Kathy bites off head of Trump mess att’y

- Nicole Hensley

COMEDIENNE Kathy Griffin has cut ties with lawyer Lisa Bloom after saying she failed to navigate backlash to a mock decapitati­on of President Trump.

Griffin asked Bloom to “stop calling” in a terse tweet Sunday.

“If you’d like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I’ll talk to you,” Griffin wrote in a public admonishme­nt of the lawyer who rushed to her defense after a controvers­ial photo in which Griffin held a severed head resembling Trump’s appeared online.

Afterward, Griffin tearfully blamed the President and his family during a June press conference for trying to ruin her career.

Bloom suggested Griffin has only herself to blame because she went off-script.

“She was, as she says, then widely panned for her comments. Now she blames me,” Bloom added.

Bloom lost face after briefly advising Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in his burgeoning sex scandal. She quickly dropped him as a client.
