Kat Timpf is fighting not only cancer but also mom-shamers and conspiracy theories. However, the Fox News personality is addressing everything head-on with her trademark candor and sense of humor.
The 36-year-old co-host of Gutfeld! officially announced on the June 25 episode that she would be taking a temporary leave of absence to have another surgery related to her breast cancer journey.
As Kat explained to the audience, “the best case scenario of breast cancer can involve quite a road to feeling whole again.” “That’s where I am, just to prevent the internet from speculating about my location.”
A Trip That Began With Two Words That Changed My Life
Hours after giving birth to her son in February, Timpf made her diagnosis public for the first time. The timing was both life-saving and as intense as it gets.
“I’m fortunate to be my son’s mother; we were fortunate to discover the cancer so early,” she wrote on Instagram.
Timpf had a double mastectomy in March after receiving a Stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis. Two months later, she made her TV comeback and declared herself cancer-free. However, the road to recovery is far from over.
Combating Cancer and Online Hatred Together
The majority of fans offer support, but Kat has also had to silence trolls who cast doubt on her parenting abilities or diagnosis.
In March, she declared, “I swear I know more about my case than people online.”
Even a Coachella trip sparked criticism.
Kat joked, “I’m beginning to believe that being a dad is the only way to be a parent and avoid backlash.”
She even had to put an end to a fictitious death rumor in April:
“Dude, a lot of phony accounts are posting things about me, including this one that claims I passed away.”
Kat’s Announcement of Birth? Not yet filtered
Timpf’s initial post announcing the birth of her son and the news of his cancer was anything but ordinary:
“Remain calm. It is merely a small amount of cancer.
She talked about how she went from having past-due prenatal appointments to being told she would require a double mastectomy and giving birth that same evening.
The attitude remains the same despite the impending surgery. Still Kat, Still Unfiltered
Kat remains competitive even as she prepares for another surgery. As early as March, she shared:
“After my cancer is eradicated, I have breast reconstruction surgery, recuperate from childbirth, and am physically able to resume my gym routine.” For you, B**HEZ #MILF, it’s over. *
And following her most recent announcement, admirers turned up once more:
I’m glad you shared it. One follower wrote, “Cease the rumors before they start.”
It has never been about pity for Kat. One brutally honest joke at a time, just taking responsibility for her story.
