Before the controversy, Griffin spent part of her time as a co-host for their New Year’s Eve coverage.
CNN provided a statement to Mediaite expressing their thoughts about her actions and what they meant moving forward: “We found what she did disgusting and offensive. We are pleased to see she has apologized and asked that the photos be taken down. We are evaluating New Year’s Eve and have made no decisions at this point.”

Others CNN employees expressed their distaste for the imagery:
For those asking, I said on air that I thought the beheading imagery by Griffin about the president was disgusting and inappropriate.

For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.
