Kathy Griffin's Bold New Look: Taming the Wild Hair!

Kathy Griffin changed up her appearance again this week after debuting a shockingly new look the week before

Kathy Griffin's Shocking Transformation: Has She Had Enough of Hollywood?

In a stunning turn of events, 64-year-old comedian Kathy Griffin has undergone yet another dramatic transformation. Just last week, she was spotted in Los Angeles without her signature bangs and sporting a mostly makeup-free face. The usually fiery redhead looked almost unrecognizable, but on her latest outing with her trusty service dog by her side, she bore a stronger resemblance to her usual self.

However, despite donning a bit more color on her cheeks, Griffin's face looked alarmingly tight as she took a leisurely stroll around town. Fans and followers are left wondering if this is just another attempt at a new look or if something more serious is going on behind the scenes.

Earlier this month, the 64-year-old comedian was spotted out in LA without her standard bangs and with a mostly makeup-free visage as her red hair fluttered wildly in the breeze

Griffin has been keeping a relatively low profile since undergoing a hysterectomy in early April. The surgery, which involved removing her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to prevent a possible recurrence of cancer, has left many speculating about its effects on her overall health and well-being.

But Griffin's latest look is not the only thing that's been making headlines. Her long-standing feud with late-night host Stephen Colbert continues to simmer, with Griffin accusing him of ambushing her during a 2018 interview on his show, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

"I was completely exonerated by the Secret Service after my infamous photo controversy," Griffin explained in an exclusive interview on her YouTube show Talk You Head Off. "But despite that, Colbert persisted in grilling me about it, making me feel like I was under some kind of microscope."

Griffin almost looked like a different person on the outing, but she bore a stronger resemblance to her usual self on her latest sighting as she took a walk with her service dog

Griffin alleged that Colbert's producer defended his actions with a bizarre explanation: "He just can't get over [the photo]," the producer supposedly said, before adding, "Stephen's really Catholic." Griffin was left baffled by this non-sequitur and shot back, "I don't think I've ever seen him treat any of the guy comics like this."

The controversy surrounding Griffin's bloody Trump mask photo has been a contentious issue for years. After being booted from co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve coverage with Anderson Cooper, she sparked outrage once again by sharing a video of four fiber-art portraits of billionaires Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and the current president, all with red yarn dangling from their heads to simulate blood and flesh.

The latest installment in Griffin's ongoing saga has left many wondering if this is finally the end of her tumultuous career. Has she had enough of the Hollywood spotlight, or will we see more of her fiery persona in the future? Only time will tell.

Despite that, her face looked particularly taut as she got some exercise around town

But for now, fans can't help but speculate about Griffin's health and well-being after her recent surgery. Will she continue to push boundaries with her art and activism, or has this latest transformation marked a turning point in her life?

Stay tuned for more updates on Kathy Griffin's shocking transformation and the drama that continues to unfold!

Although she was lambasted in the comments on TikTok, the controversy had a smaller tail than in 2017, and its unclear if Griffin made the bloody portraits or was simply sharing another artist's work
