Kathy Griffin is not partial to Matt Rife

Known for being controversial herself, Kathy Grifin knows what it is love to be raked over the coals in the media for comments mentioned either off the cuff or all over one in every of her acts.

Her comedy excursion was canceled on the spot and her gig on CNN to co-host New Year's Eve was taken clear of her as nicely.

As such, when Rife answered to Marlon Wayan's comment about how comedians "can't be afraid to offend," Griffin was once not able to hold her tongue. Rife was actually speaking at a roundtable discussion with only men — no feminine comedians were incorporated.

"I think the subject matter all comes to intention," Rife defined. "What is your intention in saying some reckless s*** right now? Are you trying to upset somebody or are you trying to make light of a certain subject that way it doesn't take up such a negative space in someone's mind and they can laugh about something that may have brought them so much grief and discomfort."

After seeing this comment and with what she had skilled after being canceled in 2017, Griffin was once no longer overjoyed. Griffin took to social media to express her disgust.

"I am so tired of you ladies blaming your poor decision-making skills on planets that don't even know you. It has nothing to do with the stars, man," Rife mentioned in his set. "Just because Jupiter has a ring and you don't doesn't mean that's what you're supposed to look up to for this magical advice."

After this aired, social media influencer, Bunny Hedaya posted a video to Instagram. In the video, her six-year-old son called Rife for saying Jupiter rather than Saturn. He also instructed the comic that he used to be "mean to girls."

Since the video was uploaded, the feedback have been taken down. However, multiple sources claim that Rife responded to the post. In doing so, he didn't mince phrases with the tyke who attempted to close him down.

"Jupiter also has [a] ring. OH!... Santa [Claus] isn't real," Rife wrote. "Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans. Good luck."

This comment stuck the attention of Mia Khalifa. Khalifa knows how social media controversy can kill a career. As such, she not best spoke back to Rife's response but cut him to the fast in doing so, possibly with the intention to get him canceled.

"Maybe if he had an OnlyfFans he’d be able to afford a better injector for that filler," Khalifa wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"That's the funniest thing in the entire world to me," Rife said. "Because I hit puberty too late, I didn't look like this until I was like 23. Everyone's like, 'He's got cheek fillers, he's had his lips done,' whatever, jawline surgery is a thing, I guess. It's like, sorry [if] you need surgery to look like that."
