MIAMI, FLORIDA: Kathy Griffin is expressing her support for Sophie Turner during the challenging period of her divorce from Joe Jonas.
The 62-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Saturday, September 23, to post a clip from her stand-up comedy routine in 2009, where she humorously criticized the Jonas Brothers. Alongside the video, Griffin added the hashtag ‘#TeamSophie’.
In the video, Griffin humorously poked fun at the boy band trio saying, “embarrassing.” She further claimed, “I don’t buy these three kids as sex symbols.”
Why did Joe Jonas file for divorce?
As per People, Joe Jonas initiated the divorce process from Sophie Turner in early September, submitting a legal filing that asserted "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.”
Even since the couple’s split, Griffin didn't hold back in her humorous critique, also taking aim at the Jonas Brothers' "purity rings," which they had once pledged to wear before marriage, suggesting they were "fake" and "complete bulls–t.”
The ‘Suddenly Susan’ star didn't spare Joe Jonas either, recalling his breakup with Taylor Swift.
Griffin playfully described Swift as "unbelievably tall" and compared her to a "beautiful 'Seventeen' cover model" with "long, flowing blond hair."
How long did Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas date?
Taylor Swift dated Joe Jonas for three months in 2008.
Joe famously ended his brief relationship with Swift via a 25-second phone call in 2008. Swift later used this brutal breakup as inspiration for several songs on her album ‘Fearless’, including ‘Forever & Always’, ‘Last Kiss’, ‘Better Than Revenge’, and ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine’.
In the video, Griffin expressed her incredulity at Joe Jonas' decision, wondering aloud, "Where the f–k does he get off dumping beautiful Taylor Swift?"
She added a note over the video, emphasizing the prescience of her 2009 comments, stating, "All I can say is this is from 2009, and I was right."
