Kathy Griffin and other fading D-list celebrities hosted a ‘salon’ for transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, which ended up being a desperate publicity stunt to stay relevant.
Griffin and Mulvaney clamored about the event in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the video, they describe the salon as an event without phones or side conversations.
“We had to ask permission to go to the bathroom,” Mulvaney added.
The two explained that all those attending were to “honor” Mulvaney.

“The guest list also included Sia, Rosie O’Donnell, Margaret Cho, and Taylor Lorenz,” Fox News reported.
Griffin’s career took a nose dive after her infamous photo depicting her holding a horrifying effigy of President Donald Trump’s bloodied severed head.
After catching the attention of the Secret Service and the media, Griffin’s “unfunny” stunt was to be her undoing.
Griffin “lost work immediately. Federal officials threatened to charge her with conspiracy to assassinate the president,” NPR reported.
“I couldn’t fly for two months,” the comedian said.
Unlike Kathy Griffin, Dylan Mulvaney, however, ruined the Bud Light brand after partnering with Anheuser Busch InBev.
The massive consumer backlash cost the beer brand its place as America’s top-selling beer, with a 31.2 percent drop in sales and company layoffs.
Griffin and Mulvaney, apparently starved of attention, decided to team up for an afternoon, exchanging vapid, insincere compliments.
Their event didn’t go down well on social media:
“I can smell the desperation,” one person remarked.

One expressed relief that she missed the event, saying, “I’d rather get a root canal without Novocain.”
Lorenz gushed on Instagram, “Had so much fun hanging with some of the most beautiful and brave women on the planet,” she wrote, according to Fox News. “Thank you, @kathygriffin, for having us over and for taking so many COVID precautions so we could all hang out safely.”
“Honestly, one of my favorite days ever,” Mulvaney said, gushing up the attention.
