‘Vile’ and ‘disturbing’ video depicting Trump’s severed head prompts apology from comic Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin says she went way too far when she appeared in a brief video Tuesday holding what looked like President Donald Trump’s bloody, severed head.

The comic posted a video later Tuesday apologising for the video image, saying it was “too disturbing” and wasn’t funny.

“I sincerely apologise,” she said. “I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people.”

The first video showed a straight-faced Griffin slowly lifting the bloody head. She originally described the project with photographer Tyler Shields as an “artsy fartsy statement” mocking the commander in chief.
