Kathy Griffin Wants Her Own 'Reality Show' As She Shares Health Update In Candid Post

Comedian and actress Kathy Griffin has shared details about a recent hysterectomy she had.

The 64-year-old took to her Instagram page on Monday to open up about the operation and also narrate her experience with her private nurse.

The recent update comes almost four years after Griffin was diagnosed with stage one cancer in August 2021.

In her Instagram post, Griffin shared a note where she revealed her uterus had been removed.

She wrote, "Happy Monday! I had a hysterectomy on Friday, that's right they took out the uterus, the fallopian tubes & the ovaries. Pre-cancerous, blah blah blah."

In the latter part of the post, Griffin shared details of her interaction with her nurse.

She wrote, "I'm going to do a @patreon post later about my private "nurse" (who possibly... got her scrubs online.) I sent her home because she also thinks that "tariffs" are "terrorists."

Griffin continued, "So she kept saying stuff like 'I don't like Donald Trump anymore because the price of eggs is going up and now he's adding terrorists!'"

In the caption to her post, Griffin reflected on the funny side of her story and wondered why she didn't have a reality TV show. She said, "Not to be an a--hole, but how do I NOT have a reality show to capture all of this??? I mean, you can't write it. It's too real."

Many of Kathy Griffin's fans commented on her post, with some wishing her well on her health journey while others called for her to have a reality show.

One fan wrote, "Glad the operation is behind you & that you sent that "nurse" packing. Go very slow, no lifting, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the hormonal shift is easy on you. I'm sure at this point the comedy will just write itself."

Another person added, "Wishing you a speedy recovery, gurrl!" while a third person noted, "You need a reality show!"

A fourth fan shared similar sentiments, adding, "Right!!! You SHOULD have your own reality show. Get well soon darling."

Meanwhile, some fans shared their hysterectomy experience. One such fan commented, "I had that done nearly 10 years ago. I was Stage 1 endometrial cancer. Sore tummy for a while but feel great. Get well soon."

Griffin's hysterectomy is the second health scare she will have in four years. In August 2021, she revealed she was diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer that needed part of the organ to be removed.

She made the announcement via a post on Instagram, writing, "I've got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. I'm about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed."

Griffin continued, "Yes, I have lung cancer even though I've never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung."

She expressed hope that she wouldn't have to go through chemotherapy or radiation after the surgery and looked forward to a speedy recovery.

Griffin assured her fans that she would be fine and concluded with this advice: "Please stay up to date on your medical check ups. It'll save your life."

In December 2021, the comedian appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and shared the good news that she was cancer-free after a successful surgery.

Griffin was in her best element during her time on the show and even joked about having lung cancer.

She said, "I had surgery. You're not going to believe this. So I've never smoked, but I got lung cancer. In August, I had half of my left lung removed. I'm not even kidding."

Griffin also revealed that an intubation tube affecting her vocal cords had temporarily altered her voice.

She quipped, "So now I'm like Minnie Mouse meets Marilyn Monroe. It will heal, but I'm sort of enjoying it. I'm a good two octaves higher, I think. It's higher than Mariah Carey, I know that."

Kimmel asked Griffin if the doctors were able to get all of the lung cancer out, and she confirmed that it was "fully removed."

In January, Griffin finalized her divorce from Randy Bick, just over a year after filing in December 2023 due to irreconcilable differences.

The couple, who married on January 1, 2020, after nine years of dating, honored their 2019 prenuptial agreement in the settlement.

Griffin agreed to pay Bick a lump sum of $75,000, covering his legal fees and living expenses.

Despite requesting spousal support in March 2024, Bick later waived that right.

Their official separation date was listed as December 28, 2023.
