On Friday, June 2, 2017, Griffin and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, called for a press conference, in which they alleged that Trump and his family and supporters bullied her.

Bloom opened the press conference with her own monologue about Trump's previous remarks about Megyn Kelly, telling reporters, "[The photo] was a parody of Trump's own sexist remarks ... It is Trump who should apologize for his 'blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,' which he has never done."

Bloom added, "Many male artists have created more disturbing imagery," referencing music videos by Marilyn Manson and GWAR. "They're all just considered 'bad boys.' Unlike these male artists, Kathy has apologized. Unlike these male artists, Kathy has endured."

When it was Griffin's turn to speak, she painted herself as a victim, saying, "I'm going to make fun of him more now. I'm not going to threaten him, I'm not going to harm him, I have no desire to harm anyone ... you shouldn't have to die for this. I'm under a Secret Service investigation. I get what I am. I'm the shiny object, we all know what's going on here, they're using me as the shiny object so no one talks about his FBI investigation."

"I don't think I will have a career after this, honestly. He broke me," she sobbed. "He broke me."
