Comedian Kathy Griffin says her career is over after gory Trump photo

Comedian Kathy Griffin tearfully apologized in a Friday press conference for posing with a fake bloodied and severed head depicting U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that she felt her career was now over and that Trump "broke" her.

Griffin has lost sponsorships and jobs, including her role as co-host of CNN's New Year's Eve coverage with journalist Anderson Cooper, since a photograph and video from the shoot appeared on social media on Tuesday.

President Trump said the image of Griffin with the gory mask resembling him was "sick" and that it had traumatized his family, especially his youngest son, 11-year-old Barron. Trump's oldest son, Donald Jr., called for employers to drop the comedian.

“I don’t think I will have a career after this. I’m going to be honest, (Trump) broke me,” said Griffin, 56, a two-time Emmy-winning performer known for her deliberately provocative brand of humor. She added that she had received death threats.

Notice how even with this, the media tries to word it as if Trump is to blame. Trump “broke” her. He did no such thing. The witch should have known there would be blowback and if she can’t handle that, it’s on her - nobody else.

Can you imagine if Paula Deen had said black people ruined her career and it was now over?

Hey, maybe her and CarrotTop could team up as a comedy duo on a senior citizen cruise ship.

Maybe she should have taken a picture of herself with a suicide bomb vest instead. Would have been just as funny (not) and more appropriate given the consequences.

Well Kathy.....stupid is as stupid does.

Hope for you that you put your money into good investments. Not heroin and wax doll heads.

What ‘career’?...................


Actually, the career she has now, as a result of all this publicity. Watch for the next round of “I can top that” in TDS-World. There are sure to be others climbing ever higher mountains of fashionable leftist insanity.

TRUMP broke her?? Stupid twit did it to herself, but it’s Trump fault.

This smells like it was intentional all along.

You did something incredibly nasty and uncalled-for, and then when your target said something in response, you became the victim.

I still think she's going to come out way in the black on this.

If nothing else, she'll be a hit on the college comedy circuit.

TRUMP DIDN’T do anything.

Personal responsibility. That and being a leftist go together like oil and water.

I heard clips from her debacle of a press conference on the radio.

She blamed Trump, she blamed ageism, she blamed sexism, she blamed white guys, she blamed death threats...

but never blamed Kathy Griffin. She’s flat-out nuts.

It astounds me these liberal scum are crying within 72 hours of doing wrong. I guess she thought 24 hours was enough. What a jerk. Ignore her.
