Lesbian Couple Says Eddie Griffin Thrusted His Hips in Woman’s Face
Fiona Walsh, the woman who threw her drink at Eddie Griffin during a show two weeks ago, claims it was an act of self defence, after she “felt sexually assaulted” by his crotch thrusts into her face during a routine.
Walsh claims Griffin singled her and her partner out during a routine at Tommy T’s comedy club in Pleasanton, CA. According to TMZ, she claims the comedian pointed at her and said, “You’re a LESBIAN. All you need is a good man…I’ll volunteer my services. You won’t be needing any strap-on’s or vibrators with me [TMZ’s emphasis].”
“He started to pump his hips into my face,” Walsh continued. “I felt sexually assaulted and I wanted him to stop—then I threw the drink at him to defend myself.”
She then says that Griffin lost control. “He jumped off the stage and onto my table. He started grabbing everything”—including a set of salt and pepper shakers—“and throwing it at me…Before I could get away from him he poured a water bottle on my head and threw it at me.”
Walsh is seeking an apology from the comic “for the public humiliation and emotional distress,” her lawyer explained to the entertainment site. “There will be a lawsuit if he doesn’t make amends.” For his part, Griffin decided last week to release his own rather vulgar defense on his Facebook page last Monday:
“These TMZ b*****s said I assaulted a “WOMAN” at my show in cali. I don’t know what kind of eyes these m***a f**kas got but that d**e b***h threw a glass of whatever she was drinkin’ in my face. All over a joke about d**e b*****s! [Griffin’s emphasis]”
The Malcolm & Eddie star also threatened to sue the site for defamation.
i dont support violence…also i dont support Gay’s. In this culture the Gay flaunt their position at every turn..I am offended when they push their sexuality onto society. It was like a dude against a dude…Dont be a women when its convenient, and a dude when u wanna be GAY… I dont appreciate it infront my children, or mix wit em… This is anti social behavior….keep it outa my face…You cant make me like it… so i support Eddie…I think he funny.
Nelda,
I respect your right to “not support violence or gay rights”. My questions for you is exactly what was reported that the couple did to “flaunt” their sexuality. They were out for the evening like everyone else. Are you suggesting they must remain in the closet and not attend public events? Seriously? Really?
1) She or he had no business at Eddie Griffin’s show … he is an equal opportunity offender just like any other comedian and if you go there, you go expecting to be offended one way or the other.
2) It sounds like she/he went there to stir up trouble because if you don’t like the hip thrusts, you get up and walk out; you don’t assault, and throwing a drink on him during a routine is an assault, regardless. He was doing his comic routine like he always does, so the answer is not an attack, but a walk-out. After that, Eddie had every right to throw a drink back at her.
3) You don’t go to a comedy routine, esp. one as risque as Eddie Griffin, and expect NOT to be sexually harassed, esp. if you sit close to the stage; it’s part of his act and it’s how he makes his living, for those who think he is funny. To me, he’s just not funny enough to pay money to see.
Reneegede:
I agree 100% with you. Comedians will go after anyone! She is the one who assaulted him. She should have just walked out. All of a sudden, she’s offended? I have seen Eddie Griffin live and he DOES get on everyone. It might not have been right or funny what he did, but he never put his hands on her. Words are just that. If you put your hands on someone, be prepared for the fallout. He should have brought charges against her. I bet if he called her a “pretty” d**e, she would not have been insulted.
I don’t have anything against anyone loving anyone (as long as it is not animals and children). But if you put yourself out there, you will be picked on at a comedy show.
Thank u 4 beating me 2 the punch here. U r so rite.
Folkz know how Eddie reacts 2 gay ppl , so she/he asked 4 trouble. If u frequent comedy spotz u do not sit directly n front & u do not move frm yo seat during a performance because comedianz single u out during their performancez.
There was a time when minorities were treated like gays…I don’t support the lifestyle but history has a way of repeating itself!
