Kelly Osbourne backs Rivers in Rihanna row
Kelly Osbourne has waded into the Twitter war of words between Joan Rivers and Rihanna by defending her Fashion Police co-host.
Rihanna took aim at the comedienne over the weekend (25-26Aug12) after Rivers mocked the pop star over remarks she made about her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown during a recent candid TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Umbrella hitmaker broke down in tears during a chat with
Winfrey for her OWN network show earlier this month (Aug12) when
she admitted she still loves her ex-boyfriend, who was charged with
assault and placed on probation after he beat her in 2009.
The comment irked Rivers, who took to Twitter.com to call the star
out on her confession, writing, "Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey
that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap
her."
Rihanna quickly retaliated, replying, "Joan_Rivers wow u really do
get slow when you're old huh?", before adding, "Slap on some
diapers."
River then tried to make amends by inviting her on her show Fashion
Police, writing, "Honey, Rihanna, everyone knows: If he hit you
once, he'll hit you again. Read the statistics. PS - Love to have
you on Fashion Police!"
And now Osbourne has backed up her pal, writing, "W/ (with) the
greatest of respect 2 a young lady of whom I love please get a
sense of humor @Joan_Rivers paved the way 4 all us opinionated
ladies!"
