Kathy Griffin’s Prankster Antics Target Sharon Stone and Will Smith

Kathy Griffin, the comedian known for her sharp wit and playful mischief, has turned her prankster energy toward close friend Sharon Stone. Griffin revealed to Us Weekly that she adds Stone to random group texts with strangers, sparking hilarious backlash. “I’m friends with Sharon, and one of my favorite pranks is adding her to text chains with people she’ll never meet,” Griffin said. Stone’s response? Fury-laced messages like, “I’m going to f**king kill you. Stop adding my number!”

The bit began as revenge for canceled dinner plans. During a November 2024 Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance, Griffin explained, “Every time Sharon blows me off, I add her to a new chain.” Kimmel roared with laughter as she shared details: Stone’s real number is dropped into chaotic 17-person threads. “She’s on four now,” Griffin admitted. When Kimmel joked about stealing the idea, she warned, “It’s her actual digits—not her assistant’s!”

Griffin’s Decades-Long Tension with Will Smith

Griffin also reignited her feud with Will Smith, recalling their awkward 1990 encounter on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. On her Talk Your Head Off podcast, she claimed Smith—then a rising star—ignored her until filming began. “He didn’t speak to me all week,” she said, noting the pressure he faced as the show’s lead. On shoot day, Smith finally broke the ice, asking her to call him “Will” instead of “Fresh Prince.” Though he later warmed up, Griffin hinted at lingering tension.

Years later, Griffin criticized Smith’s 2022 Oscars slap, joking on social media, “Joan [Rivers] and I walked so Chris [Rock] and Will could run… my jaw still hurts.” The jab underscored her knack for blending humor with pointed commentary—even if it means ruffling Hollywood feathers.

From text-chain trolling to decades-old grudges, Griffin proves no target—friend or foe—is safe from her signature brand of chaos.
