Comedian Kathy Griffin warned her fans on Tuesday that they may have one last chance to see her comedy show before President-elect Donald Trump allegedly locks her up in a camp after his inauguration.
Griffin made the remarks while promoting her touring comedy show, “My Life on the PTSD-List,” on Chicago’s WGN radio.
The comedian, known for her controversial antics, referenced her past struggles with travel after being placed on the “no-fly list” following the backlash from a photo she posted in 2017.

The image depicted Griffin holding a bloodied, decapitated head that resembled then-President Trump.

She described how her ability to travel had been restricted in the aftermath of the incident but noted that she was now able to fly again.

However, Griffin expressed concerns that her situation could take a turn for the worse as Trump prepares to return to office. “Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camps,” Griffin said during the radio interview.
She went on to claim, “I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious.” While her remarks were tongue-in-cheek, it was unclear whether Griffin genuinely believed Trump would imprison her or if she was attempting to generate attention for her comedy tour.
Kathy Griffin says she is scared Trump has put her on an “enemies list” while suggesting she could be sent to an “internment camp.”

Griffin continued, explaining her perception of Trump’s response to her 2017 stunt. “He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup. And he brings up my name every chance he gets,” she said.
Despite Griffin’s statements, there is no indication that President Trump has ever suggested implementing internment camps for his political opponents, making her claims appear more aimed at stirring controversy rather than reflecting reality.
The comedian also reminisced about her earlier interactions with Trump, recalling her time on the Bravo network while Trump was still a part of NBC’s “The Apprentice.” “At the time, you know, most of us just thought he was kind of a harmless buffoon, but when he says he’s going to build camps for his enemies list, he may not be kidding,” Griffin said.
She added, “So, you know, I’ve got my antenna up, but I’m not going anywhere. I have four doggies. I have a great group of friends. And I love it here.”
Despite her claims of being on an “enemies list,” no action has been taken by Trump or his administration to target Griffin or other critics.
Griffin’s career took a significant hit following the infamous “beheaded Trump” photo, which prompted widespread backlash, a Secret Service investigation, and public condemnation.
She later claimed that the incident caused her to lose a substantial portion of her audience. “I permanently lost at least one-third of my audience as a result,” Griffin said.
However, she also insisted that her devotion to the country remains strong, citing her performances for U.S. military personnel in Uzbekistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. “Don’t tell me I’m not a patriot, darn it,” Griffin asserted.
While Griffin’s anti-Trump rhetoric continues, her career has struggled to regain its previous momentum.
Nevertheless, her recent comments and tour promotion suggest that she remains committed to her brand of controversy and satire, regardless of the consequences.

No, you redheaded banshee, I will gladly wait and pay BIG BUCKS to watch your showtime special that is broadcast from the beautiful surroundings of GITMO!!
She is a “Coyote Morning” where you wake up badly hung over, and see that creaturd next to you–Ugh!! I would gnaw my arm off to avoid waking this brainless beast up as I escaped!
She is not aging well in so many ways!!! That, and Trump still lives inside her head for free all of these years. What a witch, the View witches must have loved having her on the show too? Peas in a pod…
She claims to have lost a third of her audience. I believe it would be more than half now. What an absolute waste of oxygen.
has it looked at itself in a mirror lately?
Redheads generally come in two versions, beautiful and unattractive. Griffith adds a third version: horrifically disfigured. Both inside and outside.
She can’t get work because she’s not funny and who want to look at that for more than a glance?
CORRECTION: KG is NOT a comedian. She nothing more that a loud mouth that spouts stupid.
How exactly was he “scared”?
I’d rather watch the show of her getting put into Trumps internment camp!
