The comedy icon opened up about her struggles with addiction and mental health amid her cancer battle during an interview with ‘The View.’

The 61-year-old comedian admitted that between lockdown for the COVID-19 pandemic and feeling like so many people were angry at her for her controversial photo holding a faux severed head for former President Donald Trump, she fell deeper into addiction.

While her story was undoubtedly emotional, Kathy eased the tension on the morning talk show by sliding a few jokes about Trump in. “I had fallen under the spell of pill addiction. I was really very addicted to prescription pills. I started probably kind of abusing them maybe a few years before the Trump thing—I’m not blaming it on him,” she said, as Joy Behar humorously gave her the okay to put the blame on the ex-president. Kathy jokingly blamed her battle with lung cancer on him. “He totally gave me cancer,” she quipped.

Can't she do anything right?

[Salamander]

All I can come up with is “meh”.

[OLDCU]

Hm, I have nothing to say.

[ryderann]

It’s a real struggle not to post what we’d all love to post. I have to keep slapping my fingers.

[struggle]

Call Fred Stoller

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Try 101 next time.

[Candor7]

Next Time , I ‘ll be glad to help her out , and lend her my shot gun so she can go hunting alone.

[NohSpinZone]

She sucked at that too.

[antidemoncrat]

If at first you fail to succeed, try try again.

[Allegra]

Well, I’m glad she didn’t kill herself (although I find her abhorrent.)

Lefties are mentally unstable.

[TnTnTn]

Well insanity is a major risk factor for suicide…

[lurk]

How weak is it to be so consumed by a politician she doesn’t know personally.

That crazy beheaded Trump thing was over the top.

Try again.

[1Old Pro]

That crazy beheaded Trump thing was over the top.

It was her Jussie Smollet moment. They aren't that bright.

[Seruzawa]

As we can see liberals are incompetent even at this.

[PGR88]

With many leftist women, their public displays of insanity is a crude form of therapy.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah right, sure she did. Now she is seeking attention with lies.

[paulcissa]

Yep, another placard on the Kathy Griffin Wall of Shame. What an evil wench.
