Comedian Joan Rivers is famous for dishing out acerbic celebrity critiques, but apparently, she can't take it as good as she gives. Or, she is trolling all of us with a half-decent PR-stunt that she won't own up to just yet. Rivers awkwardly stormed off of a taped Saturday interview on CNN with Fredricka Whitfield claiming “this whole interview is becoming a defensive interview” and that the line of questioning was too “negative.” Rivers seemed a tad hypocritical, especially considering she has used “date rape” as a fashion compliment and claimed Jennifer Lawrence “has been touched up more than a choir boy at the Vatican." She also reportedly kept on her microphone even after she left the set, "as she continued to talk and dropped some rather unflattering four-letter words," said Whitfield. This perhaps purposeful oversight suggests Rivers was gunning for some extra publicit. She flatly denied that possibility, claiming in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter “I do not do, and never have done, PR 'stunts.'” Okay, Joan.
