Joan Rivers and Chelsea Handler are in a major feud and Howard Stern is caught in the middle, having hosted the women on his radio show in successive days.
Yesterday, in the same interview in which she recalled dumping 50 Cent, Handler was reflecting on her ongoing feud with Rivers. Chelsea’s take, in a nutshell:
“What the f**k do I care about Joan Rivers? I don’t think about her ever.”
According to Joan, the discord began which she claims Chelsea ignored her efforts to say hello at an E! function and was outright rude to her and her daughter.
Handler claims Rivers started the feud by making harsh remarks about her in a speech for no reason, unprovoked. It’s unclear what she said allegedly.
In any case, Joan appeared on Stern’s Sirius XM show Tuesday morning with daughter Melissa Rivers and went off on Handler, calling her unfunny and worse.
Specifically, she alluded to Chelsea’s relationship with E! CEO Ted Harbert.
“Number one, the girl made it on her back f**king the president, we all know that, of the network. Number two, she’s fine, she’s ordinary,” Rivers told Stern.
“She’s not a genius,” Joan said. “She’s an ordinary girl that was f**king somebody high up in the industry and they gave her a break and she’s doing okay.”
“Whatever she is, she’s a drunk. I don’t wish her good luck, I don’t wish her bad luck. I don’t think she’s funny. But don’t you come after me, you wh*re!”
Are you Team Joan or Team Chelsea?
