Kat Timpf Faces Cancer and Criticism with Humor
Fox News’ Kat Timpf is confronting breast cancer—and online trolls—with honesty and humor.
On the June 25 episode of Gutfeld!, the 36-year-old announced she’d be stepping away for more surgery. “The best case scenario of breast cancer can involve quite a road to feeling whole again,” she said. “That’s where I am, just to prevent the internet from speculating about my location.”
A Life-Changing Diagnosis
Shortly after giving birth in February, Timpf revealed her cancer diagnosis.
“I’m fortunate to be my son’s mother; we were fortunate to discover the cancer so early,” she posted on Instagram. She underwent a double mastectomy in March after a Stage 0 diagnosis and returned to TV two months later, declaring herself cancer-free. However, recovery continues.
Pushing Back Against Online Hate
Timpf’s journey hasn’t been without critics. She’s faced questions about her diagnosis and parenting.
“I swear I know more about my case than people online,” she said. When criticized for attending Coachella, she joked, “I’m beginning to believe that being a dad is the only way to be a parent and avoid backlash.” In April, she even addressed a false death rumor: “Dude, a lot of phony accounts are posting things about me, including this one that claims I passed away.”
