A day after Griffin released a picture holding a mock "decapitated" head of President Trump shot by self-proclaimed "provocateur" photographer Tyler Shields, CNN announced Wednesday that they have terminated their decade-long contract with the comedian to appear with Anderson Cooper on New Year's Eve.

The 70-year-old President wasn’t the only Trump to weigh in on the situation; Melania said the photo was “very disturbing.”

Kathy Griffin, who has hosted CNN's live New Year's Eve show with Anderson Cooper since 2007, was fired from the show after posing with a fake severed Donald Trump head. Trump said in a Tweet on Wednesday that Griffin “should be ashamed of herself.”

“My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this,” he wrote. Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was delighted by the bathroom footstool maker's response but criticized CNN for not immediately doing the same.
