Comedian Kathy Griffin stirred up controversy by posing with a decapitated dummy head made to resemble Donald Trump in a photo shoot with Tyler Shields. Griffin explained the situation on Instagram along with a video that gave a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot.

"Here's my artsy fartsy statement! I'm mocking the guy who mocks everybody. EVERYBODY (well, not the Russians so much) Anywhoo...If you could've seen us trying to fashion a Trump mask...haha We started playing around w props, etc, so I shall title this work "there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his...WHEREVER." OBVIOUSLY...I do not condone or encourage any of my fans / followers or ANYONE to cause harm to ANYONE. Verbally or otherwise. KG."
