Jessica Zajicek (pictured), who is Kathy Griffin’s first assistant and author of the Team Griffin blog for Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, has quit her job. Perez Hilton reported this morning that Jessica quit earlier this month, and he hinted that her reasons for doing so weren’t the most positive. He quotes an ‘insider’ who says, “Jessica had just had enough of Kathy. She put up with her for several years. She couldn’t take it anymore.”
As much as I love Kathy’s show and think she’s hilarious, I don’t doubt that her antics could probably get kind of old if you had to experience them instead of just watch them on TV. Still, I’m surprised to hear that Jessica would leave a job that allowed her to get drunk with her boss on national television.
What does this hold for Team Griffin? As the show’s not currently filming, it’s unclear whether Jessica’s leaving will be covered on the show or not. Will Princess Tiffany become the new first assistant? Will someone replace Jessica, giving Kathy the chance to have her own P.Diddy style “search for an assistant” reality show? The possibilities are endless.
Hacing met Kathy Griffin and dealt with her unique brand of bullshit I don’t know why anyone would work for her in the first place. It’s no shocker the girl quit. I just hope she stole something or broke some shit on her way out.
Perhaps a Jessica reality show?
Hey, Kathy… In case your reading this, I want Jessica’s old job. I could never imagine why you didn’t have a gay assistant anyway. Not only can we take it, but we can dish it out.
Contact me!

“her unique brand of bullshit” - we enjoy her funny.
Kathy was in Dallas (Grand Prairie) on Saturday. She randomly brought up Jessica during her routine. Kathy said “Jessica is in Tennessee with a new guy, she’s on vacation.” Kathy said, “Jessica sent a text asking if she had been fired from her job.”
Way before Scott, I was thinking…I’ve worked for really extreme people as an assistant. When “The Devil Wears Prada” came out, I thought, “Holy shit, that’s patty cakes compared to what I’ve been through.”
Of course, when “Mommie Dearest” came out I wondered what that little bitch Christina was belly aching about. At least she was abused in the lap of luxury and not some middle class split-level ranch in Wisconsin. Suck it up bitch.
Anyway, my resume is available for Ms. Griffin upon request.

i think its a totally stunt- it got both of them on perez
No- I want Jessica’s job-I was the best assistant ever!! ask my old boss..I am currently the program director of a top 40 radio station in Reno, NV. You would love me as your assisitant. I cant wait for the interview!!
She’s an idiot…
this is one of kathy ways to get in the paper and the magazines i love it she is so smart but tiffany can step up to the plate and they can have a search for an assistant of an assistant
I think Perez Hilton is a full of shit wanna be. It’s hard at times to work for anyone. I am sure that Kathy is a pain in the ass at times, but who’s not. I think Perez is bitter cause from the looks of it Kathy doesn’t like his chubby ass.
