Kat Timpf isn’t just battling breast cancer—she’s also fending off internet trolls, mom-shamers, and bizarre rumors. But true to form, the Fox News personality is tackling it all with her signature wit.
The Gutfeld! co-host, 36, recently announced she’d be taking a short break for surgery as part of her ongoing breast cancer recovery. “Even the best-case scenario of breast cancer is a long road,” she told viewers on the June 25 episode, wanting to clear the air before speculation started.
Timpf first revealed her diagnosis back in February—just hours after giving birth to her son. Caught early, the cancer led to a double mastectomy in March. She returned to TV two months later, declaring herself cancer-free, though the healing journey continues.
Alongside recovery, Kat’s had to push back against critics doubting her diagnosis or parenting. “I swear I know more about my case than people online,” she quipped, after facing backlash for everything from her medical decisions to a Coachella trip.
She even had to shut down a fake death rumor in April: “Dude, people are out here claiming I died,” she joked online.
Her announcement post was as raw and real as ever: “Remain calm. It is merely a small amount of cancer.” From late prenatal appointments to a cancer diagnosis and childbirth all in one day, she’s handled it all without filtering herself.
Now preparing for another surgery, Kat remains defiantly herself. “After cancer’s gone, I get my reconstruction, recover from childbirth, and hit the gym. For you, B**HEZ #MILF, it’s over,” she posted in March.
For Kat, this journey isn’t about pity—it’s about owning her story, one brutally honest laugh at a time.
