Griffin swinging into the wind after her birthday /s
Griffen walking into wind and wishing herself Happy 62 Birthday (apparently as encouragement for people struggling with substance abuse, ironic word to use considering that whatever substance she may have had careerwise evaporated like a mirage in 2017 /s)

https://people.com/health/kathy-griffin ... o-scandal/
Following the 2017 incident, Griffin was fired from co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special, investigated by the Secret Service, put on a "No-Fly" list, and saw many of her stand-up gigs canceled and TV opportunities go away.

Griffin looks like a scarecrow after CNN let her go. /s
Good to hear she's coping with her colossal career fail.She wrote that things began to build up as she realized many "old friends" like Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper were distancing themselves, along with the increased backlash from liberals and conservatives.
"It was just too much for me," she stated.

"I started taking any prescription pill I could get my hands on. I was taking a lot of Valium, which is very addictive, and Xanax," the comedian, 62, said. "I then overdosed on June 25, 2020 and went to the hospital on one of those psychiatric holds."
She joyfully depicted her past struggles in a comedic video on her 62nd birthday in November.
"I'm 62 year young today! Her [sic] I am walking against the wind as I have done my whole life.," she wrote alongside a video of her trying to take a picture in the wind.
