Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

She does not know how to just ZIP IT. Comment about Lena D.'s Weight was just wrong.

Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

It was a JOKE...on a comedy radio show!

Was she supposed to say something serious? To Howard Stern???? He criticizes Lena on a regular basis.

Lena is a performance artist when it comes to her body/weight.

I found the show where she danced around at camp in the green bikini very uncomfortable to watch...which was the effect she was going for.

She wears couture and purposefully makes sure the clothes are too tight and not very attractive. She said as much in her Vogue interview.

Lena is going for a different aesthetic.

For all of you perfect people .... this is her job ... this is Joan. There has been worse said on these threads. At least she gets paid for being rude.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

I heard it on Stern on Monday. So yeah... shes not even funny any more. I only hope Lena goes off on Melissa. Thats what really gets Joan in a tizzy.

Hey, its only comedy, right?

What she said about a pregnant woman at the Academy Awards was horrible..referring to her as having a 'beer belly.' Joan Rivers has no filter and her so-called jokes are not funny.

Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

I always find it a bit ironic that we have threads going about bullying and yet some of us give Joan a free pass for basically denigrating another woman because of her weight. Some will say it is just for laughs and fine but then there are some of us who find her humor offensive.

How do we teach our children that it is wrong to call out people for their weight when we give a free pass to adults who do it. And there are plenty of ways to be funny without making fun of a person's size....good comediennes don't need to make cheap shots.

Exactly! What does it say about us (us in general as a society) if she makes her living doing this?
