Joan Rivers:Tactless and Rude

Posted by trix

 

Joan Rivers is a tactless broad.

She recently criticized Angelina Jolie for being "stupid" and while her comments might have been in jest or to get a laugh, they were down-right mean.

Who says things like that about people who are clearly suffering?

Yes, Angelina is richer than Croesus, she's beautiful, she has Brad Pitt as her partner in life, and she has six wonderful children. She may appear to have it all, and all the haters are going to say what does she have to worry about? Just this, every woman deals with pregnancy and birth in different ways. Some develop post-partum, sometimes called the baby blues, some lose their baby weight extremely fast some aren't so lucky, but we're all different. We don't know what is going on in that house besides the rumors we hear, give the poor girl a break.

Joan Rivers used Angelina as the butt of her jokes, or her centerpiece for her gags while being interviewed on U.K. TV show GMTV. She told reporters, ""Well, I've worked with stupid actresses - I've worked with Angelina Jolie - she saw a sign that said 'WET FLOOR' one time, and she did!"
"I mean she's attractive, but not a bright girl. Stunningly beautiful but stupid…she would have asked Stevie Wonder, 'What's your favourite colour?'"

I know that a joke is a joke and that's fine, but there is a line between being funny, and being needlessly cruel. Joan must be trying to create drama again, probably because she loved the adrenalin rush she felt when she got kicked off of "Loose Women" for cursing on live T.V.

She has been making jokes like this for 30 years everyone.  These are not new jokes.  I think she first told these in her stand up routine in the 60's with different actors as the punchlines.  Are you people 14 or live in a cave somewhere?

Right, Joan has no new material.  She just changes the names in her routine to currently popular celebrities.  She is mean to everyone.  Why should Angelina be spared?  Are mothers now off limits. Or mothers who have a certain number of kids or have given birth within a specific period of time.  

As for being cruel, gee, you famecrawler people always take the high road, don't you?  No cruel jokes or ugly name calling here.  

Calling her a bad mother or making fun of her kids would have been cruel.  Making stupid jokes about her being a stupid girl isn't cruel.  It isn't funny, but hardly worse than anything I read here.

Funny you should say that because I haven't or try really hard not to make fun of someone when they are sick. Physically or mentally. I would never be intentionally cruel. That's not how I was raised thank you. And yes, I more often than not take the high road or make a joke at my own expense.

I'm not saying that Joan Rivers shouldn't keep doing her schtick. I am saying that the fact that Angelina is under doctors care for a breakdown, or exhaustion or whatever the case may be, anyone under those circumstances should be left alone. I suffered from Post partum and wouldn't have wanted anyone to make fun of me at all and those around me that thought it was wrong stuck up for me. So if it was a joe schmoe down the street, I would say the same thing. If they are sick leave them alone.
