Incredible. My iPhone just rang and I picked up and it’s Woz. He goes, “This is Steve Wozniak. You think I’m a fat lazy billionaire who cuts the line at Apple stores and hasn’t done anything serious with my life since 1982, and I think you’re a shit stain on the underpants of journalism. So can we talk?” He goes on to say that he’s been very upset about some of the articles he’s seen written about him and Kathy Griffin, particularly some of the articles where Kathy Griffin claims she never slept with him. Woz says he’d like to address that rumor and he would like me to tell his side of the story but he’ll only do it if everything he tells me is off the record. So what the hell. I agree. Now, obviously I cannot tell you what Woz said to me, but let me just say that there may be reason to believe that some claims made by Kathy Griffin regarding her level of intimacy with Woz may have been not entirely accurate, or perhaps only partially accurate, or it may depend on how you define “sleeping together” or “having sex,” and according to a source who I believe is reliable and who is very, very, very familiar with Woz and his personal life, the couple may or may not have spent overnights together in the same bed, and there was some level of intimacy beyond what Kathy Griffin has led people to believe.
That’s all I can say at this time except that I called Woz to ask him about this stuff and he said, “How dare you fucking call me! What the hell is this? The National Enquirer? Valleywag? You filthy scumbag journalist! This is my private life we’re talking about! No comment! Do you hear me? No comment! God, you make me sick! Where do you get the nerve to ask me about stuff like this?”
Can we move on to another story? Bleh.
