Just days before she and Randy Bick celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, Kathy Griffin filed for divorce.
According to TMZ, Griffin filed their divorce papers on Thursday, December 28 in Los Angeles County, citing irreconcilable differences. It was revealed in the documents that she and Bick had a prenuptial agreement, which she is pushing to have enforced in court. This is to ensure that she does not have to deal with owing spousal support to her soon-to-be ex. She listed December 22 as the official date of separation.
The former couple does not have children together. They were together from 2012 to 2018 before reconciling in 2019. They married at Griffin’s home on January 1, 2020. The ceremony was officiated by fellow comedian Lily Tomlin.
Kathy Griffin apparently spoke out about the news by posting on her X account (formerly Twitter). “Well… shit,” she wrote. “This sucks”.
Her X followers quickly responded with encouraging comments. “I’m so sorry to hear this,” one follower wrote. “Sending you lots of love.”
Another follower added: “Sorry babe! You know you will suffer, survive, and then thrive. You have been an inspiration to many! Wishing you all the best.”
Bick is Kathy Griffin’s second husband. She was previously married to Matt Moline from 2001 to 2006.
Kathy Griffin battled lung cancer shortly after marrying Randy Bick
Shortly after she and Randy Bick exchanged vows, Kathy Griffin announced that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
In an August 2021 interview with ABC News’ Juju Chang, Griffin opened up about the diagnosis and other complications in his life. “Whether I like it or not, I think I’m a resilient survivor,” she told Chang.
Before lung cancer, Kathy Griffin had also been dealing with drug and alcohol abuse. It all started after her infamous Donald Trump photoshoot. Before the incident, she had never drank, but eventually turned to pills to manage the consequences.
“I thought, ‘Well, I don’t even drink… Big deal, I take a couple of pills every once in a while, who doesn’t?’” he explained. “Plus, my age was a big part of it. I mean, who hits rock bottom and tries to kill themselves at 59 years old? It’s almost a joke, right? And by the way, someday this will all be comedy.”
Despite the situation, Kathy Griffin was able to overcome the abuse. That’s when she discovered a tumor in her lung. “The irony is not lost on me that, just over a year ago, all she wanted was to die. And now, all I want to do is live.”
