Kathy Griffin Criticizes Jon Hamm for Alleged Nasty Comments
Kathy Griffin has publicly criticized Jon Hamm for comments she deems offensive. According to Griffin, her negative experience with Hamm occurred during a Hollywood party hosted by Sue Mengers, a prominent agent who passed away in 2011. This incident, described by Griffin, dates back more than 15 years.
Encounter with Jon Hamm
Griffin recounted the awkward moment during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “In Your Dreams” with Owen Thiele. She was engaged in a conversation with iconic actor Jack Nicholson at the event when Hamm interrupted her.
A Memorable Conversation
Griffin was excited that Nicholson acknowledged her. He was discussing his role in the film “The Departed,” a movie she considers a classic. The conversation was particularly thrilling as Nicholson typically does not speak about his film work.
Controversial Comments
- During this intimate gathering, Hamm, who was reportedly intoxicated, leaned in and made derogatory remarks.
- He allegedly said, “You’re so old. What’s it like to be so old? You know your Emmys are fake Emmys?”
Griffin confronted Hamm by pointing out that he has not won an Emmy, a fact that adds irony to his remarks.
Jon Hamm’s Emmy Journey
Despite his criticisms, Hamm did eventually win an Emmy award in 2015 after 13 nominations. This history further complicates Griffin’s accusations and highlights the competitive nature of awards in the entertainment industry.
Recent Developments
In a lighter note, Griffin has also recently shared her experience of “accidentally falling in love” with a younger man, drawing attention to her dating life and personal experiences.
While Griffin’s experience with Hamm remains a topic of discussion, it also serves as a reminder of the unexpected dynamics present in Hollywood social gatherings. Her recounting of the incident keeps the conversation alive about respect and professionalism in the entertainment sphere.
