Hollywood comedian Kathy Griffin has spoken out in defense of her “friend” Amber Heard by trashing her ex-husband Johnny Depp as an “orange, fat, bloated boozebag.”
Griffin was commenting on Depp’s recent victory in court after his defamation battle with Heard.
Speaking during a radio interview with former White House correspondent Brian Karem, Griffin also described Depp as “Donald Trump with a ponytail.”
“I just think Depp is gross,” Kathy said as she started to criticize the actor’s physical appearance.
“These Johnny Depp stans that are talking about this trial and yet they refuse to show pictures of what he looks like now, which is a big orange fat bloated boozebag.
“He looks like Donald Trump with a ponytail.
“And so they keep sticking up for him and being like, ‘Amber is taking down Johnny! He’s so gorgeous and dreamy!’
“I’m like, ‘okay, he talks like Kanye when Kanye had his jaw wired.’
“He has a fake accent like when Madonna turned British.
“So, you know, who are we kidding here?”
Karem said: “He’s a Kentucky boy, so every time I hear that from him I go, ‘He didn’t learn to speak like that in Kentucky.’”
“He learned it from his idol, Keith Richards,” Griffin said.

“Well, I am a friend with Amber Heard I completely believe her,” Griffin continued.
“I don’t even know what the question is it’s actually really disturbing to me as a woman and a lifelong feminist.
“Also just you know what I mean there’s just been going on Hollywood about him being an abuser since Kate Moss is the first time I heard about.
“I heard about it and Winona Ryder when they were dating and he had a Winona forever owner tattoo and then she had her tattoo I think it was changed to El Diablo.
“Which is not a good sign.
“But I will say I cannot speak for these women but I wonder if they just changed their tune because nobody wants to get Amber Hearded it and I say that and I am a verb myself.
“I know that when it comes to, you know, political discourse nobody wants to get Kathy Griffined as I was very famously canceled and all that stuff but I’m…”
After losing the battle in court and being ordered to pay Depp $15 million in damages, Amber Heard said: “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words.
“I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.
“I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women.
“It is a setback,” she continued.
“It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated.
“It sets back the idea that violence against women is to be taken seriously.
“I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of Freedom of Speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the U.K.
“I’m sad I lost this case.
“But I am sadder still that I seem to have lost a right I thought I had as an American — to speak freely and openly.”
