Griffin, 62, appeared to be in violation of a company policy against impersonation.

Kathy Griffin was the latest casualty in Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover as the comedian’s account was suspended Sunday.

“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” he wrote Sunday night. Musk is launching an $8 monthly subscription service where any Twitter user may be able to easily attain a blue checkmark symbol.

She used to be funny. She must have figured jumping on the TDS/wokie bandwagon would be a good career move. Guess again.

Good 🤣

Kathy Griffin is a criminal.

This woman needs a friend. She is lonely and desperate for attention.

And it’s awesome! 🤣

Good!

See was suspended for pretending to be another (verified) user. Considering how angry journos were at the prospect of anybody becoming verified, we thought you'd be thrilled!

'In bold move, Twitter enforces an old and long standing rule against impersonation.' 🙄

She is a jerk, but as a life-long conservative, I do not think she should be suspended.

People upset by this should review the rules and regulations (hint: that have always been there). One of my favorite accounts keeps getting booted for impersonating ESPN 😆

Elon got his feelings hurt… I thought he bringing back comedy and no censorship… puzzy

She had an account?

It's always been a violation to impersonate someone. It's one of the options in the reporting tool. Always has been. She just effed around and found out.

Good keep her off. She’s looney! Well, I don’t poison my brain with her tweets anyhow.

She should have been suspended after the bloody trump head

I was misled to believe that Elon is voting blue because of Kathy Griffin’s tweet. Too bad!

She was...beheaded...bwhahahahahaha!

Kathy griffin what a joke .

Free speech he says

Not quite right. She was banned for making comments while trying to pass herself off as Musk. You can impersonate Musk all you want. You just have to make sure that people are aware it's not actually Musk.

Needs to. As an Independent the standards are not the same. More people are getting kick out of the Democratic side than are coming in. If this was a Independent or Conservative it would be another Jan 6th or hate speech. The standards are not the same.

Stealing someone’s identity isn’t freedom of speech. Do you want someone to steal your identity & call it freedom of speech?

She’ll pay the 8$ she’s thirsty.

She is using her dead mom's account now. TipItMaggieG

She knew the rules. She didn’t follow them. She paid the price. She is no better then the rest of us.

She needs to be permanently banned

MikeNew19512115 Ooooeeer

I haven't listened to her act since she made Elizabeth Taylor cry.

She thought she was slick, she FAFO

Very gooooooood!!!!

I wonder why others have been able to get away with it? I hope it was because THEY were funny🤣🤣🤣

Good

She claims her career has never been bigger now....poor woman needs help.

That’s right

This is suppose to be No Nut November, but I just came!

Oh how the tables are turning, and wokery be brokery real soon. Yeah new word for them to scream at🤣

oh yea, what happen to free speech?

And so it begins…

She should have been cancelled a long time ago for impersonating a comedian.

They’re trying to make a mockery of him, after Valerie Bertonnelli did it. Sets a bad precedent. Lesson learned.

Greg Giraldo gave the best description of Cathy, saying she 'looks like Ronald McDonald's f***ed Lucille Ball's corpse and shoved it down a flight of stairs'

She should have got banned a long time ago. Last time I checked comedians were supposed to be funny? Guess she thought she was

SO GREAT ! 🤣😂

Rightfully so

That fair

She deserves it. She’s 🗑️.

Twitter is hiring KYRIE IRVING and Kanye West.

The blue check is intended to verify that you are who you say you are. Clearly there is something wrong if you can use a different name next to that blue check.

She's been impersonating a human being for decades.

The left and Democrats are having a taste of their own medicine 😅😅😅

Good. That nasty woman needs to be gone

She now uses her dead Mother's Twitter. She's a lowlife.

It wad bad enough she impersonated a comedian.

The lesson was learned quickly, guess free speech only applies to real people. If you're a bot or imaginary person, you don't get free speech

Good..

That’s correct. Don’t cross the boss!!

Griffin is a pile of trash

No. KG was suspended for impersonating a comedian. This was on Seinfeld 25 years ago. Newly converted Jewish dentist told J-jokes that wouldn't be acceptable if told by non-J. But Jerry didn't like the neophyte incroaching on his profession. Cosmo called Jerry an 'Anti-Dentite.'

