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.

It’s no big deal, Kathy. You were aging out of your career anyway.

I’m stunned that somehow she is said to be a victim, when she instigated this whole event in the first place.

She instigated a disgusting display, but when the backlash occurs, then somehow she is the victim of attacks by Trump???

She stirred up that hornets nest but she’s the victim????

Who cares? She gets what she deserves. She is a child-abusing wretch.

I wonder if Kathy Griffin would think it’s funny if some comedian did a skit where the implication was that Kathy Griffin was getting gang raped?

Trump didn’t “break” you, you egotistical fool...You broke yourself and hopefully ended what little career you had...

Get yourself a shopping cart and become a street person, you stupid twit.....
