Kathy Griffin Hospitalized After Colonoscopy Complications Kathy Griffin, the comedian and television personality, revealed she was hospitalized overnight due to complications following a colonoscopy, sharing the news in a candid Instagram post. The 65-year-old star described the situation as “TMI” (too much information) in her update, writing, “I spent the night in the hospital because I had complications from my colonoscopy.” She added, “I know, I know, very sexy but I am home now with the doggies where I belongs.” The post, shared on Thursday, included a selfie captioned “A not so tech savvy update,” which prompted a wave of supportive comments from followers. Griffin’s health struggles have been a recurring topic in her public life. In August 2021, she opened up about her past battles with prescription drug addiction during an interview with ABC’s Nightline. She detailed hitting a breaking point in early 2020, when suicidal thoughts became “obsessive.” She recounted planning her own death, including drafting a note and organizing her affairs, before seeking help. At the time, she also disclosed a lung cancer diagnosis, despite never having smoked. She announced in December 2021 that she was “cancer-free” after undergoing surgery to remove half of her left lung. The comedian noted that her voice had changed post-surgery, joking that it was now “a good two octaves higher” than Mariah Carey’s. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted the cancer surgery was “a little more than I had anticipated.” Griffin also referenced her previous hospitalization, which occurred during a suicide attempt involving prescription pills. She praised her progress, stating, “With over a year clean and drug free, I now know I can do this and anything I want without those devil pills.#lung_cancer #instagram #kathy_griffin #nightline #prescription_drugs
