COUPLE WEIGHS IN ON THEIR DRAMA … TOGETHER?
|| By FITSNEWS || Just when we thought we’d seen everything from the scandal enveloping former S.C. “Republican” party official Todd Kincannon, along comes the very last thing we expected – a joint statement issued by Kincannon and his wife, Ashely Griffith.
At first we thought we were dealing with some sort of April Fools’ Day joke … but then we checked the calendar and today is April 2.
Oh, and then we received messages from both Kincannon and Griffith attesting to the veracity of the statement. So … it’s legit.
Kincannon is the self-described “honey badger of American politics,” an unapologetic, wildly inappropriate social media firebrand who has enraged the far left with his deliberately provocative pronouncements.
So … why are he and his wife making a joint statement?
Well, for those of you waking up from a weeklong nap, this happened. Then this. And then this.
Drama, drama, drama …
So … what do they have to say for themselves?
Here goes …
We appreciate the interest and concern created by last week’s incident – and we understand the attention this matter has generated in the local and national media. Our marriage is obviously not perfect, and as a result we are – individually and jointly – receiving counseling in an effort to make the best decisions moving forward. As part of that process, we both agree it is in our shared interest to remain separate from one another for the foreseeable future.
Whatever happens with our personal relationship – we wish each other no ill will professionally, and hope to support each other’s careers into the future.
We are grateful for the prompt, professional and courteous efforts of the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department in responding to last week’s incident, however we wish to make it clear we will not be voluntarily participating in any further inquiries regarding this matter – nor will we be testifying in any court proceedings related to this matter.
Furthermore, we will we have no further comment to the media regarding what we believe to be a private matter and a closed case – one warranting no further press attention or expenditure of taxpayer resources.
We are thankful for the kindnesses shown by friends and family members during this period of separation and counseling. And we are thankful to God for providing us with such strong support networks as we seek to determine the next chapter in our lives.
Hmmmm ….
Yeah … we’re gonna just have to let that sit for a moment and collect our thoughts.
Our first reaction? This is sure as hell a lot more entertaining than Southern Charm. Or that Iranian nuke deal.

Crazy train circling the wagons.
Funny how so-called hands-off Liberal-Tarians, like FITS like to keep their noses in everybody’s else’s bedroom…
I thought y’all just wanted to be left along…live and let live…
Liars Much?
There was no bedroom stuff in any of it. Closest to that was a leg grab.
Now see if you can grab yourself a clue. Somewhere. Anywhere.
Stay out of peoples personal lives…you nosey, pervert CREEPS…
Nah, too busy watching the news on the deal with Iran. Remember that one? I’m sure you do. Come on, come over and comment.
I thought it was all due to the cough medicine.
Not a surprise. Liberals ALWAYS try to find something, or someone else, to blame.
GT confuses leaving everyone alone, with the fact one persons rights begins where another ends. He thinks leaving people alone, means they are allowed to beat the hell out of us (regardless of who us is).
I don’t in any way relish in their suffering, but I still have to say: Enough with the”no marriage is perfect” canard. How does saying that help your argument? It’s like a cold blooded murderer issuing a statement saying “nobody is perfect”.
Why ” collect ones thoughts?”
Call it what it is…
See my moniker
Hooray!
+10 !!!
I guess the release of the recording achieved a goal–he seems know now that he is utterly defeated, he holds no cards, and will lay off the threats to kill her and her family. And that he is facing felony charges if he issues further threats. Well played Ashley. Now don’t look back. As he pulled a stunt with getting no marriage license, they still portrayed themselves as a married couple in having a wedding, calling each other husband and wife, maintaining a joint residence, and amply demonstrating intent, enough for a court to give her half of what they accumulated during their marriage. He is not as smart as he claims to be if he didn’t know this.
Probably half of nothing though….
Well BB maybe I underestimated you, but in this case. I concur. Don’t Look Back In Anger…
Come join in the battle over the Iranian no-deal deal.
