Joan Rivers Not Sorry for Joke About Women Held Hostage in Ohio
No remorse.
Joan Rivers made a horrible joke during an appearance on the Today show Tuesday, April 22. She compared her daughter's Malibu guestroom to the house in Cleveland, OH where the three women who had been kidnapped were held at.
"Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space," the 80 year-old comedienne said.
Attorneys for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus said in a statement that the women are owed an apology. "Our clients are strong, private women who have endured unwanted and often painful media attention for quite some time. They now have to endure this, which is a new low, and we believe a sincere apology is warranted."
Rivers, however, doesn't feel that she owes them an apology because it was a little stupid joke. She told TMZ that they shouldn't complain since "they got to live rent free for over a decade."
"One of them has a book deal. Neither are in a psych ward. They're OK. I bet you within three years one of them will be on 'Dancing with the Stars."
