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.

Not sure of how much of a raise to give her?
Don’t worry, we’ll be springing for her three hots and a cot for years to come (one can only hope!)
Sounds like they hope it will blow over
They had to think about it.
CNN, even more mentally challenged than you thought...
CNN is between a rock and a hard place: Condemnation or Praise.
Exactly!
Because we all know what a moral bunch populates the airways at CNN. *sarc not necessary
CNN you love and support this picture and the message behind it so just stand behind it and support it. ITS WHO THE LEFT IS!
CNN trying hard to find the Russian angle on this.
She is an appalling sack of garbage.*
(*with my apologies to sacks of garbage everywhere)
LOL!!
We never heard from him again.
Why is SHE different..?
I wonder what promotion they will give her? Maybe she will be President of CNN if she keeps this up.
CNN was likely waiting to see what Anderson Cooper was going to say about it first. They didn’t want to step on the IED bombs of the infamous Gay Mafia. Now that he too has disavowed her actions, they can quietly sever ties without worry.
I wonder how many of these leftards have made this photo their wallpapers and screensavers by now?
Good thing she didn’t wear an Obama mask like that rodeo clown. She would be banned for life if she did. /s
Why not a hole in the dirt to lay in and mustard and biscuits three or four times a week?
Taking the photos down does not mean it didn’t happen.
She needs a visit form an alphabet agency in order to put her actions in perspective.
