Joan Rivers Made a Rihanna-Chris Brown Joke and Everybody Jumped All Over Her, Too

And I say “too,” because it happened just yesterday when Evan Rachel Wood made her “joke” about Miley Cyrus and her “lesbian hair.”

Anyhoo, Joan Rivers saw the Oprah Winfrey-Rihanna interview that everyone’s going all crazy over (seriously, Rihanna says she still loves Chris Brown and was more worried about him after he beat the snot out of her; it’s craziness), and she decided to make a comment of her own on Twitter. This is what she said:

Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it’s MY turn to slap her.

To which Rihanna responded:

CONTROL YOUR SPEECH! #devotionnavy http://t.co/Y3BdgfPU

And in following the link, it takes you to … well, this:

So now Rihanna’s spouting Bible verses to people who say she’s cray-cray for defending Chris Brown to the death (probably hers).

Now, I don’t agree that Joan Rivers was entirely in the right for what she said (because there’s always going to be *someone* who’s offended by an ill-placed “joke”), but really. What does Rihanna expect when she goes public, confirming that yeah, she loves Chris Brown and they’re probably still doing it on the regular? People are going to judge her for her actions, right or wrong. It’s going to happen. “Control your speech” though? Come on. Some might say that, unlike the slap(s) she received from Chris Brown, she might “deserve” those she’d receive from a pissed-off Joan Rivers. Like, you know. Joan Rivers.

  • Go Joan. Rihanna makes me so depressed. I really wish an interviewer would jus straight up ask her what kind of example she thinks she’s setting for all the women in abusive relationships out there.

  • rihanna actual response was “you are getting slow in your old age slap on some diapers ” which garnered more laughs

  • I go with Joan Rivers on this one, Rihanna keeps moaning about her love for Chris Brown, who beat her for a loop so why should I get upset if Rivers makes a joke about someone who wants to go back for more abuse.
