Joan Rivers Hits Out At Oscar Winner Adele With Fat Jokes - Again



Letterman asked the American television personality what it was like attending Sunday’s Academy Awards, she described it as “a lot of new faces on a lot of old bodies”.

Rivers said she met the British songbird, for the first time, at the Oscars.

“What is her song? Rolling in the deep?” Joan asked. “She should add fried chicken!”

Joan then joked she overheard Adele moaning, “My throat, my throat, I don’t know if I can swallow! I said, ‘Oh, yeah — you can swallow!’”Joan hit back.

However it’s not the first time Rivers has teased the 'Set Fire to the Rain' singer about her weight. When Adele gave birth to her first baby last October, Joan tweeted, @Joan_Rivers: "Congratulations to Adele on the birth of her 68 pound 8 ounces bouncing baby boy." Ouch!


After Adele's music success this season, the mum-of-one is said to be keen on having another child within two years with partner Simon Konecki according to The Daily Star.

A source revealed, "Adele has been telling her friends that she is ready to try for another baby. She loves being a mum and wants two kids to grow two years apart.

ummmm did you read the article? she's talking about not becoming ~sloppy (which is problematic in and of itself but i digress) and gaining weight after the birth of her son (who was born via surrogate), not about gaining weight IN ORDER to conceive.

maybe she has ED issues, maybe she doesnt, that's not really my place to assess tbh, but she did try gaining a bit of weight in order to try to conceive, before ultimately going the surrogate route after IUI/IVF/etc failed. this interview is post her son's birth.

Yes, I did. I know it wasn't about fertility in this case, but what I'm saying is that these statements all add up to someone who has a serious issue with body image.

so your default response to someone who has a serious issue with body image is, in your words, "fuck this bitch"?

k.

No, I think she was making a mockery of the infertility issue by acting as though all she needed to do was gain 5 pounds, but tee hee her job is looking hot, so she just can't do it!

you're just talking about something you know nothing about because she never made light of or a mockery of her infertility issues, in fact she often referenced wanting to get pregnant very badly on the fashion police and displayed a great deal of heartbreak regarding her infertility on her reality show.
