'Musk misspelled my name, on purpose I guess. That doesn't bother me, but please, Elon, don't put my name in the company of white supremacists like Trump.' Kathy Griffin: I was planning to quit Twitter before elonmusk banned me

, theaters canceled my stand up shows because of bomb threats, I was investigated by the Secret Service and put on the"No Fly" list for several months, and I couldn't get a gig on TV for years.

I learned that my old friends weren't coming back. Anderson Cooper calling my photo"disgusting" still hurts because I really adored him. Andy Cohen saying"I don't know her" after it all went down was, and is, painful, because I really enjoyed my time at Bravo.and Seth Meyers were great, they were the only two that would have me on. Aubrey Plaza brought over a casserole two days after everything blew up. I don't think I'd even changed my f****** pajamas.
