Kathy Griffin has confirmed she underwent a third face lift after raising eyebrows with her taut appearance while hiking near her $8.8M Malibu home. ‘Very taut is also very true!’ the 64-year-old comedian wisecracked on her Talk Your Head Off podcast last Tuesday. ‘This is my third time. I know it’s a bit vain! There’s really no reason for such vanity. No one’s attending a Kathy Griffin show to admire a youthful face. The real draw is my humor, and that’s exactly what I aim for. I don’t want my appearance to be why you come. Look, today I’m in Lululemon, my comfy clothes. It’s not about dysmorphia… maybe just a touch.’ Proving she’s no gatekeeper, Kathy revealed her new face came courtesy of Dr. Ben Talei, who previously worked on her famous friend Sia. The 49-year-old media-shy pop icon praised the ‘incredible’ Beverly Hills plastic surgeon while presenting him with a 2023 Daytime Beauty Award: ‘I adore him, I have nothing but great things to say.’ And it wasn’t just Griffin’s face as she revealed her cosmetic procedure also included a blepharoplasty, foxy eye lift, and work on her chin. ‘There’s a stitch in my chin, something you probably won’t spot unless you’re below me, but not in that manner,’ joked the two-time Emmy recipient. ‘I’m going to be honest. It’s painful. So these bi***es that are like, “It’s like getting a tooth filled! It’s nothing!” No, it’s painful.’ Kathy didn’t talk about taking pain medication, but back in 2020, she was hospitalized at 59 due to a pill addiction, including Oxycontin, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, Adderall, and Provigil, which came about due to past injuries. ‘Then you end up in a posh rehab center. It’s not just for women. I noticed a few guys around, but everyone stays incognito, and I had gauze wrapped around me like a soccer ball,’ Griffin shared. ‘You get out of that place and you come home and maybe you come home with a nurse, and it’s disgusting. I’m not going to lie. The first night there’s drains that come out of your chin. I know it’s so gross. But the vanity takes over.’ The flame-haired funnywoman – who boasts 4.1M social media followers – posted a clip of her vlog on Instagram and Melissa Rivers commented: ‘You look great!’ Melissa’s late mother Joan Rivers was Kathy’s mentor, and she was always honest about her multiple cosmetic surgeries including a nose job, eye lift, and tummy tucks: ‘I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.’ Griffin – who had half of her left lung removed in 2021 cancer battle – has previously confessed to having her breasts enlarged, a brow-lift, a facial peel, and liposuction (which nearly killed her in 1999). But the Illinois-born comic’s plastic surgery journey originally began in 1986, at age 26, with a nose job. Kathy kicks off her humorously named New Face, New Tour on November 8 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV after concluding her 75-city My Life on the PTSD-List Tour. Griffin still holds the Guinness World Record for the highest number of televised stand-up specials – 20 – by a comedian for any network. The Grammy winner will next voice the character Chastity Piranha in JB Ghuman Jr.’s animated pilot SPoRKartOON – premiering August 24 at the Hop Hop Film Festival in Harlem – alongside Tatum O’Neal, Rosie O’Donnell, and Margaret Cho. On the personal front, Kathy finalized her divorce from Randy Bick on January 13 after nearly four years of marriage, but he signed a prenuptial agreement. Before their 2020 wedding, Griffin and the 47-year-old marketing executive dated for nine years aside from a brief four-month split in 2018-2019. The Unconventional actress divorced her first husband – computer technician Matt Moline – in 2006 after five years of marriage.
