The 56-year-old comedian dropped by The Project on Tuesday night, where she ripped pretty much everyone a metaphorical new one.

The polarising Hollywood kicked things off by giving her two cents on the Harvey Weinsten sexual assault investigation.

Coming out swinging, Kathy, in the video above, condemned Matt Damon and George Clooney, who both denied ever knowing about Harvey’s disgraceful and criminal past.

“Really? No. I don’t think so – I can’t imagine those guys didn’t know,” Kathy said to Carrie Bickmore, when asked if she believed the Tinseltown duo’s views on the matter.

“I knew, and I’m not even in the movie business.”

The actors had appeared on Good Morning America, where they labelled the producer as a “bully” and “womaniser” but had no idea it amounted to abuse.

Kathy, 56, shared her experience with the media mogul.

“One time Weinstein was sitting next to me and – I’m not hot enough to sexually assault – just know that’s his mindset.”

Adding, “I remember him bragging about his wife who worked for House of Balenciaga, and he said: ‘Maybe my wife could dress you sometime’ for the Emmys or something like that.”

“I remember wondering if that was one of the ways he would ensnare some young actresses.”

Kathy sure created quite a stir on the news program.

Staying true to her no bullsh– approach, Kathy made it clear that Harvey isn’t the only man in Hollywood who is abusing their power.

“The white middle-aged guys who are truly running every network and studio in the United States all behave this way and everyone covers for them.”

But the comedian used her time with Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore and Pete Helliar to take aim at her biggest enemy – The President of United States, Donald Trump.

Describing him as “the accidental President”, Kathy admitted, “I’m scared of that guy!”

She went on to say there’s a “Nazi in the Oval Office.”

“I was under a two-month Federal investigation for taking a picture of a mask.”

“I’m excommunicated from my own country doing a world tour.”

In May,Kathy decided to respond to Donald Trump’s Presidency by posing in a very confronting photo shoot, in which she held his bloodied, decapitated head.

The photo cost Kathy her job and her reputation.

Kathy and Sam won’t be mates anytime soon, with the comedian saying, “She has been doing interviews where she said that she thinks I’m unwell. She feels that my answer, when I told her she was full of crap, made me quote ‘unwell’ which makes me feel bad, because I heard she has scurvy.”

She may have originally apologised for the image, but there’s no mincing Kathy’s thoughts on President Trump.

“I am going to call him a moron and Nazi … Americans are skittish about calling him a Nazi but he is one,” she told the panel.

“There’s a Nazi in the Oval Office.”

“He’s a big liar and everybody should get rid of him soon, not violently. Vote him out.”

In May, the 56-year-old decided to respond to Donald Trump’s Presidency by posing in a very confronting photo shoot, in which she holds his bloodied, decapitated head. The photo cost Kathy her job and her reputation.

She went on to claim that Donald and his sons “came after (her) super hard.”

“They go on television saying, ‘We don’t want to hurt Kathy Griffin’s career, we want to decimate her,’” she said.

“These Trump folks self-identify as deplorables. They’re psychos. They’re nuts. I’m here to apologise. I’m sorry we have put this guy on everybody else’s lap.”

“I don’t know what’s happening in my own country.”

In light of all this, we’d say Kathy’s practically nice to Sam Armytage!
