Kathy Griffin has slammed the Trump family for bullying her on social media after a controversial photo shoot, at times fighting back tears during a press conference alongside celebrity powerhouse lawyer Lisa Bloom in Los Angeles on Friday.

Im not afraid of Donald Trump, Griffin said. Hes a bully. Ive dealt with older white guys trying to keep me down my whole career.

In the emotional press conference, the nervous comic stated that the Trumps are personally trying to ruin my life forever after a series of social media posts. Griffin has faced a week of intense backlash, which cost her several jobs, after releasing a gory photo showing the comedian holding a prop designed to look like the bloodied, severed head of President Donald Trump . The president called the photo shoot sick.

Bloom stressed that the severity of the backlash did not match that of similarly violent images created by men in the entertainment industry in the past. She named Marilyn Manson, who alluded to violence against Trump in a 2016 video, and Ted Nugent, whose past comment about killing then-President Barack Obama Trump supported.

Theyre all just considered bad boys, Bloom said.

Asked whether she thought the backlash against her was particularly harsh because she is a woman comedian, Griffin answered with certainty.

This is a woman thing. Im sorry if you dont agree with me, but I live it. Im 56 years old. Everywhere I go, theres a male promoter. The people who sign my checks are white guys, usually older white guys.

Bloom stated the comedian has received death threats, which Griffin called specific and detailed.
