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.

Wow—a double finger salute with a heart, no less.
You are an intellectual treasure.
I have an idea for a ball drop. Only simulations of course. Put a Kathy Griffin dummy into a coffin with CAREER marked on the side and lower it into a hole at midnight. That’s funny. Right, Kathy?
That cnn would even have to think about it, tells us all what we need to know
Just stop. Let it go.
CNN’s inability to fire her immediately is a reflection on the immorality that permeates the organization.
Kathy Griffin Tells Jesus to Suck It.
Did actress Kathy Griffin tell Jesus to ‘suck it’ and say that her Emmy was now her God?
SNOPES declared this as TRUE ( in fact we have videos of it ). See here:

I called. I’m wondering if the FEC can revoke permission to use the frequencies for their satellites in the USA.
MARK DICE: CNN Host ‘Beheads’ Trump - Kathy Griffin

You started it.
You could not rationally explain your comment, so you took to attacking and insulting me.
Cached tour info, Griffin has removed it from her site.
Kathy’s Tour Information
Has any media folks asked Jon “OBAMA, Pajama Boy” Ossoff, what his position is regarding the Kathy Griffin “Beheading of POTUS, Donald J. Trump? Voters in the Georgia 6th CD, take note of his comments if any!!! Ossoff & Griffin...the same Scum & Vermin...Democrat low life!!!
Yeah, sure. They won’t fire her. At most, she will disappear for a few weeks, then reappear at a higher pay rate. CNN favors this.
After all, griffin was just doing what the left’s favorite people do: chop heads.
Ah, what a distinction to share...... thx for the info!
[mind you Trump is rather gruesome as well]
Oh we’re so sorry. Thanks for sharing.
When you’ve lost Anderson Pooper, you’ve lost America.
CNN = Terror Organization
This is Kathy Griffin’s tribute to ISIS. She is encouraging the deranged people, and teaching ISIS how to run propaganda videos.
CNN is now using terror against the U.S. President.
CNN is not firing her, and so I guess CNN supports this and ISIS.
This is without a doubt the Lefts love of Islam.
