After facing social media backlash, Griffin issued a video apology and removed the image from her Instagram and Twitter.
“I sincerely apologize,” she said. “I moved the line, then I crossed it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny — I get it.”
