Joan Rivers isn't having a good week. First she called President Obama gay and Michelle Obama a "tranny" in a street interview. Now she's showing that she can dish it out, but she can't take it. In a pre-taped inteview, CNN reporter Fredricka Whitfield called Rivers' show Fashion Police mean spirited, but the legendary comedienne wasn't having any of it.
"These ladies make $28 million a picture. You think Nicki Minaj cares if I don’t like her dress? It’s not about them, it’s clothing," she said. Touché. Whitfield also asked if wearing fur on the cover of her book upset animal rights activists (which is kind of dumb, because basically everything upsets animal rights activists).
"This whole interview is turning into a defensive interview. Are you wearing leather shoes? Then shut up," Rivers replied. She ended up getting so pissed that she walked out of the interview. "You are not the one to interview a person who does humor, sorry."
