Kathy Griffin sat next to Harvey Weinstein once, but she’s not his type according to the comedian.
“I’m not hot enough for him to sexually assault — that’s his mind set,” Griffin joked of the Hollywood executive who’s facing dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault, news.com.au reports.
So many women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct that it’s getting hard to keep count. Yet it took them years to build up the courage to do so and took Griffin just a matter of weeks to joke about. (RELATED: Kathy Griffin Becomes Unhinged Over Trump AGAIN)

“I remember him saying to me, bragging about the wife who worked for a clothing company, ‘Maybe my wife could dress you some time for the Emmys’ . . . I remember thinking: ‘I wonder if one of the ways he got young actors.'”
Griffin addressed the Weinstein allegations after the initial reports came out saying he “seems to be what’s called a rapist” and said “it’s time we started to f**king look out for each other because this sh*t has been going on for way too long.”
On Tuesday Griffin said sexual assault is “an epidemic” in Hollywood, suggesting that Weinstein is far from the only one, and said other “network and studio heads have to go down.”
“But the white middle-aged guys and older guys who are running every network and studio in the United States they all behave this way. And everyone covers for them.”
