CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was a guest on comedienne Kathy Griffin‘s Bravo talk show. Cooper revealed that as he was flying to LA for the show, he had an incident on the plane. Another passenger tried to snap a surreptitious pic of him, and Cooper felt the need to respond.

“I have lately become emboldened, and I grabbed the guy on the shoulder and said something to the effect of, ‘bitch, what the… are you doing??’ It was one of those things where as soon as I said it I said ‘I can’t believe I just said that.’”
