The Buzz | CNN sacks Kathy Griffin over Trump video as backlash builds
Kathy Griffin has lost a decade-long gig ringing in the new year for CNN as a backlash builds over her video displaying a likeness of President Donald Trump’s severed head.
CNN, which had called the images “disgusting and offensive” after Griffin posted the video earlier this week, announced yesterday it would not invite her back this year for the Times Square live New Year’s Eve special she had co-hosted annually since 2007 with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
A New Mexico casino has also canceled a performance by Griffin, who was scheduled to perform at Route 66 Casino, operated by Laguna Pueblo, on July 22.
And a commercial endorsement deal was canceled just weeks after she landed it. Squatty Potty, a Utah-based company whose products include toilets and bathroom accessories, said it was suspending an ad campaign that featured Griffin.
