Kathy Griffin will make her first public appearance since posting a controversial image that showed her holding what looked to be the bloody, decapitated head of President Donald Trump on Friday morning.
The comedian's lawyer Lisa Bloom announced on Twitter Thursday that Griffin had hired her in the wake of the incident and that the two would be holding a press conference at 9am in her Los Angeles office.
Bloom also stated that Griffin would 'explain the true motivation behind the image, and respond to bullying from the Trump family that she has endured.'
Griffin, 56, was roundly criticized after posting the photo, with everyone from former first daughter Chelsea Clinton to her good friend Anderson Cooper publicly stating that the photo and accompanying video was 'appalling' and 'disgusting.'
President Trump also spoke out after seeing the photo, as did his son Don Jr., daughter-in-law Lara and the First Lady.
