Award-winning comedian, actress, and author Kathy Griffin laughs in the face of, well… everything, including controversy. But she faced her greatest storm by far in 2017 when an infamous photo of Griffin holding a mask with President Trump’s likeness went viral on a global scale.
Within days, Griffin was fired, abandoned by friends, and soon became the subject of two federal investigations, ultimately having to defend herself under oath. Unbowed, Griffin created a new stand-up act, captured in this new docu-comedy, out of her life-rattling experience as a First Amendment warrior. If you think this is only the story of a D-List celebrity, think again: Griffin defiantly represents all Americans in defending her right to free speech.

What the Hell Is Happening With the Ongoing K-Pop Drug and Sex Crimes Investigation?On March 13, I wrote about the details of sex crimes investigation that shook the K-Pop industry, a music entertainment engine often viewed publicly as virtuous and clean-cut.

As a result, he quit the industry, but the investigation into Burning Sun continued. During the probe, Korean singer-songwriter and TV celebrity Jung Joon Young admitted to filming women in sexual situations without their consent (which is prevalent enough in South Korea that there’s a specific word for it: molka). In the months since, the controversy has only continued to implode—which brings us to the latest news: Yang Hyun-suk, founder and head of YG Entertainment—one of the big three entertainment companies in South Korea, known for representing Psy, BIGBANG, BLACKPINK and 2NE1—has resigned from his position, Variety reports.
