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.

Alec Baldwin didn't pull that trigger.
She should have taken 200 pills
Maybe that teen girl Michelle Carter needs to call her with some encouraging pep talks like she did with her (late) boyfriend.
“Comedy Icon”??
It’s a typo, they spelled moron wrong.
Without a doubt. And her craziness is not "funny".
The only reason she attacked President Trump is because she thought it would appeal to the late night wokesters. I doubt that she gave any thought at all to President Trumps goals and policies. She only attacked President Trump because orange man bad.
She is a pathetic individual with low self esteem, acting out. She is 61 but without her makeup on she looks like Florida Meth Woman in a booking mugshot.
“Kathy Griffin Admits She Tried To CommitSuicide After Trump Backlash: ‘I Took About100 Pills’”
100% lie. If she took 100 aspirins she would be dead. Ditto 100 vitamin pills. She is a leftist, they lie.
She couldn’t even commit suicide properly. Is there anything she can do correctly?
Maybe she should call Bill & Hillary- I hear they are experts in the field.....
She’s not really good at anything except failure 🤪
Gunshot wound to the head would’ve been faster Karen....err I mean Kathy.
Applying the Golden Rule here...
So she's a diagnosed whacko. My suggestion, stay out of the public realm.
It must have been ugly pills.
She has a net worth of $35 million. (God bless America.)
Something else she’s not good at.
I would have given her another 100!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
What a failure
