Kathy Griffin Shocks Fans with Natural Red Hair and Honest Health Update

Kathy Griffin has always done things her own way. The comedian, now 64, was spotted near her Los Angeles home this week looking completely different. Fans did a double-take when they saw her natural red curls blowing in the wind. No wig. No heavy makeup. Just Kathy, raw and real.

She stepped out in a simple white tee from her 2018 Laugh Your Head Off World Tour and plain black pants. Nothing fancy. That’s always been her charm. She doesn’t care about Hollywood glam the same way so many others do.

Why Did Kathy Griffin Ditch Her Wigs?

People remember Kathy for her wild wigs and over-the-top looks. But her love for wigs started in a pretty emotional way. Back in 2017, she shaved her head to support her sister Joyce during chemo. It was brave. It was Kathy. And she found a new love for wigs during that time.

Since then, she’s switched it up a lot. But this week, she let her natural hair shine. It was a reminder she’s never been afraid to show her true self. Not on stage. Not off.

How Is Kathy Griffin’s Health Now?

Kathy’s hair isn’t the only thing fans are talking about. She’s been open about her health scares. In April, she shocked everyone with an Instagram post. She casually shared she’d just had a hysterectomy. Her way of telling it? Pure Kathy. “Happy Monday! I had a hysterectomy on Friday,” she wrote. Just like that.

She joked about it being perfect reality TV material. Which, honestly, it was. Kathy already gave fans a peek into her life with her old show My Life on the D-List. That show won her two Emmys. People loved how real she was. No filter. Just life, mess and all.

Her health story didn’t start this year, though. In 2021, she stunned everyone again. She told Jimmy Kimmel she’d had lung cancer, even though she’s never smoked. Half of her left lung was removed. She laughed about her voice sounding like “Minnie Mouse meets Marilyn Monroe” because of the surgery. That’s Kathy. She’ll find the joke even in scary stuff.

Through all of this, she’s stayed upfront. Honest. A little outrageous. But that’s why fans stick with her. She makes people feel like no matter how messy life gets, it’s okay to laugh through it.

She’s not just a reality TV face either. Back in the 2000s, she could’ve joined The View. Most comics would kill for that. But Kathy said no. She explained in a YouTube video she was making too much money touring and filming her own show. She even pulled Barbara Walters aside to say she didn’t want them thinking she felt “too good” for The View. For Kathy, family and her LA life came first.

This week, her stroll through LA wasn’t about comedy tours or TV offers. It was just Kathy being Kathy. Natural curls. T-shirt from the past. Walking her neighborhood like any other local. If you ask her fans, that’s when she’s at her best.
