Kathy Griffin addressed an unfounded conspiracy theory spread by “nut jobs” that she flew to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein‘s private Caribbean island, Little St. James.
Epstein’s private jet, which was used to transport guests to the island, was derisively called the “Lolita Express” by certain media outlets following allegations that it was used to fly underage girls to some of the late financier’s properties.
Following Epstein’s death by apparent suicide in jail in 2019, lists have been shared on social media purporting to show the high-profile people who had visited the island, which is located east of Puerto Rico in the British Virgin Islands.
In recent years, Griffin’s name has been erroneously added to the mix of Epstein’s guests by a faction of social media users who have falsely targeted a number of celebrities as part of an apparent campaign to link them to Epstein’s crimes.
Last week, Griffin addressed the persistent claims on TikTok, after a person on the platform wrote on one of her posts: “You proud of visiting Epstein island sicko.”
Sharing a video of herself looking exasperated, the comedian repeatedly shook her head as she pointed to the comment and said: “You guys, seriously?”
“YOU GUYSSSSS? Ok, I guess I just gotta #laugh #Ridiculous,” the comedian captioned the seconds-long clip.
