Calling her "the white Precious," Griffin said Palin was "the only contestant in the history of 'Dancing with the Stars' to gain weight on the show.
In response, Palin issued a statement on Monday slamming Griffin for the comment.
"The audience's reaction to this 'comedian' spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too," Palin told Fox News. "I hope people didn't have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms."
According to PopEater's Rob Shuter, VH1 producers considered removing Griffin's joke from the broadcast, which was taped on Friday night.
"There was talk at VH1 about editing out the joke and the reaction to it but in the end we decided to leave it in," a network source told Shuter. "It made the event feel live and Kathy is a big girl. It's not the first time one of her jokes have failed."
Look I might also cringe a little at Griffin's joke, but THAT kind of take "no prisoners" type of humor is what she is famous for. Besides surely Sarah realized that by sending Bristol out onto a nationally televised stage, while she continued to grow larger (with child) every week, she was going to draw some fairly nasty attention. I mean that's pretty obvious right?
Perhaps Kathy's joke did not go over as well as she had hoped, but we do have to admit her observation was dead on.
Just check out these pictures that our friend Curiouser put together for us of Bristol during week six of the competition combined with pictures of her in the same outfit on week ten of the competition. You tell me what you see, and if you think it can be explained by too many Ho-Ho's and fast food. (Week six is on the left and week ten on the right.)
If Margaret Cho is telling the truth, and you all know where I side on that, then Sarah Palin may be one of the worst mother's/human beings on the planet!
