Joan Rivers blasts Cleveland ‘house of horrors’ vics: ‘They got to live rent free for a decade’
Joan Rivers has no sympathy for the women locked in Ariel Castro’s Cleveland “house of horrors.”
One day after Rivers compared on the "Today" her daughter’s cushy Malibu guestroom to the three women’s decade-long plight — “Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space” — she doubled-down Wednesday on the inappropriate joke and called the victims freeloaders.
“They got to live rent free for more than a decade,” a defiant 80-year-old Rivers told TMZ on Wednesday.
The TV host and reality star brushed off the “little, stupid joke” on Wednesday, telling the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “I’m a comedienne.
“There is nothing to apologize for. I made a joke. That’s what I do. Calm down. Calm f------ down. I’m a comedienne. They’re free, so let’s move on,” Rivers told the newspaper.
The comments Tuesday drew grimaces from the “Today” hosts, prompting Rivers to ask, “Too soon?”
For the women, it was. Attorneys for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, two of the former captives freed May 6, called the “unfortunate comparison” both “shocking and disappointing."
“Our clients are strong, private women who have endured unwanted and often painful media attention for quite some time,” lawyers James Wooley and Heather Kimmel wrote in a statement. “They now have to endure this, which is a new low, and we believe a sincere apology is warranted.”
Rivers refused to apologize, telling TMZ the women are practically celebrities.
“One of them has a book deal. Neither are in a psych ward. They’re OK,” she said. “I bet you within 3 years one of them will be on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”
NY Daily News
What a disgusting and despicable thing to say!
Im not sure if it was this interview or another one since I didn't see this one. But she mentioned the ratings being low for her show. Not surprised there.

She always takes it too far. I don't really care what she says about celebrities because that's part of their job, to be in the spotlight. But when she does stuff like this, it turns my stomach. Totally out of line.
But she's never going to apologize. I don't think I've ever heard her apologize for a joke, no matter how tasteless it is.

Some things you just shouldn't make jokes about. That was one of them. Tasteless.

What a stupid *****! Are you kidding me!? That is supposed to be funny?? Oh we should get over it those women are free now!? Yea they may be free but they will live with that the rest of their lives! How the hell would she feel if her daughter was raped and beaten over and over. And then punched in the stomach to abort a baby!! She is a disgusting pig! Shame on her and her comments! SMH!!

If no one is laughing, it isn't a very good "joke."
The only joke in this scenario is Joan Rivers.

I hope the end result of this is that she finally packs it in. No viewers, no advertisers, bye, Joan! She's been awful for a long time now, old, bitter and ugly - inside and out.

Joan has yet to apologize, meanwhile The Today Show just profusely apologized for her comment.

Ooooooof. It takes A LOT for a "celebrity" to offend/disgust me with something they say. I'm speechless.
She's a colossal assshole.

She is digusting. I can't even stand her. I've watched her a few times on fashion police and I have never found her jokes funny.

She's a comedienne who makes off-color jokes. I happen to like her sense of humor.
This joke was done in poor taste, but it is Joan, and she is known for these types of outlandish comments.

Re: Joan Rivers blasts Cleveland ‘house of horrors’ vics: ‘They got to live rent free for a decade’
She's very polarizing - people either love her or hate her guts, and I completely understand why -
I'm not offended by anything really, so I think she's hilarious.
However, I think her jokes were totally and completely inappropriate for her audience on that show ........
She wasn't in a place where her 'fans' had come to see her do her thing and expect her to be obnoxious and crude - She was on a morning show that's syndicated all over the world - it was not the time or place for such an off color joke.
I don't think her poor judgement makes her a disgusting human being

Re: Joan Rivers blasts Cleveland ‘house of horrors’ vics: ‘They got to live rent free for a decade’
While I wouldn't say I am offended, because not much really offends me, watching her say it in that interview was SOOO awkward.
Even her daughter looked appalled.
I was more embarrassed than anything else.
That was just bad.

She knew exactly what she was doing. Just like they said in the beginning of the segment, she was trying to drum up attention for her show. She wanted media attention and she got it. As she gets older, she is becoming more desperate for attention.
I hate the whole "I can say anything I want because I'm a comedienne. Free speech!" rationale. It's called tact and just because you CAN say anything doesn't mean you should. And I'm one of those that finds even the most offensive jokes funny, but I don't find this even remotely okay. She's pathetic.

I completely agree! I don't watch her show, but I have enjoyed her on Fashion Police for many years. Yes, she is not politically correct, but that's what her fans love about her...
Also, if I understand correctly, one of those women just got a book deal. I say once you sell your story to the media, you have no right to get offended! And it seems that those who ARE getting offended are not even the women themselves: it's the people who have never been Joan's fans anyway...
