A gorgeous Hawaii wedding, an A-list guest list, and one very awkward confrontation. Billy Bush is telling his side of a tense run-in with author Amy Griffin at jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer’s wedding in Lanai, and he brought receipts of the verbal kind. On his“Hot Mics”show, Bush claimed Griffin was“obsessed with me”from the moment he arrived, told other guests not to talk to him, and only approached after Demi Moore encouraged her to do it. According to Bush, she stumbled, spilled her purse, and told him,“You don’t know me.”
Bush says he deflected, telling her,“I don’t think this is the time nor the place to have this discussion,”and offered to talk another time, on or off the record. The messiest alleged detail: Bush claims Griffin later asked his girlfriend how she could be with someone“abusing”her. He also said he spoke with Griffin’s husband, John, for about an hour the next day. Griffin hasn’t responded publicly, and a rep for her was reached for comment, so the story is still one-sided for now.
The backstory involves Bush’s investigative work into the legal saga surrounding Griffin’s 2025 memoir,“The Tell,”which gives this feud plenty of fuel. But whether a wedding is ever the right place to hash things out is a debate for everyone else. So what do you think: should personal beefs stay off the guest list, off the podcast, or both? Drop your take in the comments.
