Kathy Griffin may be kicking off her world tour in Australia, but that hasn’t stopped her from making waves here in the States.  She Tweeted, “Dear @LisaBloom pls stop calling me.  If you’d like to refund me the tens of thousands of $$ I wasted on your services maybe I’ll talk to you.”  You’ll recall that Bloom, spawn of famed legal eagle Gloria Allred, represented Griffin at her now-infamous press conference regarding the photo of a beheaded former TV host.  Bloom responded, saying that Kathy deviated from the script the lawyers hammered out.  “I was sorry she made that choice but I respected her right to speak as she saw fit.  She was, as she always says, then widely panned for her comments.  Now she blames me.  She’s the only client I’ve ever had who chose to extemporize at a press conference rather than read from notes we prepared in advance.”  Bloom ended her statement with this, “I still believe that Kathy Griffin is one of the funniest comics alive, that she meant no ill will with the photo, and I wish her the best.”  And she’s welcomed back anytime.

Kathy then revealed that Bloom attempted to cajole her into a joint media tour.  While Bloom presented the TV offers as insistent on having the attorney present, the same people privately told Kathy they’d be happy to have her alone.  “If you want my Lisa Bloom statement, anybody, OK, here it is.  Yes, I got ‘Bloomed’.  Yes, I did not have a good experience with her.  I felt that she and her husband exacerbated my personal situation.  The horrible press conference was a disaster.  I’m not gonna sue Lisa Bloom.  I don’t think Lisa Bloom should be shot, like people want to shoot me.  So there’s my fucking statement.”