Gays and minorities are one thing; black people are another. “Gays” were never slaves in America, nor were their ancestors enslaved for being “gay,” nor were they enslaved for s****l preference period.
That’s two different things all together.
The other reason gays can’t compare themselves to racial or even ethnic minorities is because they are not. And they are certainly not “economically disenfranchised” or made to be so based on s****l preference. They are one of the monetarily richest classes of people in the USA, and they are, for the most part, universally accepted just about anywhere they go.
Gays, truth told, are usually the ones causing problems when there are conflicts. They assault people, they insult people, they lie, cheat, steal, and kill others … gay black men on the downlow are the biggest cause of divorce, hurt, pain, anguish, and even the spread and proliferation of diseases with black women.
Gay white males are just as racist as the KKK themselves. They are hardly what anyone should refer to as a “protected class,” because right behind white heterosexual men, gay males are considered the most “desired” and highly paid of their type and mixed up gender in this country, and especially in Europe, where they originated in Greek and Roman cultures.
You get the “BIG LIE” in your spot-on analysis of the LGBT agenda that is innudating this country at the moment. I wish everyone would look at this issue with a critical eye and not blindly accept everything coming from this community.
What a shrewd and crafty bunch and they have managed to engender sympathy and compassion as “the ultimate victims” and are rarely held culpable for the social and cultural chaos and the diseases and health issues that so many gay/bi men have brought to the general population.
It is always the heterosexuals’ fault even if they get caught s******g some man in a public park while the naive, unsuspecting wife is at home at night caring for a newborn, a toddler and a preschooler. They say if they would just be allowed to “be themselves” and “be normal” they would not act on these self-destructive impulses that affect the emotional and physical health of people all across this nation.
But, what does the mainstream media do? Give them a pass and make them out to be the victims in every case. It is always the big, bad, heterosexuals’ fault that some choose to screw any man with a willing posterior, and sometimes they will dabble in a v****a or two.
Now that the LGBTs have received the official blessings from the White House to the School House and in between, they are flexing like an over-developed body builder and there is no sustained, organized coalition to counter these folks.
If we allow this vociferous minority to continue to bully, threaten and intimidate politicians, corporations, churches and just regular folks in order to prostrate any and all opposition to world domininance, then we will deserve our fate.
Wow, that is deep and I totally agree with u 100%
AMEN!! it kills me that women want to act like a man, but when they loose they want to be a woman.. I dont belive in hitting women, but hey if a woman or man, throw something at you or hit you, then she deserves what she gets. I dont support gay nothing. so what he joked about gays, they are a joke. if she did not like the joke, she should have got up and left. She had no right to throw nothing at him. He did not hit her nor did he throw something at her.Da h**l wit her..
Do not attack a comedian by throwing anything! Some of us will heckle. I’ve learned to stay in the background to avoid being picked out by the jokers. If they are the type that pick on the audience, then almost anything stupid or silly can be expected. Sticks and stone…but no tossing stuff at the performer!
Good…..Dykes should have stayed home. People don’t want gay’s around.
Reactionary violence especially toward a minority. White supremacy at its finest. Mental illness exemplified. Barak is their tool. They could care less about black people.
Can a gay person explain to me why you don’t like blacks who promote black? Or men who promote women’s rights? How do you justify this if you are not mentally ill or evil? Democrats at that? Please somebody explain the reasoning if there is any. Isgay more important than black or feminine? If you think so you crazy as h**l. And telling me I’m crazy only makes you look crazier. Go write a scietigic article on mental illness.. then maybe you would have some credibility. You are the modern Kkk
These Gays always want to cry victim and cry Civil Rights when their a*s never been through the Civil Rights movement.She man could had just got up and left the club if she felt that she was being offended instead she decide to attack him and then cry foul because she didn’t like what being seen as a joke. And now want him to apologize because of a d**n joke, h**l No! If I was him I wouldn’t apologize to her a*s or anyone else for that matter. Its about d**n time someone stand up to these gays.They have the nerves to get mad when people don’t want nothing to do with them or support traditional marriage which I support not same s*x marriage.I, for one, won’t be intimidated or cave towards these homosexual control freaks who want everyone to bow to their command, not chance in h**l. I am a straight man and I don’t support Gays and their fake marriages and I am glad that Eddie Griffin stood up to this want to be a man lesbo. And I don’t want him to apologize to a d**n lesbo.
