Kat Timpf Shuts Down Disturbing Death Rumors Amidst New Motherhood and Cancer Recovery

In a world where misinformation spreads like wildfire, Fox News host Kat Timpf has found herself at the center of a disturbing rumor mill. Recently, she was forced to address false claims about her death, which emerged as she navigates the challenges of new motherhood and cancer recovery. Timpf, who welcomed her first child—a son—just hours after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, has become a target for online trolls spreading malicious gossip.

The 36-year-old Timpf, who recently underwent a double mastectomy, took to social media to debunk the sick rumors circulating on Facebook. One post falsely claimed she had died due to complications from her cancer treatment, while another account inaccurately stated that she had shared the first photos of her newborn son. In response, Timpf tweeted, “Guys, there are lots of fake accounts posting stuff about me on Facebook which is not accurate, including this one that says I died.” She further clarified, “I haven’t shared any photos of my son online. Any photos you see are fake.”

The online vitriol has not gone unnoticed, as Timpf’s fans rallied to support her during this challenging time. Comments flooded in, with many expressing their disbelief at the cruelty of the rumors. “Congratulations on not dying. Hope you have a speedy recovery,” one fan wrote, while another added, “People are so cruel. Hope your recovery is smooth.”

Timpf’s journey has been anything but ordinary. In February, she revealed her stage zero breast cancer diagnosis, which came just hours before she went into labor. In a candid statement, she described the surreal experience of learning about her cancer diagnosis while preparing to welcome her son into the world. “Now, before you worry, my doctor says it’s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread,” she humorously reassured her followers.

Despite the gravity of her situation, Timpf has maintained her trademark humor. She recounted the chaotic day of her son’s birth, where she found herself discussing her cancer treatment with hospital staff just minutes after giving birth. “Should I go with ‘Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer?’” she joked, showcasing her ability to find levity even in the darkest moments.

TIMPF’S HEALTH SCARE

In February, Timpf left fans stunned by revealing she had been diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer.

She learned the diagnosis just hours before she welcomed her son into the world.

Kat Timpf’s full statement

An Unconventional Birth Announcement

Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Now, before you worry, my doctor says it’s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread. Or, as I’ve explained to the few people I’ve managed to tell about it so far: Don’t freak out. It’s just, like, a LITTLE bit of cancer.

Still, it was not a chill day. I mean, to say the least! I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out. I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible. I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around on the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I’d learn at the time of birth was a son.

The good news? People who work at hospitals make excellent audiences for dark humor — and, as someone whose first book was about the power of jokes to get through traumatic situations, there was really no better place for me to be. Just minutes after my boy was born, I was talking with the nurses about what a birth announcement in my situation might look like.

Should I go with “Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer, and then maybe the baby after breastfeeding is stunted by her double mastectomy,” and then shut off my phone for a week?

Anyway! These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated, and I’m still getting used to my new reality. Still, as I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom. I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.

Thank you all for your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter. Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.

Kat

In an Instagram post, Timpf explained her doctor assured her the cancer “almost certainly hasn’t spread.”

“It’s just, like, a little bit of cancer,” she jokingly added.

On top of the new mom responsibilities, Timpf went on to have a double mastectomy as part of her treatment plan.

She has since seen a wave of support from her co-stars and fellow Fox News hosts.

SICK TROLLS

However, she’s also seen plenty of online hate – with some people even commenting on her decision to undergo surgery.

“You do not have to amputate your breasts, especially at stage 0!!” one user wrote.

“I did it just for fun,” Timpf snapped back, answering the criticism with sarcasm.

She also took to Instagram to share an update on her recovery, posting a picture from her hospital room in a gown.

“Post-op!” she wrote before cracking a joke about her boobs.

“They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant.”

In a later post, Timpf shared her humor about the long recovery process.

“Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym it’s OVER FOR U B***HEZ #MILF,” she captioned a photo outside the cancer center.

Her followers responded with an outpouring of support.

“Prayers to you. You’re such an inspiration to all of us,” one wrote.

Timpf’s co-stars, including Jessica Tarlov, also showed their love, commenting that they couldn’t wait for her return to the show.
