Kathy Griffins Colonoscopy Complications Land Her in Hospital

 has revealed she was hospitalized after suffering complications during her colonoscopy procedure.

The comedian, 65, took to Instagram to share a glamorous snap as she relived her horror night for her millions of followers.

She wrote: 'I spent the night in the hospital because I had complications from my colonoscopy.

'I know, I know, very sexy but I am home now with the doggies where I belong.'

She added that she had hoped to reveal the news in a 'TMI' video but had been halted by the sound 'screwing up.'

Known for her biting humor and criticism of Republicans, the Catholic League and celebrity culture, Griffin has opened up about her history of health struggles, starting with a binge eating disorder as a teen. 

 She also has spoken out about her long string of cosmetic procedures ranging from a breast augmentation, nose job and lip tattoo to a botched LASIK surgery in 2003 that partially blinded one of her eyes and complications from a 1999  that nearly killed her.

She also has struggled with her mental health, especially since a photo of her holding what looked like Trump's hacked-off head triggered heavy pushback starting in 2017.

Trump, tweeting about the image at the time, wrote, 'Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!' 

Griffin came forward on social media in 2023 to say that her cancer fight and years of Trump backlash contributed to extreme post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and caused  that at times had her writhing in bed for eight hours. 

She talked about the ordeal in a video posted to her TikTok account.

She said at the time that she managed her anxiety partly by pushing herself to do daily tasks such as feeding her dog or taking walks.

In 2021 Griffin announced that she had stage one lung cancer despite never smoking cigarettes, and would have to have part of her left lung removed. 

Raised in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, Griffin attended acting school and launched her acting and comedy career in Los Angeles in the late 1970s and early 1980s. 

Her supporting role on the Brooke Shields sitcom Suddenly Susan and starring role in Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List — winner of two Emmys for Outstanding Reality Show — marked her big breaks on TV. 

She was a regular on late night talk shows, has performed in 20 stand-up comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central and Bravo, and has appeared in 45 movies.

Griffin dated Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak from 2007-2008 and she was in a four-year relationship with her tour manager until their 'messy' 2012 split.

Griffin  from marketing executive Randy Bick in January 2025 after four years of marriage.

She recently went public with her new long-distance boyfriend.