You know BB, I have been out of politics for a while – so, I am not on the up and up with common jargon (no-deal deal). I am assuming you are opposed to Iran having nuclear weapons? If so, I agree.
Absolutely, and it appears everyone has left anyway, worn out from the whole thing. But tomorrow is another day…
Tomorrow it is ;)
I’m not an insider, I just know an insider, so this is second hand and take it for what you will. My “source” indicates that Ashely just wants out and to have a normal life. She’s not looking for alimony or anything. My own opinion is, she was smart in 2 respects, 1) she gathered evidence that would make sure he capitulated when she left… and 2) she never became “accustomed” to the lifestyle his family money (not his failed law firm money) could’ve afforded her. If you followed her on twitter and instagram, her favorite restaurant is Bojangles for goodness sakes, and she still drives the same car she did in college. Anyway, she didn’t trap herself with desire for his money, and she made sure she had hard evidence to use as leverage. That, my dears, is the template for getting out of a marriage with an egomaniac. She should write a book and make a buck or two off this slob that way.
She was just “getting her ducks in a row.”. Many others under the same circumstances don’t have the foresight, knowledge, or stamina to do so when they realize their S.O. is extremely troubled and their life is about to implode. Kudos to her.
Wonder who really wrote that “joint” statement? Sounds like a narcissist’s attempt at image management and a co-dependent’s acquiescence.
Bingo!
Regardless, they are entitled to their privacy, assuming they can keep their mouths shut and stop releasing stuff to the media.
Even this feeble attempt at spin control won’t erase 48 HOURS of Todd Kincannon, raw and uncensored. Or erase the damage he’s done to his personal and professional life.
I know he plays on outrageous comments to draw attention, many I have laughed at, which I now regret. He is good sport with differing opinions. However, that recording is stuck in my mind. He will never be someone I respect in any regard.
I know medicine can have an effect, I only recently started taking advil v. doctor prescribed Celebrex. I do admit I have a bit of a pill phobia, but don’t fault those who use, as long as they are not hurting someone else.
In this case, based on recordings, his own comments, many other commenters on the page. I have no sympathy. No desire to wreck his life, he just needs to leave and do the right thing. Stop the threats. Stop the violence. Just do what is right. It’s really simple. Maybe years down the road I will think differently, if, he is man enough to do those things.
If it was a political stunt, it was poorly played.
They’re separated, sounds like.
I hope you are right, with mutual agreement.
Maybe they’ll try to live like normal, decent people now.
Hay Day is more interesting. Hope she has a statement prepared in advance for after he kills her and her family.
Foibles and indiscretions of political operatives don’t really interest me much. Too much inside baseball.
Don’t tell Todd Kincannon who to LOVE…Where have I heard THAT before…LMAO….
I thought you all call anybody who tries to control the personal lives of others: BIGOTS….
Hypocrites much????
Good Lord, do you people not have lives of your own? What a bunch of voyeuristic assclowns.
Dear Idon’thavealifevoyeuristicassclown
Now we know why you are commenting on this blog
bless your heart
jimlewis,owb
I’m commenting on the fact that any of you who read these posts on the private lives of people are assclowns. If they don’t come often enough for you, you can always go back to your People or National Enquirer.
This is more fun because we get FEEDBACK….
MUCH more – can share and learn a lot too!
“…we wish each other no ill will professionally…”
Translation:
Todd, personally I hope you get syphilis, your brain turns into mush and your pecker falls off, Ashley
Ashley, personally I hope you get the clap, your tits dry up to resemble tobacco pouches and your yaya becomes so tight you will have to use WD40 to take a whiz, Todd
LOL – that is more likely the truth. After the video release that she is “going to pay” other comments were made and she likely is afraid. Maybe he has something on her? Good grief!
I wouldn’t let TK screw me with someone else’s special parts.
Please give Julius an extra squeeze before going to bed tonight…
Ha!
