I don't think she should've apologized. If Ted Nugent didn't apologize for threatening to murder Obama then Kathy Griffin should've never apologized.

If by "apology" you mean "attempt to paint herself as the victim through the use of crocodile tears", then no, that made it a million times worse.

It's the standard boilerplate "I did a thing that didn't go over the way I hoped" apology that everyone has given since forever so I'm ok with it.
She lost a gig over it so I'd say everyone's done the right amount of BS handwringing and pearl clutching so we can move on now.

Personally though, I thought it was funny and would have liked to see a whole series of things on it, perhaps with a few jokes about Milania saying how nice it was to finally get head from him or something.

No, because people who apologize only because of the backlash never really mean it. Though I don't think she should've apologized in the first place.

I more dissapointed that she did apologize, thats the last thing you should do in her line of work but I guess thats why she's as much of a nobody as she was


Not apologizing would probably only fuck her career over longer. It looks good to fans, but everybody else feels different.

Which is the most hilarious part of all this since, after a half-assed apology that sounded so boilerplate and generic that it could have been about anything, she tries to claim that she's the victim in all this because she's being held accountable for her stupidity.

Ted Nugent never threatened to kill Obama, unless you have some other clip of which I'm not aware since the infamous one specifically talks about voting.

I mean, in terms of sheer manpower he's asking us to each take the few minutes it would take to search up the video. So with the amount of unique posters in this topic, like 30ish, that's about 90 minutes of wasted manpower. Unless of course the TC just posted the video instead which would be three minutes of effort for one person whom presumably already had pulled it up.

TC must be a terrible employee. Really doesn't know how to manage time or resources properly.

I don't see why she should have had to apologize. What Trump is doing is far more offensive than any satire about it.

I read that there were tiers. She said her career (what was left of it) is over. Would do it differently. Blah. Poor choice by a D list celebrity. She probably thought all the other talking heads in LA would speak up.

No doubt. She is more aware than that I would hope. Whoever stood there and told her it was a good idea is a moron.

Ha,
Kathy, during her press conference, was all like "im being threatened and im scared and it's not right" meanwhile her cultural appropriation of Islamic terrorism used to depict the presidents bloodied and severed head was to send the message of... um... sorry what was the message exactly??
Then she tried to play the 'oppressed woman in a rich old white man's world' card, while at the same time defending her right to free speech/expression, which... is hate speech isn't it? Except nothing anyone on the right is saying is even remotely as hateful... so it clearly came across as being quite a ways over the line. Also, 'hate speech' is one thing but they have skipped right past that to making threats of violence and actually carrying it out in some cases. That's WAY worse.
Oh and Trump and Melania were 'bullying her' because they weren't impressed with a pretty significant piece of 'art' that was OF THEM? You know, it wasn't that long ago in time that if you pulled a stunt like that you'd probably be captured and killed for it. They have every right to comment on it, probably more than anyone else actually.
I dunno, i just felt the whole apology just wasn't genuine, although i do think she was legitimately scared that she just fucked her whole life up over a stupid stunt. She wasn't sorry for what she did... if she was she wouldn't have been playing victim the whole time and slipping in anti-Trump comments and propaganda whenever she could, which seemed like she was just trying to grasp for some sympathy.. 'yeah was i did was wrong but Trump's an idiot, right guys?? are ya with me?'
She wasn't apologizing to him or his family, she was apologizing to all the people she had contracts with which have all been terminated.
If she had just owned it and left it at that, it would already be forgotten news by now.

Even if she gave a good explanation and fully explained her reasoning. You don't hold a likeness of the president's severed head. What if the most vocal Republican did that with Obama.

All those hanging effigies of Obama probably made her think this would be okay to do especially since toooons of people hate Trump. But it's never okay to do something like that especially if it's the president.

I don't think she should have apologized though. Just own it. You did it for a reason so why act like a spineless coward when you get backlash? Did she think she was gonna all of a sudden be America's sweetheart and get a ton of praise/job offers for taking a pic with a severed head that is supposed to be the presidents? Of course a lot of people would take issue with that.

In fact, Trump invited Nugent to the WH when he became president, which meant he condoned Nugent threatening Obama in the first place. No, it's okay for a white guy to threaten a minority but a minority even suggest such a thing and the Secret Service gets called in.

More support from his peers. Unlike the fake celebrities.They want you to buy their stuff and don't want to offend anyone. Kathy Griffin had nothing left. Being fired from New Years Eve broke her.
