UPDATE: Kathy Griffin has apologized for the gory image she created with photographer Tyler Shields depicting her holding a facsimile of Donald Trump's decapitated head. "I sincerely apologize," she said in a video posted to social media. "I am just now seeing the reaction of these images. … I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn't funny. I get it."

EARLIER: Photographer Tyler Shields doesn't want to explain what he's trying to say in his latest, and very arresting, photo, which features comedian Kathy Griffin holding a replica of President Donald Trump's bloodied, decapitated head in her hand.

On Tuesday, the gory and shocking image debuted and instantly drew quite a bit of outrage. The president's son Donald Trump Jr. called it "disgusting" in a tweet and others on the social media platform have slammed the graphic photo as "wrong" and "pure evil." However, this isn't anything Shields and Griffin didn't expect, the photographer—who is known for making provocative pictures like this—tells EW.

Shortly after the picture started circulating, EW hopped on the phone for a quick conversation with Shields about the new photo.

AND NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS HOLDING THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR LETTING THOSE DEMOCRAT THREATS ON TV

The MEDIA deserves blame for this, as much as the democrat party and the shooter himself.

It would be 24/7 media coverage if a republican had said those things about democrats, and something like this happened

” It wasn’t funny. I get it”

That’s what you said Cathy.

Looking at the picture though it doesn’t look like you were trying to be funny, Cathy. Are you lying to me right now?

They are still onboard.

Hopefully Americans wake up to what we are facing.

Old news. I remember Kathy quickly reversed her fauxpology, and from then on defended her stunt.
No doubt, she’s opening champagne right now.

Of course, they did. This is what they wanted. They went out of their way to make the head, set up the shot and publishing it far and wide. Shut up, Kathy and go away. No one wants to hear anything you have to say. Aside from PRESIDENT Trump, you killed an innocent person and put 2 in the hospital and might as well have helped pull the trigger.

Don’t forget the nine congressmen ilk who tried to pass legislation to remove or at lease lessen Trumps security.

There is a reason why they wanted him defenseless. Someone should ask them.
