Kathy Griffin Cries, Apologizes For Trump Photo Controversy, Says 'He Broke Me'

"I just want to make people laugh, that's all I want to do, so I screwed up", she said.

Later in the interview the 56-year-old said that her career was likely over now as a result of this incident, and that President Trump had "broke" her.

Following the photos release, Griffin says she has lost a number of comedy jobs. Mr Trump had described Ms Kelly after she moderated a presidential debate as having "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of wherever". "She captioned it, 'There was blood coming out of his wherever.' It was a parody of Trump's own sexist remarks taken to an extreme, absurdist visual". Griffin was scheduled to perform in her "Celebrity Run-In" tour at the theaters in November. "I'm going to be honest".

Ever since she was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service about the matter, Griffin has retained a lawyer as her defense.

"If you don't stand up, you get run over".

In a press conference held earlier today, a visibly emotional Griffin explained how she believes the Trumps are trying to sabotage her. "The death threats I am getting are constant and they are detailed and they are serious and they are specific". Since the photo made its rounds online, President Trump, his wife, Melania, and his son Donald Jr. have all slammed the star.

Saturday Night Live star turned senator Al Franken also withdrew an invite to Griffin for an event promoting his new book, Giant Of The Senate. "I made a frightful mistake and made a disgusting call".

It's the latest fallout after the comedian posed with a likeness of President Donald Trump's severed head.

Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself.

Her appearance at the Bloom firm was the first since Tuesday, when she issued a video apology for the images that she acknowledged went "too far".

Griffin could only manage to silently shake her head no when asked if she had spoken to Cooper since CNN this week fired her from her long-running gig co-hosting New Year's Eve coverage with him.

Warning: The offending image appears at the end of this story and in the video.

Kathy Griffin has faced controversies before for her abrasive humor, but none as widespread as the one generated by Tuesday's images.