Now you think hard on this. If you have any decency. Love or humanity you will take this analagy and get some help cause your illness is mild now but it will get worse if you don’t change. Here it is. The colorodo shooter thinks he is the joker. You gay men think you are a woman. Any person with half a brain can tell that both are mental delusions. Please get help before you go completely insane. It is a.process that increases with practice. If you do not heed you will be a shooter one day or be found in the streets peeing on yourself.
eddie character counts you have none 100% trash
TMZ’s owner Harvey Levin is gay and goes out of his way to single out black comedians to sell the whole blacks are homophobic BS. TMZ is making this into a story where there isn’t any. I have nothing against gays and their lifestyle. But IMO white gays are no different than the straight white population and can be just as racist.
As far as Eddie Griffin goes this reminds me of the Tracy Morgan situation. Comedian Katt Williams went thought something similar with Latino hecklers wanting a apology. Many non blacks including gays pay top dollar to see these black modern day minstrel comedians calling us a n*gg*r for cheap laughs. It’s all in fun until they go off script and start spewing the same jokes/insults towards whites and gays for laughs. Then they get offended and want an apology or their money back.
There is NO s****l assault here and NO need for Griffin to apologize. IMO this woman should apologize for throwing a drink at him. If you pay to see these type of comedians you are getting what you pay for.
Right off the top, why is this “professional” article starting out with a spelling error or typo?
self-de·fense [self-di-fens, self-]
noun
1. the act of defending one’s person when physically attacked, as by countering blows or overcoming an assailant: the art of self-defense.
Really I could not get pass that. Why should I want to read anyting when the writing cannot spell check. Defence is a british word and has a few American adaptations but holds no meaning in the context it was used here. Sheesh!
sheesh
interjection
(used to express exasperation).
Origin:
euphemistic shortening or alteration of Jesus or s**t
D.C in line 5 you spelled ANYTHING incorrectly…Lesson: don’t critique anyone if you do not spell check your own words.
Linguistic police are everywhere. We need a spell checker that instantaneously corrects our misspellings. Are you up for developing that system? You could become a very rich person.
Who are these spelling control freaks
Why waste your time if you understand what was said? Can’t read past misspelled words? Have you heard of a PDA? You are the definition of trifling. Change your name to that so you can be identified. By the way its defense not de fence. Silly rabbit. Another uncle Tom of the imperfect English language. Man get a life. That made you feel good to criticize. Weakling.
Catholic’s, Gay’s, white men have one thing in common…they are all perverts, child molesters, and rapist…
It is true, the gays have all of the money…it is said that once a man obtain everything, he does not have a need for a woman anymore…I
will not expose any famous people but just take a look at some of the richest men in this country of all races and you will know…each year, more and more ex-athletes are announcing that they are under-cover gays…
No such thing as Gays rights in this world…in 1972 the medical society declared that homosexuality was not a mental illness…the reason is that 90% of white males were gay…
Woowwww!! Mostly everyone agrees on the samething; gays are GAY!
And Eddie the s**t still!! Oh Yea! This is “MY NEWSPAPER”!!!
If a d**e can take a large d***o vaginal or anally, they need to learn how to take a JOKE!
They had every right to attend the show and sit exactaly where they sat! What Eddie did was offensive and totally uncalled for, No, I am not gay but these young ladies spent there money to see Eddie Griffin and should not have been disrespected in that way! Gay people are everywhere and they are not going anywhere! They have jobs, they vote and they pay taxes! As long as they are not tongue kissing in the middle of the street, gay people don’t bother me! We need to learn tolerance people, gay people have rights too!