I only had one of those (orange julius) in CT, unfortunately they didn’t know what pop is, and so I got popcorn. Moved to the South and they don’t know what pop is either – so I got a coke :>)
I’m pleased you got the connection (Tangerine) + (Orange). I was listening to a polka album while tooling around town today and one of the songs is about being “just an old-fashioned drunk” now matter where you are – it was a play on different towns and states where you might be in a bar or a saloon or a taproom, etc.
I like Tangerine the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyM4vxxu2jA
Hey FITS…IRAN ACCUSES WHITE HOUSE OF LYING ABOUT NUKE DEAL…
Is RonPaul crapping himself…about now?
Didn’t you and Dr. Paul tell us to TRUST Iran…they’d never do anything bad…Just like you told us about ISIS..and The Muslim Brotherhood???…
I’m not too worried about snoopin’ underwear drawers…with this going on..and an idiot US president getting played (or is he?) like the dope he is…
What is her profession? I tried a Google search and only hit a bunch of lawsuits where she was the plaintiff.
Google Ashely Griffith Public Index
To those down at the Courthouse she is known professionally as Ms. Litigious
To those she sues she is known professionally as Ms. Bitch
To those lawyers who represent the peoples she sues she is known professionally as, Hot Damn she has filed another lawsuit, my Jaguar is coming home to daddy
So she is a professional claimant? Sounds lovely.
Looks like Ms. Litigious will have to find a new line of work.
She’s the claimant on most (all?) of TKs “I’m going to sue someone” lawsuits.
I thought she was an early interventionist working with autistic children…not sure if thats still the case.
Honey badger don’t care. Honey badger don’t give a shit.
Do these people think that vast majority of people in this state know who they are…or care?
If you don’t know who TK is then you have slept through the sludge of SC politics.
Why does that foto remind me of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker?
This really belongs over in the Dueling Liberties post, but I wanted you to explain it.

A man enters a bakery and says “I want to order a KKK cake.”
The proprietor refuses and is sued. The proprietor loses the suit based on discrimination. Explain why he lost.
The customer may have been a stutterer..??
Good
While doing research for a blog on sign language, nothing
handy came up, at least nothing I could put my finger on.
You didn’t read between the lines?
Before I found this site, at one time I was somewhat of a dedicated copy editor. Unfortunately, when I saw typos I became [sic].
Hmmm….over my head. If I were to fill in the blank, out of context, I would say suspicious.
sick!
LOL – that was too easy, I made it hard :)
Mel Tillis went fishing with his new agent Herman Dooda
Unfortunately Mr. Dooda fell out of the boat and drowned
Mel tried to get someone else to go tell the wife who was staying in a local hotel. Mel was afraid that he would not be able to get the words out
Finally Mel made his way to the Hotel, knocked on the door and when the Lady answered the door he began to sing
Guess who drowned in the lake today, doo da, doo da
Thanks, that is from the best seller,
“THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST JOKES”,
by Theophilus Punoval
The bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say:
“Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses dey come
together. I come again. Two asses, dey come together again. I come again and pee twice. Den I come one-a
more.”
“You foul-mouthed people,” the lady yelled. “In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!”
“Hey, coola-downa lady,” said the man. “Imma justa teachin’ my fren’ howa to spella Mississippi.”
True Story:
Stationed in DC going to foreign language school, a buddy and I boarded a bus going downtown. We sat behind two elderly women, one of whom was babbling excitedly to the other. My buddy suddenly realized they were speaking Russian, which is his language class. He
is listening and starts to shake trying to hold back his laugher. His eyes water and his face is red. He’s elbowing me but I don’t know what is going on. He busts out laughing and the women turn around and stare at us. He says in Russian, something like, “Excuse me, but I don’t know the girl so don’t worry!” The two women looked at each other and they busted out laughing. The one tells us, “I was telling my friend about the girl in the tv show and who she was having sex with today. My friend was working today and she missed it.”
Ok, I don’t “quite” get that one, but here is something from a female perspective. I experience this today. I was the minority, and it is all in good fun – I love these ladies (no kidding), but this is how it work at a nail salon – though I could add more to it….LOL:

Anjelah is hilarious. Bon Qui Qui is my favorite!
