Free market .

quote:

Several shows on Kathy Griffin’s Celebrity Run-In Tour have been canceled after the release of a photo depicting the comedienne holding up a fake decapitated head of President Donald Trump. Many venues around the country are now cutting ties with Griffin over the controversy.


quote:

Despite her apology, five shows on Griffin’s comedy tour have been scrapped by the venues slated to hold them, and it’s possible more cancellations will follow. The comedienne’s two scheduled shows in California on June 16 and October 13 have been axed, as has a planned July 22 show at Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque. The St. George Theater in Staten Island then removed Griffin’s November 2 show from its schedule, while the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ has canceled her scheduled performance on November 3.

Literally dozens of people will now be left to find new plans.

She and her attorney have a press conference scheduled to talk about how she is being bullied.

Was hoping the GOP would pounce on it even more but maybe they are taking the high road.

Will Buzzfeed call Griffin's sponsors and inquire about why they would stay with such a demon? Nope.

What's really ridiculous is that they booked her in the first place. Before I would book Kathy Griffin for entertainment, I'd just hand out slinky's, hula hoops, Rubik's Cubes & coloring books & tell folks to knock themselves out.

Freedom of speech and free market. She deserves anything like this that she gets.

If the 'tour' was going well with sold out shows, they wouldn't be canceled. This is probably just a good excuse for promoters.

Surprised her California shows would get cancelled. I would think she would have no problem booking shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

She can make all the statements she wants. I don't think there's anything she can say which will undo the damage.

I do not believe for a second that she is sorry for the photo. She is sorry for the reactions to the photo. If you read her apology, she's pretty clear about seeing the responses. Saying "I get it" is pretty lame, too.

Yep. Free speech means she shouldn't go to jail for her stupidity. It doesn't protect her from losing jobs and money because of it. This is exactly the way the free market should work.
