Kathy Griffin is turning heads again with more photos, but these are sure to spark compassion over outrage

FILE - In this Feb. 11, 2017 file photo, comedian Kathy Griffin attends the Clive Davis and The Recording Academy Pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills, Calif. Griffin says she knew her new photo shoot with photographer Tyler Shields would “make noise.” She appears in a photo posted online Tuesday, May 30, 2017, holding what looks like President Donald Trump’s bloody, severed head. Many on Twitter called for the comedian to be jailed. Griffin told photographer Shields in a video on his Twitter page Tuesday that they will have to move to Mexico to avoid federal prison for their latest collaboration.

Kathy Griffin is back in the news with more pictures of a head — this time her own. The comedian shaved her head bald in support of her sister Joyce, who is battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.

For the last several months, Griffin has absorbed extreme criticism for photographs that depicted her holding a faux bloody, severed head that was supposed to be that of Donald Trump. Those photos cost Griffin her New Year’s Eve gig with CNN.

These new batch of photos that hit social media should, at the least, grant her some praise. She showed off her stubby scalp in a couple of photos, one standing outdoors topless in front of some bushes, and another sitting next to her surprised mother Maggie Griffin.

Afterward, Griffin’s mom took to Twitter to say how wonderful her daughter is for showing such solidarity with her sister.

This is not the first time the Griffin family has had to grapple with this insidious disease. Griffin’s older brother Gary passed away in 2014 at 63 years of age after a more than two-year battle with stage IV esophageal cancer.

“Oh & he was funny as sh*t,” she added.
