According to National Review, the article “left out relevant details” of a Title IX case involving sexual harassment of University of Missouri students.
According to Timpf’s story, a female student had complained about unwelcome advances because the person making the claims was bigger than she was.

When Kat joked about Jimmy Kimmel’s decision to take a break and spend time with his family in June 2020, she offended a lot of people.
She implied that taking care of her cat was more difficult than taking care of Jimmy’s child when she said, “It’s a lot harder to hold down a cat than a kid.”
The comment received a lot of backlash. Jimmy answered back, reminding her that a cardiac condition had been identified in his child.
Timpf expressed regret to Kimmel and all Americans. She claimed she didn’t know the child had a cardiac ailment and had made a lighthearted remark.
