Kathy Griffin Recounts Abuse Allegations Against Late Brother in New YouTube Video

Her YouTube video revisits allegations that she says divided her family.

Overview

  • In a recent Talk Your Head Off episode, Griffin described her late eldest brother, Kenneth, as a pedophile and said the trauma endures.
  • She recalled first warnings at age 10, alleging his first wife told her he beat her and pushed her outside naked into the Chicago cold.
  • Griffin said Kenneth was a violent crack addict who lived on the streets and likely had an undiagnosed mental illness.
  • She said the disclosures created lasting rifts in her family and that she refused to protect him because she prioritized the children she believes he harmed.
  • The discussion came as she reflected on Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths and their son’s arrest, and she later noted supportive reactions from viewers on social media.
