Joan Rivers is being criticized after making a crude joke about Rihanna and Chris Brown’s turbulent relationship. Earlier this month, Rihanna revealed to the world that she’s still in love with her ex that brutally attacked her on a February 2009 night. Some praised Rihanna’s openness, while others, such as Rivers, loathed it.
“Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it’s MY turn to slap her.”
That bit about slapping didn’t sit well with Rihanna who responded by tweeting:
“CONTROL YOUR SPEECH!”
She also accompanied the line with a passage from Proverbs 15:4 titled, “Control Your Speech.” Rihanna’s fans also took Rivers to task on Twitter, with some writing things like:
“I bet your brain is made of plastic too, @Joan_Rivers,” and “Rihanna would slap you back, the only difference is that your face would fall right off.”
Joan is a comedian who has made a living off crude jokes, but do you think this one has crossed the line?
