Anderson Cooper says he's 'still friends' with Kathy Griffin, hopes she 'bounces back'

We found out in June that Anderson Cooper wanted "nothing but good things" for his ex-New Year's Eve co-host Kathy Griffin — but now he reveals they are "still friends."

The CNN anchor talked about his friendship with Griffin on Tuesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

"Look, I said what I said," Cooper explained. "I didn't think what she said was appropriate, but I wish her the best, and I hope she bounces back."

The anchor added that he thinks Griffin is "incredibly funny and a lot of people love her."

CNN fired Griffin from hosting the channel's New Year's Eve show after she posted a photo holding a mock "decapitated" head of President Trump.
