Television personality Kathie Lee Gifford is speaking out about the painful experience of her late husband Frank Gifford’s affair with flight attendant Suzen Johnson, which occurred in 1997. Despite the hurt caused by the affair, Gifford forgave Frank and remained married to him until his passing in 2015.
In a recent interview, Gifford shared that she chose to forgive Frank in order to prevent bitterness from taking over her life. She emphasized the importance of forgiveness in relationships, drawing from her previous experience of forgiveness in her first marriage to Christian composer Paul Johnson, which ended due to irreconcilable differences.
Gifford expressed that she didn’t want to live in a toxic environment and chose forgiveness to avoid harboring hate towards Frank. She detailed her emotional journey in her 2020 book, “It’s Never Too Late: Make the Next Act of Your Life the Best Act of Your Life,” where she opens up about the scandal and the importance of forgiveness in relationships.
The former “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee” co-host reflected on the challenges and struggles she faced in her marriage with Frank after his affair but chose forgiveness as a way to move forward and avoid being burdened by bitterness. Gifford’s candidness about her personal experiences with forgiveness serve as a reminder of the transformative power of letting go of anger and resentment in relationships.
