“Yeah, we’re still friends,” Anderson, 50, said during Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday, July 25. “Look, I said a lot. I said what I said. I didn’t think what she said was appropriate but I wish her the best and back on the road.”

Cooper replied: “She’s incredibly funny and a lot of people love her and I think she will bounce back from this.”

“For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in,” Cooper tweeted at the time. “It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.” In June, he added to USA Today: “She and I have been friends for a long time and I want nothing but good things for her.”

Griffin, meanwhile, held a press conference with her attorney Lisa Bloom on June 2. “A sitting president of the United States and his grown children and the first lady are, I feel personally, trying to ruin my life forever. You guys know him. He’s never going to stop,” she said. “I don’t think I will have a career after this. I think, I’m going to be honest, he broke me,” she said. The comedian was also reportedly questioned by Secret Service for over an hour amid the backlash.
