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.

...and by the way, your photographer didn't "take down" anything from the internet. What happens on the internet, stays on the internet.
Pretty smart.
now we’re supposed to jump in and tell her no no, you’re wrong, no no, you can come back.
she’s counting on conning us.
Cuz flyover country is packed with church-going idiots slobbering fools, OH SURE.
To me if she ends up on anything except the Kramer Express, I wont be satisfied.
Me and the mother freep killed her Carmel performance and I’m bursting with pride.
if a year or two or three passes I’ll do exactly the same thing.
Trump should sue her for IIEED (Intentional (or reckless) Infliction of Extreme Emotional Distress) of a Third-Party Relative (Barron).
> I’m stunned that somehow she is said to be a victim, when she instigated this whole event in the first place. <
I’m stunned that it took her so long to claim to be a victim.
If you don’t want to receive death threats, don’t make implied death threats against someone else, especially the president of the United States. It shouldn’t be that hard to understand.
Yup. It’s about time these leftist hypocrites learn that actions have consequences. I hope she ends up homeless, selling herself to fund her meth addiction.
Do you realize that Lisa Bloom , her lawyer , is Gloria Alred’s daughter ?
1. She broke herself by being a moron.
2. Her career went on a lot longer than it should have. But America has been very, very good to her, heaven knows why. She has a net worth of around $20 million.
3. She shouldn’t have to worry about not working but, if she is, liquor stores are usually hiring.
Maybe she can get a gig opening for the Dixie Chicks...................
Trump didn’t break you, twatface. You threaten Trump, cause pain and anguish to his son, and you blame Trump! You are nothing but a shriveled-up turkey-neck.
Your career isn’t over. You can make porn videos for ISIS.
Don’t worry, Kathy, there’s a street corner in Compton that you can stake out.
And to top it off her mother isn’t speaking to her.
This reminds me of an Andy Kaufman stunt, but he was actually funny!
Aw, what a shame....
You’re kidding, aren’t you?
Good, that skanky beatch, should be thrown in prison with a Rosie O’Donnell look alike prison mate.
She broke herself. Cryin’ over consequences of your own actions is good if you NEVER do it again. Which she won’t since she is not funny and lost her job. We’ll see how much she learned besides blaming someone else for what she did. True democrat.

She has 20 million in the bank, she will survive.
Another embarrassing pity party, second only to Hillary.
BTW, any high ranking Democrats disavow Griffin yet? Hillary, Obama, Pelosi or Schumer?
> She blamed Trump, she blamed ageism, she blamed sexism, she blamed white guys, she blamed death threats...but never blamed Kathy Griffin. <
Maybe she can get a job as speechwriter for Hillary Clinton.
