Kathy Griffin Fakes Cancer to Escape Driver's Rude Remarks
24 Apr
Summary
- Griffin reported anti-gay and racial comments from a driver.
- She fabricated a cancer relapse to exit the uncomfortable situation.
- The comedian previously battled and beat lung cancer.
Comedian Kathy Griffin shared a distressing experience from a recent car ride in Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the drive to a performance, the driver reportedly made anti-gay and racial comments, making Griffin deeply uncomfortable.
When they passed George Floyd's memorial, the driver commented, "If only people would comply," further unsettling Griffin. She began texting her tour manager for a way out of the situation.
In an unusual move, Griffin fabricated a story about her cancer relapsing. She admitted on 'The View' that this was a lie, used solely to prompt the driver to stop the car and allow her to leave.
Griffin, who publicly battled and announced remission from lung cancer in 2021, used her past health struggles as a false excuse. She and her manager then sought an Uber to reach the airport, escaping the driver and his inappropriate remarks.
