Photoshoot Featuring Kathy Griffin Apparently Holding Severed Head Of Trump Widely Condemned
Kathy Griffin has never been one to shy away from controversy. A new photoshoot the comedienne did with celebrity photographer Tyler Shields is already raising a lot of eyebrows.
In photos leaked on Tuesday, Griffin portrays a bloody scene. She looks to be holding a fake severed head.
Many have noted the head's striking similarity to that of President Donald Trump.
Many commenters online have been quick to condemn the photos.
I think Trump is a DISASTER as both a President and a human being.

I also think that Kathy Griffin photo is horrible and wrong.
Sean Hannity asks who killed Seth Rich. Liberals go crazy.

Griffin acknowledges that the photos could be quite provocative, but she doesn't explicitly identify whose head she's holding.
"I won't give away what we're doing, but Tyler and I aren't afraid to do images that make noise," Griffin said in a behind the scenes video about the photoshoot.
Shields, making recognizing the brewing controversy over the photos, tweeted "Friend text me this 'I hear Tijuana is beautiful this time of year.'"
