Joan Rivers is a great comedian but sometimes her jokes miss the mark.
The 79-year-old mother-of-one is catching heat for making nasty fat jokes about respected British singer Adele during a guest appearance on Tuesday night’s Late Show with David Letterman.
Referring to Adele’s song “Rolling in the Deep”, Rivers said the new mom should change the lyrics to her hit song to “rolling in the deep fried chicken.”
UPDATE: Rivers apologizes in a statement to Entertainment Tonight — but only for the offensive remark she made about the Holocaust.
From ET!:
UPDATE: The comedian also came under fire regarding some quips she made about the holocaust in association with Heidi Klum’s Oscars event dress on Monday’s E!’s Fashion Police. Joking of Klum’s skin-baring gown, she said, “The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.”
Rivers released a statement to ET on Thursday in defense of that comment, saying, “My husband lost the majority of his family at Auschwitz and I can assure you that I have always made it a point to remind people of the holocaust through humor.”
When asked if she met the Grammy winning singer at the Oscars, Rivers quipped, “We got along.” She recalled Adele worrying about singing her hit “Skyfall” at the Oscars. “My throat, my throat; I don’t know if I can swallow,” Rivers quoted Adele. Rivers then spread her hands wide apart and said, “Oh, yeah, you can swallow.”

That was funny tho, but perhaps something she shouldve said privately, not publicly. And everyone isnt meant to be stick thin and some people are actually comfortable wit their weight. When was the last time joan felt her face move?
Joan should not be talking about anyone. Sitting up there looking like the Joker’s wife “Wait until they get a load of me”
Joan hates herself so much. She hates herself to the point of desiring mutilation…crazy thing is hollywood got folks minds so warped. Got some thinking normal sized women are HUGE and tiny women are normal sized…smdh….Adele aint even that big

OMG I had to log into to thank ya’ll for the jokes. Was having a crappy day until I read the comments. Joan thought she was hit with hate mail when she went after Rihanna, wait until Adele fans get a hold of her, a mess.
Joan is losing it.
Milky says:
@marquez rubs my bootay all ova you! How u doing today sir?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*whispers to Milky* lets take him to the room and teach him some things!
@milky
wassssuuppp
wife
@beta i worked with a guy who bought in left overs every day n only spent $20 a week besides carfare. He used to put all his checks straight in the bank. Maybe your co worker is trying to save money. Shoot i wish i was a little better with my spending habits. $20 a week is discipline lol
Aint that lady is not trying to save nothing she’s the type that spends 700-800 on her dogs like it’s nothing but complains if her daughter ask for sum
Random shyt one of my coworkers brought some ramen noodles & a can of beenie weenie for lunch today and she ain’t poor before anyone ask
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sounds like she has been at SOME point in her life though
Or else she wouldnt know that is a fiyre azz meal on a budget
Ooooh beta one of those lol. Shoot my mom made me leave her house one day after her dog bit my 2 year old n i threatened it
Joan has a lot of nerve! I can name a few things wrong with her!
The easiest way to spot a no talented “comedian” is when you hear them insulting a fat person yet calling it a joke. It is hurtful but the only way to not let it get to you is to become numb to them. Adele is a very stunning, extremely gifted singer and songwriter. She has solidified her place in musical history and the hearts of many. I love the soulfulness of her voice and her confidence is enviable. I don’t know many skinny people with the confidence and swagger that Adele possesses. Love her and look forward to more extraordinary music!
Joan is using the hell out her ‘I’m-Old-I-can-say-what-I-want-card’.
Didn’t she crack on on Heidi Klum? She something like, “…Tha last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens”
It was sorta of funny, I’m sure the Germans are really angry.
I thought it was funny, im pretty sure Adele will lose some weight when she feels like it.
Has Joan Rivers looked in the mirror lately or does it crack into a skajillion pieces everytime she tries?? She is one to talk about people lookin like Kim Zolciak’s (sp?) mother. She looks like a mannequin. I’ve lost all respect for her; there’s a difference between making jokes about people and just being rude and nasty.
