"The last time I was in a hospital was in June 2020 when I tried to take my life and overdosed on prescription pills," Griffin told her 695,000 followers in an Instagram post."With over a year clean and drug free, I now know I can do this and anything I want without those devil pills."

"Tonight will be my first night without any narcotic painkillers," she wrote."Hello Tylenol, my new best friend!"While acknowledging her ongoing treatment for cancer, Griffin said she's confident about facing all health challenges.

Karma

She didn't nearly lose her life to suicide, she attemped the kill HERSELF!

Was this before or after she doubled down on the headless effigy? I'm glad her career tanked. She deserves what's coming. Karma, right?

Again, who cares!

The fastest growing career field in America is victimhood.

Being a cancer survivor I sincerely wish her the best. But I can see why people would be less sympathetic towards her. Her comedy attacked many and not so sympathetic.

Incurable non smoking lung cancer is no joke as evidenced by Wednesday being the 4th year since my wife, pictured died from same. But please, there's thousands of advocates 4 this cancer + other cancers who are not polarizing. Their stories and testimonies resonate more than KG's

coward

I think many who do the HCG diet are realizing skinny is not all it’s cracked up to be. Did Kathy do it? I dunno. But family n friends of mine did and they went downhill in every way except their waistline. Pleasingly plump is better. 😉

MalcolmNance Kathy you are such a treasure please take care of yourself and get well! We need you now! Remember there are thousands of us who you can reach out to if yo feel down and defeated!

I've been to several of Kathy's shows. She's amazing & just wants to give the audience a fun night. I wish for her the same love, joy, & laughter that she's given to others throughout her entire life. She is a phenomenal person.

MalcolmNance SAD TO HEAR THAT ABOUT KATHY!!!

Keep Hanging on Dear you Can Do it!

Poor woman

IAmSophiaNelson Wish her a full recovery, strength, inward peace- ignore the haters, it seems there are many.

I wish the best for you Kathy. Stay strong!

All actors have mental health issues. And it's only on them to get help.

Mental health should never be taboo. Never be ashamed to seek health. This world is a harsh, scary place. We all need to love each other.

Who cares
