Lies Joan Rivers Told

I just got back from Coachella an hour ago and I’m already ready to recap it for you. The Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial is in its second week, and Johnny took the stand to answer about his questionable texts, some mentioning how he wants Amber to die. Sheri Papini’s husband filed for divorce after she admitted to faking a kidnapping. Will Smith is on his Eat, Pray, Love journey in life, according to the paparazzi photos in India. Rihanna got dinner with A$AP Rocky in Santa Monica after he was arrested at LAX for allegedly shooting someone back in November. A suspect was found in the case of Madeleine McCann, a four-year-old who has been missing since 2007. The Kardashians are still in court, and things are looking good for them in the case against Blac Chyna. Then Melissa Rivers is here to talk about her life growing up with Joan Rivers as her mother and spills some stories I’ve never heard before, including a juicy cheating scandal! Enjoy!

Great to see Mel…can’t believe Cooper is a college junior. I remember Joan’s line about her grandson calling her Nana Newface🤣🤣

[@fluer6049]

Loved the interview with Melissa. Love that she's old-school because my outlook is: funny is just damn funny & if we can't laugh at ourselves then the world's gotten to damn narcissistic and I don't care to help the world become more narcissistic, so I'm going to laugh my ass off on what I find funny! And referring to Melissa's analogy--we need more square pegs in this depressing round world we're in or we need to start re-shaping this world back to a more square-ish shape! I'm going to get her book and I don't buy 'celebrity books' but I'm curious to explore this 'new genre' of Melissa's, it sounds right up my alley. Hopefully as Heather says, we're re-correcting since the Oscars. Keep up the good work! And laugh away, Annie!🤣

[@underworldguy56]

I don't think people realize that Melissa WAS Fashion Police. She WAS the reality show on WE. During that Joan tried so hard to make sure we knew it was mostly Melissa. I payed attention and I hope most people did too.

Aww Melissa ❤️. I'm currently wearing my dad's tattered sweater as I'm typing this. I like to think of it like him hugging me. I lost him (and my mom) in 2006.

Shein is not a great company. They have had many controversies in the past. They typically steal designer's designs and sell them for super cheap.

[@Caitecakess]

Ughh I love Melissa so much! She’s just like Joan! I miss Joan very much, she was such a star & a breath of fresh air! Great show as always, Heather!

[@CouponFrenzy]

I am favorable to JD because when you hear the way amber is speaking to him (knowing that she is recording it) it makes me wonder how she spoke to him when she DIDN'T record. And there was one recording played where she literally says "I hit you. I didn't punch you. You're not hurt! You're a baby! Oh what are you going to do? Tell the world- as a man - that you are abused??" And he says " yes". Again she's the one doing these recordings. Not him. She clearly pokes him and tries to get a reaction every time she records.

[@candypants6046]

Loved this one! Great interview with Melissa! It made me tear up when she said she sprayed her mothers perfume on her old sweater and wore it to feel better. That's so sad! Makes me want to hug her!!!!

Right?!?! He probably had to take and send the picture of himself to the paparazzi himself. What paps are hanging out in India? 😂

[@jenniferzemlansky7957]

I actually think that he is a victim of spousal abuse too....In the form of f🤬ing with his head and heart ....The more I learn about Jada, the more I realize there are reasons that I never cared for her too much...Not excusing his assault, though.

Amber has a history of domestic abuse. Johnny has never been accused of domestic abuse. She is a vicious awful person. He deserves justice for what she did to him.

Johnny picked this pyscho AH and married her. His sister warned him. He is just as effed up. Both need help. .

[@leoniebrown120]

And this is from a woman. When are woman going to start supporting woman. Do you get that woman die every day at the hands of men? I find it disgusting that you dont believe her. Lack of support are a big contributor to woman dying and being abuse.

"Scamberturd" and "#mepoo" are the funniest things I've seen come from the trial. I'm over it tho, she's the worst. Johnny is not perfect but he didn't deserve that. I belive he would've signed a prenuptial agreement if he was abusive.

Do it now and enjoy every moment of it! Don’t wait for later bc you never know if later will come…. For years now I will wear that dress! I will use my fine china whenever I want to… anything in life! Don’t wait for that special day… EVERY DAY IS A SPECIAL DAY!

Melissa, I enjoyed both of you, and always thought naming your son after your father (I’m getting choked up, it makes me feel of the love and respect you have for your father; you were raised right! There is not enough time to name her witty comments! Two I think of often; on Trump’s show, the one “poker player”, had been really vicious to you both. Your mum looked at her and basically said; “All of you Vegas players are a dime a dozen and they all have one name”!😂 The second, I realize I was, ahem, becoming a woman of age; it was something about the designer of Middleton’s wedding dress, saying he didn’t want Pippa associated with him. Of course he said it with much more venom. I believe Andy Cohen asked your mum about the comment. I don’t remember her quote, but after noting the comment was pretty cruel, Joan said;”but I get it”! I literally peed!!!

Her son Copper, is a nice young man, he truly loved his grandma Joan. But I couldn't help wanting to move Melissa's bangs away from her eyes in this interview. It was making me feel the need to move those bangs, they kept getting stuck in her eyelashes and her eyes. 🤷‍♀
