Abrasive but funny comedian Kathy Griffin opened up about her highly publicized series of cosmetic surgeries and her worries about her figure. She was quite frank about the procedures she’s had done- and even more honest about the realization that in the end, they really didn’t make her feel better about herself or help her get work as an actress/comedian.
The 47-year-old Emmy winner and star of, well, her own life, aka the reality-TV hit Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, has gotten smarter when it comes to her body. “I spent 20 years obsessing about my weight. But I realized that I’ve never lost a job — or gotten one — because of it,” says Griffin. She has a strict no-extremes policy, just eating and exercising sensibly. “But if I eat something that’s not so good for me, I don’t feel bad anymore. If I don’t exercise one day, I’ll make it up some other way.”
The funny thing about her healthier, more relaxed attitude, she says, is “I like my body now more than I did two decades ago.” That’s a punch line that’ll never get old.
Kathy has admitted to having a facelift, a nose job, veneers on her teeth, an eyebrow lift and liposuction on her arms, legs and stomach - the latter of which nearly killed her when she developed toxicity and nearly bled to death internally. After all that work, Griffin admitted that she didn’t really notice any results, except for her teeth, and that if she had it to do over again, she would have avoided it all.
