It’s no secret that the late comedy icon Joan Rivers was no friend of First Lady Michelle Obama. And according to a late interview only weeks before her death, the Fashion Police host banned Mrs. Obama from attending her wake.
In an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, Rivers also banned singer Adele, calling her “fat,” and Chelsea Handler, before calling her a “drunk” and a “whore.”
At a signing for her new book Diary of a Mad Diva at an NYC Barnes & Noble, a reporter asked Rivers about the possibility of the first gay president, where she replied: “We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.” The brash comedienne also directed a barb at FLOTUS, calling her a “tranny.”
These weren’t the first jokes Rivers made at the First Family’s expense.
During an appearance on the Howard Stern Show, Rivers said: “We used to have Jackie O now we have Blackie O!”
Rivers died at the age of 81 after going into cardiac arrest during routine throat surgery. In a recent interview, the actress seemed to expect death, calling it “inevitable” due to her advancing years. She also tried to help daughter Melissa Rivers to come to terms with her impending death.
I reacted the same way that you did when Joan Rivers originally said that nasty comment..but I think Wife Swap changed everything..I also learned that Joan Rivers was a Republican..or as Melissa Rivers said once on their reality show “They are fiscally Conservative but socially liberal”
“Joan was great..still can’t believe she is gone.”
Yep, She will be missed.
Oh well. Just curious.
Whenever I hear “fiscal conservative, social liberal”, I always wonder how they intend to pay for all the liberal social programs.
The actress?
You owe me for a new keyboard. This one just got splattered with Pepsi!
It is interesting that Joan Rivers had her orders together so currently, as to make requests regarding her funeral. I wonder how long she knew among anything that she did not want Michelle Obama at her funeral, and was able to make sure the executor of her estate was well aware of this.
For heaven's sake, every conservative in the public eye gets called all kinds of things. The woman evidently had a change of heart.