Good

Welp, so much for the “free speech” platform

I guess that means don't mess with Musk?

I'm Satan not impersonating anyone

Who?

Lol. Too baddddd.

plenty of comedians do impersonations. Comedy is 'legal now' isn't it elon? Or is it only so when it doesn't hurt your delicate feelings?

No he suspended her for not including ‘parody’ in her header. A simple task that Kathi refused to follow. Live the BAN!!!

Yeah we know. We are on twitter. The real news.

Twitter must be the only way she can get her name out there to the public. She can't be getting much, if any, work anymore. She had carved out a nice little niche for her career, but her TDS overwhelmed her brain.

I don’t care. I love it!

Nobody is above the law ..

AND I'M FINE WITH THAT😊👍 TwitterTakeover TwitterImpersonators TwitterVerifiedAccounts elonmusk

Bravo Elon Musk.

They should just suspend her for impersonating a comedian.

Bruto feo lárgate de mi vida pídele matrimonio a tus frogs eres feo tacaño no money solo usas a las mujeres como trapos socios igual que deja de jaquearme mis teléfono lárgate de mi vida tengo asco me repugna el solo ver tu foto y si te veo vomitó horrible hombre eres feo para mi

Suspend everyone forever

Twitter has suspended many people for impersonating others. Nothing new

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He is stupid cheap men he is cheap chite lie cheater oh nothing to believe in this guy is horrendous dirty men out

Now she’s trolling on her dead moms account. Elon should make a policy about that next so when a user dies their account is disabled from creating new tweets.

Isn't that the b*tch who joked about beheading Donald Trump?

You can't argue with terms and conditions doesn't matter who you are.

Is this not the lady that made an expensive joke with the dummy decapitated head of a sitting president? What is disturbing is people think she is funny. 🤔

Good

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So much for 'free speech', right elonmusk ?

This is the funniest thing she’s ever been a part of

Lol this means we can’t against stupid owners or what

Typical case of finding out.

Twitter rules in ragards of impersonation hasn't changed a bit since before the takeover.

She should be booked in identity theft

Musk said it was for impersonating a comedian

Those who THINK they are liberal (wokies) have nothing to do but accusing others of being racist and pedophiles and haters,, no class

🤣

And nothing of value was lost.

DronePremier

¡Muy bien! Esperemos que pague sus 8 dólares.

Correction; For impersonation. It didn’t state anywhere that it was to do with who was being impersonated.

Is this what ‘free speech’ looks like at Twitter, now?

I assumed she was suspended since she hasn’t been relevant since circa 1993

And apparently this is the “free speech” guy

She will be on literally every liberal talk show this week. She lives on this kind of publicity. She has no talent. She depends on this stuff to boost her career.

Sooooo good. Yay

No. for impersonating a comedian

Should have been banned the second she held a bloody head of our President

This leftwing loser got suspended too 😂

👏👏👏👏

I don’t see what’s wrong with having to identify yourself as a parody if you’re impersonating someone else. Wouldn’t that help combat ‘disinformation’?

twitter should suspend elon musk for impersonating someone who knows what the fuck they’re doing.

And she then got onto her mom's account after the suspension . O ..yea her mom is dead ... or so I'm hearing. Twitter is the place to be tho

How else would she get her name in the news? I thought she was retired.

Comedy is dead. Twitter is communist now

And the same people supporting this are the same people who were outraged when trump was suspended and eventually kicked of twitter! The hypocrisy of the right!

Kathy Griffin finally makes people laugh

Edit your headline: Elon Musk suspends XYZ's account for impersonating Elon Musk

When a grown woman acts out in rebellion like a teenager and gets banned for it 🤣🤣🤣

Lovely

Sucks to suck

And h3h3producitons who can never do anything original in the political sphere.

This never funny non actress needs mental health treatment

If you can't beat her intelligently , suspend her ! Elon

Who is Kathy Griffin?

Such a terrible woman. Hopefully,she has learnt her lesson.

Savage. So awesome. Karma.

Smh