You are mean BB….LOLOL. I have heard Bon Qui Qui before, but had to look for her. She is funny!
My favorite is: Sarcasm Because Killing Is Illegal. They have some really funny stuff. I should post some of it. I also like Saturday Morning Breakfast Club, but not many get it. It’s a personal thing I guess.
He thought she was talking about a real girl…
<—— dying laughing!
Memo for Diary: — another reason to be grateful I was born a male!
You do have a daughter? I have a memory like an elephant in size.
One day, she will tell you the funny stories of going to nail/hair salons. It is truly in good fun – I love them!
My best friend is Japanese, my husband made the comment a number of times that when I talk to her, I speak like her (he is afraid I might offend?). I notice, I do talk like her when speaking to her! We’ve been friends for some 17 years. We understand each other and make the effort to clarify when unsure.
All above realize the value of capitalism. Just listen to suggestive selling. I had no idea half of what I bought today, but hey were nice (no kidding) :)
3 daughters/ and for a while I had a girlfriend who was a beautician with her own shop, and she would treat me to facials, hand treatments, haircuts – she would give me the works…
Morbid, but funny!

Oh, Yeah — I opened it without thinking, and I was preparing for sleep — now I have to find something else to get that image out of my mind……
Out of boredom I googled his dick pics. Too bad there are no nudes of the wife.
dear goodness, you were bored…lol
Better be careful…the Homosexual Gestapo will accuse you of discrimination, hate, and bigotry…w/ an arrest not far behind…
Voice any Sentiment that does not exalt gays – and meet their lobby’s approval…and you could go to jail in Obama’s America…Sadly, that’s where we’re headed…
It seems that they have just read the new best seller,
“STOP ARGUING” , by Xavier Breath.
I wonder how many people even know where the term “honey badger” comes from? Oh, he is fearless and badass. This video is hilarious and likely where Todd gets his “honey badger” tagline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg
Now I really won’t be able to sleep tonight..!! (but it is interesting and funny)
LOL – that is a video I watched a long time ago and thought hilarious due to narration, not due to appreciation for the Honey Badger.
Honey badger don’t care. Honey badger don’t give a shit. It just takes what it wants!
“we wish each other no ill will professionally, and hope to support each other’s careers into the future.” That is one of the strangest statements to put in a statement about one’s marriage.
Does anyone know what Ashley does for a living? We already know that Todd practices law and trolls Twitter. Just interested in knowing why the above statement would need to be said.
It’s fairly obvious where she works if you are friends with her on FB, but I won’t share it here. It’s a job she appears to have just started this year. I assume getting a “real” job was one of the checklist items on her escape plan. Todd had no idea the young trophy wife he conned into a fake marriage was actually going to be his intellectual superior.
I thought she was just a professional plaintiff as all the other comments have suggested. It is highly possible that Todd forced her into being a professional plaintiff. I wouldn’t be surprised. If that were the case, I would feel bad for her.
I think that was the case until recently. Apparently, she decided to stop being his tool and live her own life.
Horrible jobs report. 126k jobs create instead of the expected 245k. Unemployment rate remains at 5.5%.
I studiously followed the statistics of unemployment and job growth for years. At the end of the day, someone is always fudging the numbers. Seems it always has to do with political season.
I have found it is easier to look around me, much like the housing bubble, to predict growth/bubbles/decline.
Not a lot of jobs available. Sure a lot of part-time, but not a lot of full time. No matter where I look in SC, the same. Some counties have fared better than others, but we are in no way making any fast growth in employment overall.
We all have the ability to know how our state is doing in any area of growth, simply by looking outside every once in a while. Listening to other people. Making independent judgment calls, that do not rely on data that can be massaged.
Don’t get me wrong, I look at that data too, but I bounce it from other sources and personal experience to make a best guess.
Jason Amodio is a douche
How did I know God would be mentioned?
He’s always there? ;)
OMG, he looks like a young Jimmy Metts.
