Kathy Griffin Appears Makeup-Free in LA Amid Ongoing Backlash

Comedian Kathy Griffin recently sparked controversy after posting a TikTok video featuring artwork depicting the severed heads of billionaires including current President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, which reignited backlash reminiscent of her 2017 incident involving a fake decapitated head of Trump. Following the video, Griffin was spotted makeup-free during a walk near her Malibu home, appearing noticeably different with natural gray hair and no signature bangs, prompting concern and online comparisons to horror characters. Griffin has a history of serious health issues, including a 2021 stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis requiring partial lung removal and a 2025 hysterectomy for a precancerous condition. She has also been open about her struggles with complex PTSD, pill addiction, and suicidal thoughts, largely linked to the fallout from her Trump-related controversies. Despite the backlash and public scrutiny, Griffin appeared in good spirits during her recent outing and was accompanied by a male friend. Her openness about her health and mental challenges has prompted calls from fans and mental health advocates for compassion and understanding.