Loretta:
You obviously have never been to a comedy show. I’ve been the recipient of a comedian’s one liners. I accepted that because I
came to the show. And if he was still on the stage, how could he have put his crotch in her face? That’s a myth. Don’t believe the hype. So, either the story is incorrect, or he has the biggest crotch on the
planet.
Eddie Griffin should stay away from gay, black, white jokes? That makes no sense. Don’t go to his shows if you don’t like him. I don’t think that will hurt him. He has a job to do. Tolerance, Shmolerance! Everyone does have rights and Eddie Griffin has a right to make jokes. DANG! Stop it.
We all are human and should have the freedom of expression. I have the freedom to experience your expression or walk away. If his antics came as a surprise, and they did not know what was come we enter into a zone that says “will I leave, or do I want to hear” if I chose to stay and he began that behavior in my face and I asked him to stop and he did not, she should have left had he came over near my table and started acting out and then perhaps I would have thrown a drink in his face. But I would have left. I don’t appreciate that tone or choice of language and will always excuse myself from it whether in an alternative lifestyle or not.
Loretta . Gay is pre schizophrenia . Pre diabetes is treated. If you really love gay people get them in therapy or they willcontinue in this slow suicide and kill us in the process. Gay is really a suicide/ mass murder in progress. You are aiding and abetting. A friend you are not.
He could’ve made fun of anybody in there & they would’ve laughed they a***s off but they couldn’t be the joke! Iv been to countless comedy shows every since I could remember & now you can’t say f*g, you can’t say d**e, you can’t say h**o! Get the h**l outta here! Eddie do what you do Brah, they need to give them there own little emotional planet to live on with they little rainbows & get they guy a***s away from normal people. My they should fix up………Uranus!!!!!! LoL!!!!!!!.
Ok folks, I agree that the woman shouldn’t have thrown her drink at him, but is all the gay bashing really necessary? This is one woman who f’d up, let’s not condemn all gay folks for her isolated actions. Hate is a dangerous way to unite.
Some of you I will pray for because these ignorant comments are really unnecessary. You may not agree with the Gay life style (I personally do not myself) but have some respect for another human being at least. Comparing all Gay people to a molester (which could be anyone FYI) is just ignorant! Newsflash there are straight men and women who have molested children too!
Sasha,
You are absolutely right when you stated that straight people molest children, too. We’d have to live in complete isolation in this country to not be aware of that fact.
Even if a man is “living straight” and married to a woman for (30) years and has been exclusively molested young boys into their teens, gays will lose their minds if it is suggested that the perpetrator has same s*x attraction. They argue that a pedophile is a pedophile and it does not matter what s*x he is attracted to.
Well, I beg to differ because he is only molesting his s*x and he has a gay or same-s*x attraction even if his victims are not adults. They are outraged because they do not want pedophilia linked to homosexuality, so they get excluded on that, as well, by the “experts” and the mainstream media.
I watch many of the broadcast and cable news channels daily and rarely (if ever) do I a see a “gay story” not wrapped in compassion and understanding. They will totally destroy a straight man who has an affair with a young woman or rapes a woman but glosses over that fact, if the the perpetrator is gay.
In one recent story, a high school principal in the Washington DC area was murdered by several young men he met online for s*x. They were invited to his house and they robbed and murdered him.
The media “gently” used his murder as a cautionary tale and warned people of the dangers of meeting strangers online. When a reporter tried to look at the issue from another angle, his family and other reporters reprimanded him to not blame the victim in this case. While I agree that his murder was tragic, he should not have been trolling on line for young men barely out of their teens. But, the powerful LGBT lobby would have gone ballistic and caustically condemn the media if they remotely pointed to the man’s irresponsible behavior and terrible example he set as a principal to young impressionable teens at his school,
I am willing to bet that if the man was heterosexual in this case, he would have received a scathing rebuke for trolling on the net to meet and have s*x with impressionable young ladies. The media seems to be quite biased against heterosexuals (particularly men) in these kinds of situations because it is “safer” and they can avoid the wrath of the LGBTs and their advocates.
