CNN is evaluating Kathy Griffins role in its annual New Years Eve coverage following the comic's controversial photo shoot in which she posed with a decapitated, bloody head resembling President Trump.
We found what she did disgusting and offensive, CNN said in a statement Tuesday. We are pleased to see she has apologized and asked that the photos be taken down. We are evaluating our New Years Eve coverage and have made no decisions at this point."
Griffin earlier Tuesday apologized for the photo, noting that she had crossed a line.
I sincerely apologize, she said in a 31-second video posted on Twitter. Im a comic. I cross the line. I move the line and then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is way too disturbing. I understand how it offends people, Griffin added. It wasnt funny. I get it. Ive made a lot of mistakes in my career, Ill continue.
Griffin also asked for forgiveness in the vide, promising to take the image down. The photo, however, had already sparked debate on social media and caused "Kathy Griffin" to trend on Twitter.
Griffin has co-hosted CNNs New Years Eve Live broadcast every January since 2007 when she joined network anchor Anderson Cooper.
Cooper tweeted earlier in the evening that he was "appalled" by the photo.

Skank:
Derogatory term for a female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, . Can apply to any race, but most commonly used to describe white trash.
I think the most important thing being missed in this is that this is acceptable and normal for progressives, and especially millenials.
This is what passes for freedom of speech; freedom of the arts; freedom of expression. It is neither shocking or appalling.
My generation has been exposed to this type of action being acceptable and in a society that is turning away from God and their natural moral core more and more every day, it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that violent images and hate are reigning throughout our entertainment venues.
I was 18, driving home from work listening to Sean Hannity when he replayed the beheading of Nick Berg. Listening to it made my heart stop. I didn’t ever need to see or hear something like that again to understand America’s true enemy. So much has changed in 14 years...
Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!
Nope, apology not accepted, she needs to be utterly destroyed career-wise, no mercy....isn’t that how SHE would respond?
Dearest President Trump.
Indeed, this is a *teachable moment*. Don’t turn Barron into a snowflake.
Also teachable for his progressive kids...
the left will NEVER accept Trump as their president so stop trying to appeal to them.
Barron is not a snowflake.
What 11 year old would not be appalled to see a bloody head of their own father on national media?
Griffin crossed every line there is, and deserves swift condemnation and ostracization.
Barron does not have to “take it”.
And neither do we, dammit.
THIS IS CNN

Media Matters tries to get someone fired for mearly looking into a murder...
But this requires thoughtful reflectuon?
PFFT! I didn't *say* B. *was* a snowflake*.,p. Congrats Miz griffin, you have single-handedly replaced HRC as most hated woman in 'Merica. Good show.
lol
You implied that Barron would be turned into a snowflake if President Trump did not properly use this incident as a “teachable moment”.
Look again?
Nice deflection, but not enough.

Kathy Griffin, CNN, “All” Democrats = Scum, Vermin, Hate of America!!! Americans, all, destroy the current Democrat Party politically, ...defeat every single Democrat running for office...right now!! All these traitors should be locked in prison, forever...with the keys thrown away!!!
