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.

Self-inflicted, I’d say.

Notice she said she didn’t intend to hurt anybody, like Barron. Libs love that no intention routine. Hillary didn’t intend to have her emails exposed either. She got away with the no intention I guess this doofus thinks that’s a good excuse too.

"She sucked all the way back when she was on Seinfeld."

Yes, I remember that. I thought that here's a woman who really doesn't like herself, who has a huge inferiority complex, and compensates by being obnoxious to others.

What about those that worked on the props and filmed and produced it? And what about those that create and promote the climate where this seemed to them a good idea? I in inclined to have more sympathy for her since she has shown contrition than all these others.

If you think about it, blaming others for your own failures drives everything Democrats think and do. KG should blame Hillary for losing the blame game before she could even get to the plate.

Correct. Hornets are prevented by the logic of the universe from stinging liberals.

Trump broke her? Did he steal the 20 million of her supposed net worth? I suppose she expects us to feel sorry for her.

Never thought she was funny and now she is obviously pathetic.

In dog years.

Griffin should have taken Biblical counsel into consideration before acting:

"Be not righteous overmuch, neither be thou overwise;
for why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
Be thou not over wicked, neither be thou foolish;
for why shouldest thou die before thy time?"

(Ecclesiastes 7:16,17 AV)

And all this before a national--nay, world-wide--audience.

She keeps on saying that Trump broke her, when it was her foolish behavior in trying to break Trump's reputation that came back on her.

Be advised, the rest of you detractors, out there . . .

Like bad booze, it all comes back on you.
