Kat Timpf, known for her sharp wit on Fox News’ *Gutfeld!*, is facing a personal battle with resilience and honesty. The 36-year-old recently announced she’s taking a temporary leave from the show to undergo another surgery following her breast cancer journey. On the June 25 episode, she addressed her absence directly: “The best-case scenario of breast cancer can still involve a long road to feeling whole again.”
Her journey began shortly after giving birth to her son in February, when she was diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer. Timpf underwent a double mastectomy in March and returned to TV two months later, announcing she was cancer-free. However, recovery is ongoing.
Alongside her medical battle, Timpf has faced online backlash—from parenting criticism to false rumors about her death. With her usual humor, she quipped, “I’m starting to think being a dad is the only way to be a parent and not get judged.” Even a trip to Coachella drew unfair scrutiny.
She first announced her diagnosis and the birth of her son in a raw Instagram post, writing: “Remain calm. It’s just a little cancer.” Her candid style hasn’t changed—she embraces motherhood, surgery, and public attention on her own terms.
Kat Timpf continues to fight for her health while challenging stigma and misinformation, proving that strength comes in many forms—and sometimes with a punchline.
