Kathy Griffin just hosted a press conference in which she shared the intentions and story behind her controversial photo of a beheaded President Donald Trump.

In her speech, Griffin was asked whether she intentionally sought to affect Barron Trump, the President’s young son.

Griffin apologetically claimed she would never go after a child, “That was never my intent I never wanted to hurt anyone, much less a child”:

We remember a very specific instance in 2011, which she went after a child (per Fox News):

Kathy Griffin announced her New Year’s resolution to continue a verbal assault on the Palin family. Only in 2011, the comedian said she intends to target Sarah Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Willow. “I’ve already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously,” Griffin told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I think it’s Willow’s year to go down. In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin.”

Griffin seems to have an unwavering disregard in who she attacks:

Hollywood publicist Angie Meyer says Griffin’s targeting of Willow, a minor, is even worse. “To attack a young girl solely because of her last name seems rather contradictory of the types of justice she champions for others,” Meyer said. “A 50-year-old woman who chooses to attack a 16-year-old girl publicly at a time when cyber-bullying and teenage suicide are at their highest reported rates, not only sets irreconcilable example for others, it’s tasteless, immoral, and frankly – classless.”

This is not the first time Griffin’s “classless” comedy took a swipe at a younger family member as she also bullishly went after Bristol Palin (per Mediaite):

The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palin‘s daughter.
