Fox News host Kat Timpf has hit back at an online troll after they commented she is “egocentric” about her breast cancer.

The reporter recently shared she is cancer free following a double mastectomy she underwent in March. Kat has been transparent about her cancer diagnosis and battle especially on her social media. On Friday, June 27, she shared on her Instagram Stories a message from a critic and her comeback to their response.

She shared a screenshot of the person’s comment on a black background, which read, “Sorry Kat, but you are not all that and a bag of chips. I am REALLY HAPPY that you kicked cancer’s butt and that you are a mom; however using it all the time is getting very old. Other people have gone through the very same thing and are very humble. Don’t be so egocentric.”

Kat added her own response in white letters, “PSA: I will likely talk about this for the rest of my life as that is how long it will affect me. Making jokes heals me and I won’t stop doing it. If it offends you that badly, feel free to unfollow me.”

This comes as Kat returned from maternity leave to the panel of the Gutfeld! show on June 16. The 36-year-old had been gone from the show since she gave birth to her son in February. It was after giving birth that she learned hours later on February 25 that she was

diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer. Kat received a double mastectomy a month after her diagnosis.

On her return back to the show, she confirmed that she was “boob-free” and had “cut my t–s off.” “I am cancer-free as well. They got everything,” she continued, to an erupting applause from the live studio audience. “So I’m very excited about it. It was a hard thing to go through, and it still is.”

Kat also shared that she still has upcoming reconstructive surgeries. She reiterated, “Tough thing to go through, easy decision to make because I didn’t want to risk my life over a couple of 32As.”

Kat, who is also a comedian, made a joke pertaining to her double mastectomy on the Gutfeld! Show on June 21. Her co-host and former marine, Johnny Joey Jones, had mentioned in jest that the reason he has a role in the network was because he is a double amputee.

“I mean that’s why there’s a rub here because it’s like [Kat] knows that’s the only reason I have this job to begin with,” Johnny said. “And she’s going to get cancer and take the sympathy card right out from under me.”

Kat quipped back, “Well, yeah! Now you’re not the only double amputee on the show.” Kat was very tickled by her own joke and so were others on panel as well as the audience as they laughed in the studio. She posted the moment on her Instagram on June 21 and captioned it, “Pretty sure this is my funniest joke ever of all time.”
