The comedian, who sparked outrage by holding up a fake severed head of President Trump, ISIS style, now says she’s now a victim — of bullying by the Trump family.

The Guardian Reports: Kathy Griffin says she has received death threats following the controversy over her holding a mock-up of Donald Trump’s severed head in a photoshoot – and believes the president and his family want to destroy her career.

At a press conference in Los Angeles, Griffin said that despite the alleged threats she would not stop making jokes at the president’s expense. She called the White House’s response to the stunt unprecedented.

“What’s happening to me has never happened,” Griffin said. “A sitting president of the United States and his grown children and the first lady are personally, I feel, trying to ruin my life forever.”

Griffin apologized for the stunt on Tuesday. On Friday morning she stood beside civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom and criminal attorney Dmitry Gorin, who said that the images of Griffin with the severed head had been misrepresented.

Griffin fought back tears and said: “I don’t think I will have a career after this. I’m going to be honest – [Trump] broke me.”

On Twitter earlier this week, Trump said the image of Griffin was “sick”, and that it had traumatized his family, especially Barron, his 11-year-old son. Trump’s oldest son, Donald Jr, called it “disgusting” and urged Griffin to be dropped by her employers.Griffin was fired from her role as co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage this week.

Griffin then addressed reporters herself. “I’m not afraid of Donald Trump,” she said. “He’s a bully. I’ve dealt with older white guys trying to keep me down my whole life, my whole career. I am a woman in a very male-dominated field.”
