Kathie Lee Gifford recently shared a gripping story on the Sage Steele Podcast, reflecting on her career, the loss of her husband, Frank Gifford, and her complex friendship with Donald Trump. She recalled an unsettling incident from 31 years ago when an FBI warning about a criminal targeting her prompted Frank to seek Trump’s help.
Trump ensured Kathie’s safety by providing a helicopter and a security team. Despite not knowing the full extent of the danger, Kathie bravely went on with hosting the Miss America Pageant. The criminal was later captured, and Kathie expressed deep gratitude for Trump’s loyalty.
Kathie also shared moments from her recent life, including her appearance on Today for Hoda Kotb’s farewell. Fans had mixed reactions to her appearance, with some commenting on possible cosmetic enhancements. Kathie also spoke about her weight loss for a movie role and candidly discussed how grief after her husband’s death affected her eating habits. At 64, Kathie embraces aging with gratitude and remains resilient in the face of challenges.
