In 2014, Griffin’s older brother, Gary Griffin, passed away after battling stage-four esophageal cancer for two years. The comedian expressed her support for her brother in an Instagram post after his passing.
Griffin made headlines earlier this year for her appearance in a photo shoot where she held a replica of President Donald Trump’s decapitated head, and announced last week she is no longer under Secret Service investigation for the photo.
