(CNN) Kathy Griffin is fighting back against the abuse and "death threats" she has received in light of controversial images released earlier this week that showed the comedian holding up a bloody head resembling that of President Donald Trump.
In a news conference on Friday, Griffin's attorney Lisa Bloom accused Trump and his family of "using their power to target her."
"If you don't stand up, you get run over," Griffin said. "What's happening to me has never happened in this great country. A sitting president of the U.S. ... is personally trying to ruin my life forever."
Bloom said the comedian was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service and said she has retained a criminal lawyer.
"As a result of the first family bullying her, she has been vilified, getting death threats, fired from multiple jobs and had multiple events canceled," Bloom said.
Bloom is a victim's rights attorney who is best known for representing high-profile clients, including former Fox News contributor Wendy Walsh, who accused the network's former host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment.(snip)
Griffin and Bloom believe the comedian has received harsher backlash because she is female.
"This is a woman thing," Griffin said.
Although Griffin tearfully apologized again during her press conference, she said that she will continue to use Trump as fodder for her comedic material.
"I'm going to make fun of him more now," she said.

Ms. Griffin is no victim, she is a perp.
(And, one still believes that she has chosen through her irresponsible actions a permanent place on the no-fly list.)
Mr. Ed was unavailable for comment.
Great observation. Same as the episode she was on, 20+ years ago.
The President Trump family must have a personal cadre of attorneys at their call. I hope they sue this so-called comic until she leaves the country destitute and mentally infirm. What she did was inexcusable.
Yo, Kathy:
You terrified the President’s son. When the eleven-year old got more sympathy than you, you are jealous and angry.
God help your soul, you have no clue how immature and narcissistic you are.
Ordinarily, only abut 95% of all personal woe is self-induced.
But in the instance of Kathy, ALL 100% of her grief and consternation is of endogenous variety.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton mental syndrome is strong in that one. Not matter what, it is always somebody else’s fault.
She really hasn’t learned anything yet. She is trying to victimize Trump again, this time with a lawyer instead of a camera. Despicable.
It has everything to do with what she did, and it doesn’t matter if she is a woman. Has any man done something like this? She is getting a life lesson about the invisible hand (aka, we the people).
Dear Kathy,
1) Free speech does not grant freedom from consequences.
2) You ruined your own life by your own action.
3) It’s not a woman thing. It’s a disrespectful poor taste thing.
I have no words.......too mad to type what I really think.
That’s hilarious, because it looked to me like she was trying to ruin his life by removing his head from his body.
Unless anything does happen to President Trump. In which case she'll be executed.
The “apology” is as fake as her accusations
She’s the whitest of trash. And that’s being kind
As in the case of the non-existent Russian election tampering, please point to a SINGLE INSTANCE of the Trump family doing anything to this stinking sewage-eating b*tch.
They shoot Horses, don’t they?
If Griffin was in the original Godfather Movie, her head would have been in the Movie Producer’s Bed.
Kathy, the President is a BILLIONAIRE. If he wanted to ruin your life you would already be fighting with Rufus over the best sleeping spot under the bridge.
