(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.

She issued the classic liberal non-apology apology where she basically said she was sorry that people were disturbed by her actions.
She never apologized to President Trum who was the object of her attack, or to his family for any distress she caused.
As soon as she made her phony apology she doubled down and went right back on the attack.
.
Career? She actually thinks she had a career?
She’s nothing but a low-rent opportunist who thinks she’s funny.
MEMO TO GRIFFITH: what you think is totally irrelevant.
The most important thing is what we think.....and we think you stink.
The Secret Service protects the President from crazies like her
Socialist, Drunk & Stupid is no way to be going through Life, Miss Kathy!
A pox on her.
Ut, oh....that sounds an awful lot like a pitch to a book publisher.
You Are 110% RIGHT! It Is The Same! Thanks For Pointing That Out!
Would that require Barron testify though? Or would Melania’s testimony about his distress be enough?
OMG....call the men in the white coats....this crack-brained idiot is delusional. She belongs in a padded cell.
I wonder who signs the checks for all her gigs.
Dunno but I would think Melania’s testimony would be enough. Possibly Barron’s authenticated written testimony. I doubt Trump would let Barron near any courtroom on this, and I don’t think it would be necessary especially given the extreme and outrageous behavior of Griffin. Extreme and outrageous behavior is usually the main element in proving IIEED.
Yes, stupid witch rolled her eyes AT LEAST TWICE that I saw, like a child who is being forced to apologize for fighting with a sibling.
Hope people flood her social media with copies of the comment made in December 2016 of her targeting BarRON.
Melania really should sue her in behalf of Barron
The dumb shriveled-turkey-neck twat is responsible for the loss of her career. She and her attorney should be sitting on a sidewalk begging for quarters.
She didn’t play the victim card. She played the entire deck.
Well, now the shoe is on the other foot, and they suddenly want tolerance, and respect for diverse points of view.
No kathy. Our president did not break you. I did. When i found your venues and those employing you.
When i sat in my dark living room that night emailing them.
Appalled and Horrified was I when i saw a bloody decapitated head of our President.
The one that 60 plus million people fought to get elected. Literally. We put our lives on hold for a year battling people like you.
Your side put our folks in the hospital. Spit on them. Burned their cars and buildings.
Its because of you i am still fighting. Still on FB.
I want my life back but because of you and your ilk... I can’t. Not yet
Great post!!!
Kathy should team up with Hillary and take their excuse tour on the road.
How’s that saying go again?
“Do stupid things, win stupid prizes?”
No, she’s so ugly the doctor’s slapped her mother instead for having her.
