Kathy Griffin says she feels betrayed by Anderson Cooper after she was axed from CNN over the severed head scandal - while top Hollywood PR exec says she should have 'shut the f*** up' and not responded





Kathy Griffin is said to feel betrayed by friend and CNN host Anderson Cooper after she was axed from the network over the Trump severed head photo scandal.

The comedian had expected Cooper to stand by her as she was hit with a wave of criticism after posting an image earlier this week in which she appeared to be holding Donald Trump's severed head, sources told Page Six.

Instead, Griffin was fired from her post as Cooper's New Year's Eve co-host on CNN - which she has done for the last 10 years - about 24 hours after he publicly condemned her actions.

Cooper wrote on his personal account Tuesday: 'For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.'

A source told Page Six: 'Kathy totally misjudged this. She truly believed that Anderson would stick up for her. She considered him a friend. While she has nobody to blame but herself, she feels somehow betrayed.'
