"Larry David dumped me": Kathy Griffin speaks out against "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator and star following the series finale

When Curb Your Enthusiasm premiered in 2000, Kathy Griffin was also a part of the first episode. The sitcom concluded earlier this month, and the actress addressed creator Larry David in her latest interview with The Enquirer.

"Larry David dumped me. Not in a fun, charming way. He's really not a pleasant person. He plays a version of himself on that show that he thinks he is."

Kathy Griffin said that Larry's behavior was a result of a photoshoot in 2017, where she clicked a few pictures featuring a bloody head of Donald Trump. The photos were captured by photographer Tyler Shields, and Kathy later posted a tweet, saying that she was wrong.

"I understand how it offends people. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career."

Notably, David remained a significant part of the series for all 12 seasons.

The HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, ended on April 7, 2024, and Kathy Griffin addressed the same while speaking to The Enquirer. When asked about her thoughts on the show ending, Griffin stated that she "couldn't care less" until the platform chooses a woman similar to Larry "with an open checkbook."

"I couldn't care less," Griffin said. "I couldn't care less because until they give a woman who looks like Larry, of Larry's age, that opportunity on HBO ... with an open checkbook and says, 'You can run this however you want. You can get the team you want. You can do anything you want, and you still get to look like that and be that age,' then I'll get off my high horse."

She ended by saying,

"But right now, I'm too busy being bitter."

While the Suddenly Susan star also claimed in the interview that creator Larry David "dumped" her, the actor and producer is yet to respond. The representatives for Warner Bros. Discovery were also not available to comment on the actress' statements.

Kathy Griffin made a cameo appearance in the first episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, titled The Pants Tent. The episode aired on October 15, 2000, where Larry's pants led to a misunderstanding between him, Cheryl, and a friend named Robin Ruzan.

It is followed by an argument with a stranger inside the theater, leading to further trouble. Larry speaks to Jeff on call, referring to Cheryl as "Hitler," though he tries to hide the same from Cheryl, his attempts are unsuccessful.
