"As a mother, a wife, and a human being, that photo is very disturbing. When you consider some of the atrocities happening in the world today, a photo opportunity like this is simply wrong and makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it."
she deserves every bit of flack she gets as a result of posting the picture. I swear, the hollywood elites look for ways to out do each other, never realizing how much they are stepping over any line of decency normally respected by the general public.
LOL she now is saying the Trump family is bullying her.
Oh waaa! She thinks that she shouldn't have any consequences for being a jerk and now since no one is praising her for being brave, she is being bullied. I guess she considered Melania calling her out bullying.
She's giving a press conference at 11:00 CST to beg forgiveness...
I was just going to post this. She lost her Squatty potty endorsement, at least 5 venues have cancelled her shows. She should join Hillary on her Allibi Book Tour and blame everyone else for her failings too.

begin sarcasm "But she's the victim here, someone made her hold that bloody, severed head and took the photos" end sarcasm.
And she had to nerve to blame the photographer, saying he was going to be run out of the country. He didn't force her to do that. She's just apologizing because of all negative press and money she's losing.
I watched part of it. The press made her lawyer look like an idiot.
A reporter quoted a "joke" Kathy made about Barron Trump in one of her shows. Her lawyer looked at him like he was crazy and said, "She NEVER said that". The reporter pressed on and Kathy said that she did indeed say it. The lawyer said, "well, that was YEARS ago". Reporter said, "Nope, it was a couple of weeks ago". She then lost it and said that she wasn't going to be baited. CLASSIC!!!!!!!

Kathy Griffin broke down in tears during a news conference the comedian and her lawyers held Friday to discuss the fallout from the comedian posing with a likeness of President Donald Trump’s severed head.
Griffin addressed the backlash that followed the photo being published on Tuesday, telling reporters her career is over after she says the Trump family systematically "mobilized their armies" against her.
"I'm going to be honest," she said through tears. "He broke me, he broke me, he broke me."
This is the first time Griffin has spoken out since she was relieved of her duties Wednesday as CNN’s New Year’s Eve host. When asked by a reporter if she has heard from her New Year’s Eve co-host Anderson Cooper, she shook her head while holding back tears.
"It's hurtful to me," Griffin said. "There's a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me and I'm just here to say that it's wrong."
Griffin, 56, said she stands by the apology she issued hours after the photo first broke Tuesday saying she "feel[s] horrible" people took the photo as a threat of violence. She said she plans to continue to make fun of the president as is her First Amendment right, her lawyer, civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom reiterated at Friday’s press conference.
"I made a horrible, horrible call," she said. "Trust me, if I could redo the whole thing I'd have a blow up doll and no ketchup."
She also repeated her claim that the video was a parody, meant as a pointed comeback to Trump's remark last summer that journalist Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of wherever."
The comedian confirmed she has been contacted by the Secret Service and said she fears being arrested.
The outcry against the comedian continues to grow with at least four venues announcing that they had canceled her performances. Venues in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania have canceled shows. The Community Arts Theater in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, posted on its website that the show had been dropped "due to the recent controversy surrounding Kathy Griffin and the concern for the safety and security of our patrons and staff."
Trump did NOTHING to that woman. She did it herself. And she didn't "criticize" the president. She beheaded him in effigy like ISIS does to Christians.
Idiot.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
She said and her lawyer said that type of humor is part of her comedy routine and that patrons are warned that her comedy is for the 18+ crowd. Ok I get that if you are going to a show. But what she did was not part of a show. she has the liberal routine down pat. Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!
