Griffin seems to be taking her separation from Bick in good spirits, as she just took to social media to react to the news of their divorce making headlines.
The comedian shared a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that read, “Well…sh–. This sucks.”
In her divorce filing, obtained by The Blast, Griffin requested that the court terminate spousal support and enforce their prenup. Since the pair had no kids during their marriage, there would be no legal battle over child custody.

Another said, “I’m so sorry Kathy. You guys have been through a lot together. I know your friends will be there for you and that it is as amicable as a parting can be.”
“I don’t know you but have been following your career since the 90s, and consider myself a fan. I am sorry to hear about your divorce. I hope it was nothing shady like with the previous husband. Good luck, I know this must be hard to go through in the midst of a big tour,” said a third fan of the star.
