Kathy Griffin claimed<\/a> in an Instagram post on Tuesday that she had been banned from “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon for being inappropriate and controversial.<\/p>\n

“I have not done the Jimmy Fallon show since it was on at 12:30 Eastern and Pacific, so I guess I\u2019m banned from the Fallon show, or inappropriate, or too controversial,” Griffin said<\/a> in the video posted to Instagram. “I don\u2019t even know. When you\u2019re banned from a show \u2014 and if you guys know me, I\u2019m banned from most of them. You\u2019re welcome, America and Indonesia \u2014 they don\u2019t usually tell you you\u2019re banned. They just can\u2019t seem to find room for you.”<\/p>\n

In 2017, Griffin drew bipartisan backlash after posting an image of herself holding a Halloween mask covered in ketchup that appeared to resemble the severed head of President Donald Trump<\/a>. In addition to facing condemnation, Griffin was investigated by the Secret Service<\/a> over whether the image constituted a threat against the president.<\/p>\n

She said she liked Fallon, but then slammed him for having Conor McGregor on in her Instagram tirade.<\/p>\n

“I think the Fallon folks made a mistake by having Conor McGregor on,” Griffin said. “I think it sends yet another message to women and marginalized folks everywhere that we\u2019re not equal and you can do anything to us and the perpetrators are still going to be out there being glorified.”<\/p>\n

Griffin said it reminded her of when Fallon had Trump on the show<\/a> and it didn’t sit well with her.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s time we kind of make up our minds about who we\u2019re going to cancel and who we\u2019re not,” she added. “Take it from the most canceled celebrity<\/a> in history, look it up. As the kids say, do better.”<\/p>\n

A source with knowledge on the matter told Fox News Digital that there is no ban on Griffin.<\/p>\n

Griffin recently addressed an old photo she had taken with Trump, who she regularly criticizes now.<\/p>\n

She clarified that an old image of her and Trump sitting amicably next to each other at an event was, in fact, “not an AI photo.”<\/p>\n

At the start of a video posted<\/a> to her YouTube channel in early June, Griffin claimed that several people had been sending her a picture of her with Trump, whom she described as “someone I used to know, but now I don\u2019t care to know any longer.”<\/p>\n

Griffin confirmed that the photo was real, adding that she previously had a friendly relationship with Trump.<\/p>\n

“I know. Can you f—ing believe it?” Griffin exclaimed. “There was a time I knew Donald as someone who would show up at the opening of an envelope, and I would sit next to him sometimes, and he\u2019d laugh at my jokes. I\u2019m not glorifying him in his last, final days in any way. I want to show you that is not an AI photo, and that’s why I got the dress out, which I still fit into, by the way, because that picture’s got to be 20 years old.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
