CNN is evaluating Kathy Griffin’s role in its annual New Year’s 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 Year’s 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. “I’m 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 wasn’t funny. I get it. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career, I’ll 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 CNN’s “New Year’s 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.

I wish Kathy Griffin goes to Syria and someone does likewise to her. Karma and all that. Disgusting woman.
Evaluating? That implies you have standards.
Mike Cernovich just Tweeted that Griffin WILL host this coming New Years Eve on CNN!
Cooper appalled? He is as bad. He gave us graphic examples go how gays “teabag”.
bttt!

I hope the SECRET SERVICE arrests her. Let her join CNN on New Year’s Eve via remote in a top security federal prison.
Ginger Privilege....
Saw this on Twitter:
Trump ‘beheaded’ - meh
Bush head on a pike - meh
Trump ‘executed’ by rapper - meh
Obama mask on rodeo clown: JOB LOSS & DOJ INVESTIGATION
That just about sums it up.
Even DUmmies are appalled...well, some of them.
Because she did what she did .... ISIS et-al may actually think that she was mocking them ..... And could conceivably draw some very bad actors to the NYE festivities. Heck ... Look at all of the love they showed Ariana Grande!
In other words, we'll see if it blows over pretty soon.
Whatever you posted isn’t displaying.
“We found what she did disgusting and offensive,” CNN said in a statement Tuesday. “However, we lie about everything, and we are all leftist whores, so if you read between the lines, you should be able to figure out that we laughed ourselves silly when we saw the picture.”
America thinks she crossed the line. I hope CNN defies Americans and puts this piece of vile crap on their show. It will just stand to help the people realize what slugs the people at that station have become.
CNN should close their eyes and pretend it was Ann Coulter making a beheading video of Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton and make the same statement again..we all know they wouldn’t..they would ban her for LIFE and demand that she be put in jail
She only apologized when she realized, to her utter shock and dismay, that a significant number of people didn’t think it was cute.
CNN is the same network that days before Trump’s inauguration asked “What if Trump were assassinated before his inauguration, could Hillary Clinton still become President?”
