Jeanine Pirro is known for her fearless voice and unshakable convictions on television. But beyond the headlines, the former judge and Fox News host has quietly faced hardship, heartbreak, and health battles and emerged even stronger.
A silent battle with cancer — and one final race to say goodbye
In 2012, Pirro received a life-changing diagnosis: cancer. But she kept it private for years, even anchoring her show wearing a wig and without eyebrows or eyelashes during chemotherapy
“You didn’t know about it,” she later told viewers. “But I was there, every week.”
Her strength was matched by her deep devotion to family. In 2019, when her mother became gravely ill with pancreatic cancer, Pirro raced to visit her and was pulled over for driving 119 mph on the way. She later explained, “I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving. I believe in the rule of law, and I will pay the consequences.”
Her mother, Esther Ferris, passed away later that year. “She’s too much concerned about me,” Ferris had told reporters. That kind of selfless love runs in the family.

One line, shared by the family, immediately spread across social media, stopping people mid-scroll and leaving thousands in tears.
