Summary
A 20-year-old image of Kathy Griffin sitting amicably beside Donald Trump is authentic, Griffin said in a YouTube video after people sent her the photo claiming it looked AI-generated.
Griffin said she and Trump were once friendly on the event circuit in the 2000s, when he would regularly appear at public functions and laugh at her jokes.
The comedian said MAGA supporters often recirculate such photos to portray her as hypocritical because of her later, highly public attacks on Trump.
That clash traces back to 2017, when Griffin posted a mock severed-head image of Trump that triggered bipartisan backlash and a Secret Service investigation; she later withdrew her apology and said she was proud of it.
