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.

Don’t forget when the doj sent somebody down to Nebraska because they had the audacity to have a characterture of Obama in front of an outhouse in a parade.
Next new years eve she will probably be joking about it
Probably easier to contact the clubs she’s scheduled to work at and tell them how you feel about her working there
She’s a depraved POS. And your net worth most definitely exceeds hers.
No apology to the president, and no sincerity to the apology.
Oldest ruse in the book. Do some lowlife, unconscionable, atricious act; and when reprimanded for it, give a half-hearted, half@$$ed, croccodile tear faux apology, which will be “accepted” and praised by your slimeball accomplices.
The fruits of their spadework on full display
Don’t forget that retired general suspended from Fox for calling Obama a p*ssy.
Griffin is sick. However, a liberal Co worker had no problem with it, when I showed him. He laughed at it.
Like Sgt. Schulz, Kathy Griffin is a “CNN” - Cathy Knows Nothing!
This worn-out leftist hag is no longer funny or even necessity to the world of humor, no less “good humor”.
Let the skank troll the nightclubs of the Millenials and Basement Dwellers. They deserve each other.
She’ll get a pass. liberals always get away with things. Only conservatives get punished.
She needs to be fired.
Bob Beckel says black and FOX and he’s fired....Griffin cuts off Trump’s head in a picture and gets a pass.
Do you really have to ask? /sarc
Don’t see her apologizing to Trump.
They will probably give her the top position at HLN first, then move her up to replace Jeff Zucker when the dust settles.
