Kathy Griffin Addresses Accusations of 'Bullying' Bristol Palin (VIDEO)
Kathy Griffin received widespread criticism (and publicity) earlier this week after U.S. soldiers booed her over a Bristol Palin joke during 'VH1 Divas: Salute the Troops.' The comedienne had said Palin was seemingly the "only contestant in the history of ['Dancing With the Stars'] to actually gain weight" during the show. She then compared Palin to a "white 'Precious.'"Griffin addressed the outcry -- in particular, Elisabeth Hasselbeck's assertion that Griffin was "bullying" Palin -- on 'Chelsea Lately' (weeknights, 11PM ET on E!). "There's a big difference between being a comedian and bullying. It's our job, it's what we do."
"You're absolutely right," said the host. "I don't take anything I say seriously ... Bullying is being a bully to someone who's defenseless -- a poor little person who's done nothing wrong, not the people who are a--holes."
