(Provincetown, Massachusetts).”

“I love you Kathy. We need you, keep making us laugh!” added @shelbyan.

“I loved you in Vancouver in February. Just like when I lived in Southern California. Just like always. If it helps you feel, you are MY medicine.

Griffin filed for divorce from her husband in December 2023 after nearly four years of marriage. Reacting to the news, Griffin said on Instagram at the time, “So… sh*t. This sucks.”

The couple had been together since 2011 and married on January 1, 2020, with actress Lily Tomlin officiating.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Randy Bick and Kathy Griffin,” Tomlin said in a video Griffin shared from their wedding. “What was meant to be a superficial one-night stand with a lot of posturing turned into something much more meaningful. They stayed together, then couldn’t keep their distance from each other.”

In August 2021, the Emmy Award winner announced that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer. In November of the same year, Griffin said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The treatment of Fashion Police The star underwent a change in her vocal tone. In 2022, Griffin said she feared her previous vocal tone might never return.

“OK, so I have to go to the ENT doctor and get another check-up. They’re going to put a big fucking tube down my throat, make me gag, and look at my vocal cords,” she said on Instagram at the time. “I’m sick of not having my voice and I’m terrified that it’s never going to get better because they said it would be better by now, but it’s not.”

On June 11 Suddenly Susan The star shared an update on her voice; she received an implant in her left vocal cord, “which was permanently paralyzed during my lung cancer surgery where I had half of my left lung removed.”

The next day, Griffin said her surgery was a success. “The vocal cord surgery went well,” she said. “As you can see, there is some scarring and swelling. It will be worth it if I get some of my voice back.”
