Melissa Rivers has written a new book, “Lies My Mother Told Me,” about life with the late mom, comedian Joan Rivers.
She noted that she saw someone on social media ask: “And people wonder how Harvey Weinstein got away with it for all those years?” That was a perfect example of how Harvey got away with it. Nobody did anything!”
“People always say ‘Well, did people get mad at you?'” Melissa admitted. “And we’d be like ‘Yeah, but it’s ridiculous because we’re talking about, first of all, clothing, not about the person.’ And all these women, and now men, most of them now get paid for what they’re wearing, which is a whole other topic.
A semi-regular on “Hollywood Squares” in the 1970s, Joan also began appearing in films and wrote her first book. In 1978 , she wrote and starred in the movie “Rabbit Test,” which was a flop. But nothing could stop Joan.“She always used to say ‘Funny is funny.
Growing up, the one thing banned by Joan and her husband, Melissa’s father Edgar Rosenberg, was “willful ignorance”, Melissa added. “My mother always said she wanted Cate Blanchett to play her, so yeah that would be my first choice, because they’re so similar,” Melissa said sarcastically, laughing, of her five-foot-two mom. “My mother was tall, blonde, WASPy and swan-like, so clearly, one can draw the line.”
