For a decade, the world was privy to Anderson Cooper’s and Kathy Griffin’s friendship every New Year’s Eve on their annual CNN special. We saw their juxtaposed personalities play out on screen as Griffin, the more daring of the two, acted as the comedic instigator, pulling off stunts like dyeing her co-host’s hair on air.

Those stunts came to an end after Griffin posed for a photo with a bloodied mask of Donald Trump’s face in late May; the backlash, which included tweets from the president himself, led to CNN firing Griffin from the gig. And, as Griffin reveals in a wide-ranging interview with New York magazine, it ended her friendship with Cooper as well.

Cooper, like plenty of other people, denounced Griffin’s photo shoot at the time, but in a July appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Cooper said the two were “still friends.”

According to Griffin, she hadn’t heard at all from Cooper when he said that. “The fact that Cooper was telling people publicly they were friends, while not checking in with her, hurt Griffin deeply,” writes New York’s Yashar Ali. “When he finally reached out to her in a series of text messages, she told him their friendship was over.”

Surprisingly enough, Griffin also discussed her falling out with CNN president Jeff Zucker, whom she credits with reinvigorating her career in 2003 with the deal for Bravo’s Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Their relationship had its tense moments after that, including an attempted salary renegotiation for the New Year’s Eve gig that led Zucker to threaten to fire Griffin and replace her with Samantha Bee. He also kept a tight limit on the number of Trump jokes she was allowed to tell (only four) for the 2017 broadcast. When the Trump photo emerged, Zucker did not hesitate to cut ties with Griffin.

This is where Griffin and Trump share some common ground, though both would likely balk at the idea. Both the comedian and president owe their careers, to some degree, to Zucker, who gave Trump his start as a reality star when he was head of NBC Entertainment. Now, CNN has become Trump’s leading target for claims of “fake news,” while as The New York Times noted in April, Trump’s presidency has saved CNN (now solidly on his enemy list) from its “previously scheduled struggle for survival.”

Griffin notes that she’ll “be fine,” but she is also contemplating her own career’s survival after the Trump photo scandal led to canceled gigs and endorsement deals. As the comedian looks ahead, Republican political strategist Rick Wilson told New York that Griffin only has one choice: to keep fighting.

“The way Trump wins is if he shuts people up permanently and scares them off from being vocal critics,” he said. “She has to go back to war.”
