Elisabeth Hasselbeck calls Kathy Griffin ‘Scum’ after Prostitute Joke
Yesterday, Elizabeth Hasselbeck referred to Kathy Griffin as straight-up “scrum” on The View. Griffin had jokingly referred to Scott Brown’s daughters as “prostitutes” on her Bravo TV show. (His daughters are 19 and 20 years old.)
“Just to call a woman a prostitute as a joke is disrespectful,” Hasselbeck said. Whoopi Goldberg backed her up, “Listen, if somebody talked about my daughter as a joke like that, I would beat their ass. So you can’t be surprised that Scott Brown took offense to it.”
Sherri Shepard tried to diffuse the situation, saying they shouldn’t fuel the fire. This prompted a cross-armed Hasselbeck to reply, “You defend your daughter’s against scum who come after them.”
“Are you calling Kathy ‘scum’ now?” Joy Behar asked Hasselbeck.
“In general, if someone called your daughter a prostitute wouldn’t you think they’d be scum?” retorted Hasselbeck. “I’d call them scum if they (called one of my daughters one.)”
“I know my daughter’s not a prostitute, so it’s funny to me,” said Behar.
Goldberg suggested jokes be put only on Scott, not his daughters. “Remember comics, we know better than anyone else…we can say what we want, but sometimes the giant jaw comes and grabs our behinds and chews it up.” she warned.

Oh my gosh, I can not watch this show without wanting to slap some of these women. I know my mother always told me not to say anything if it wasn’t nice, but my mother is not here to read this. First, Kathy Griffin is just vile to the core. She is a total sell out for fame and fortune, sad really. Joy Behr is just pure D evil to the core. If I had to work with her, well let’s just say she should be thankful I don’t. Enough said, my blood is already boiling.

I think people need to just lighten up. Kathy is not vile, she is just a comedian. Her taste in humor is obviously much different than others in her profession. Those who know of Kathy should know what to expect when they have conversations with her.
Kathy Griffin is vulgar, yes, but this is no secret. The people who get pissed about things she says most likely need a little excitement in their own lives. If Scott Brown took such offense to her calling his daughters prostitutes, then perhaps they really are.
