Kathy Griffin won' t be back to host New Year' s Eve coverage on CNN with Anderson Cooper
Kathy Griffin won’t be back to host New Year’s Eve coverage on CNN with Anderson Cooper after a photo depicted her holding a facsimile of President Trump’s detached, bloodied head by the hair.
The network’s public relations team tweeted, « CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year’s Eve program. »
Griffin’s apology, apparently, was too little too late. On Tuesday, hours after she posted a tweet of the photo shoot, she deleted the images and video and tweeted, « I am sorry. I went too far. I was wrong. » In an accompanying video, she said, « The image is too disturbing, I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. … I beg for your forgiveness. »
Her New Year’s Eve co-host also slammed the imagery.
Cooper tweeted, « For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate. »
Cooper was just one of many people condemning the photo shoot. Mr. Trump, Mitt Romney and Chelsea Clinton slammed the comedian’s actions.
