first time in eight years after f***ing doing me dirty and taking my job on New Year’s Eve... but okay.” Despite her hurt feelings, Griffin did not completely close the door on reconciliation, responding to inquiries about their future relationship with a tentative “maybe.”
Criticism and Opposition
Griffin's comments highlight the complexities of her relationship with Cohen, revealing a mix of nostalgia for her time at Bravo and resentment over past grievances. She has previously criticized Cohen for his treatment of her, describing him as misogynistic and alleging that he had harassed her during their working relationship. This history adds a layer of tension to their current interactions.
