Los Angeles, Jun 3 (IANS): Comedienne-actress Kathy Griffin says US President Donald Trump and his family are "personally trying to ruin my life forever", in the wake of a controversial photoshoot in which she held up a mask that resembled Trumps severed head.

Trump and his family members slammed the image over Twitter, and Griffin said after that she has been subjected to a constant stream of death threats, reports variety.com.

Her attorney, Lisa Bloom, suggested that it was an attempt to silence the free speech rights of a comic who makes provocative and critical political humour.

"What's happening to me has never happened in this great country," Griffin said here on Friday, referring to Trump and his family members' tweets in response to the photoshoot.

"I don't think I will have a career after this. I am going to be honest, he broke me. He broke me. And then I felt, ‘This isn't right. This is not right. And I apologised because that was the right thing to do and I meant it," she said.
