Kathy Griffin confessed her true feelings about her former 'difficult boss' Andy Cohen after he revealed they had exchanged emails 'for the first time in eight years.''And so he wrote me this long email at 10 at night and half of it was sort of nice,' the 64-year-old comedian recalled during her stand-up show at The Grove of Anaheim Saturday.'I think he vetted it with lawyers actually. It read like...he knows I'm going to eventually read it on stage. He knows. He's gotta know that. He didn't really apologize, but he kind of did a "sorry, not sorry." The tenor was sort of civil.'Griffin admitted she doesn't 'really need to be in anymore beefs' and acknowledged that the 57-year-old Real Housewives producer 'is a powerful guy.''I wish I were back at Bravo,' the two-time Emmy winner said.'It was a fun place to work and it was a great place to do specials and all that stuff.

No, he was asking me to do cocaine with him.'That made me very uncomfortable. It was the two of us in a room Michael Davies was nowhere to be found. No one was there from Bravo. And that's why I don't do that show. I thought that was weird and I don't know why he gets away with that.' Griffin continued: 'Like, I don't actually want to have a beef, but that did hurt.
