Hollywood liberal Kathy Griffin is complaining that young Americans are mocking her on social media.
Griffin says she was stunned to discover that “youths” had “dedicated” content to her when she signed up for the Chinese Communist Party’s social media app TikTok.
She chronicled her attempt to learn how the platform works but was shocked to see so many young people in America, and across the globe, use the site to mock her and call her “ugly.”
“I just spent the last hour trying to work that TicTac!” Griffin posted on Twitter.
“I don’t know how to get verified.
“I don’t know how you can tell when a video was even posted.
“Are there trending news topics?
“I want weather updates and videos from political events.
“Am I stuck on this nightmare bird app?”

“Ugh. I don’t understand any of it. This place definitely gets more vicious every day,” she added.

“I made a video backstage is a Jimmy Kimmel Live show and then I made one at my house where Taylor Lorenz was trying to explain how to use it and I talked about cryptocurrency,” she said.

“I have two of them (TikTok accounts),” Griffin added.
“I think my real one actually has less followers but I’m not sure.
“It’s all very confusing.
“When I go on TikTok I don’t even see my profile page, it just starts playing videos.”

A couple of days later Kathy figured out the app and, to her horror, discovered what America thinks of her.
“Um, so on TikTok,” she said.
“Apparently youths make videos dedicated to how UGLY I AM & show photos of me.
“Oh, & there’s a song accompanying it called ‘look how ugly she is’.
“Jesus, who has the time?”
