Kathy Griffin says Ed Sheeran should have responded to New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft after Macklemore is barred from performing at Gillette Stadium over comments described by outlets as related to “Free Palestine.” Griffin’s remarks, reported by multiple outlets, urge that Sheeran should have objected more directly to Kraft.
Both sources connect the controversy to Macklemore’s removal from planned tour stops, framing it as a reaction to public statements and resulting venue decisions. While the outlets focus on Griffin’s view and her suggestion that Sheeran confront Kraft, they differ primarily in wording and emphasis. One outlet characterizes Griffin’s comments as criticism of Sheeran’s approach, while another presents the same core claim that Griffin believes Sheeran should have told Kraft to “back off.” Neither outlet reports new independent details about Macklemore’s original statements beyond the broad description tied to “Free Palestine.”
