Joan Rivers will not lighten up on Adele's body. She recently took a jab at Adele's weight on several occasions and she doesn't seem to be sorry about it.
Rivers recently appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman and discussed how she met Adele at the Academy Awards, US Weekly reports. She made a gesture with her arms, mocking the 24-year-old singer's size and said, "She was very scared because she was singing at the awards. She kept saying, 'My throat, my throat -- I don't know if I can swallow,'" Rivers said on the talk show. "And I said, 'Oh, yeah! You can swallow."
During a HuffPost Live interview on March 29, Rivers was asked to explain her jab but she didn't seem too remorseful over making the comment, as she simply added to them.
"It's not mean. She's a chubby lady who's very, very rich, and she should just calm down -- or lose weight! She wanted an apology, so I took an ad out on her ass. I said, 'You are not fat.' And then I had room for a lot of other ads," Rivers said. "Adele is beautiful and successful and has what, $100 million? Let's face reality: she's fat!"
This isn't the first time the 79-year-old comedian poked fun at a celebrity's body. She first did it back in 1985 during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. She called out the tv host for gaining 50 pounds and said, "You shouldn't let that happen to you," she told Winfrey. "You're a pretty girl and you're single. You must lose the weight!
She also attacked Christina Aguilera following her flub while singing the National Anthem at the 2011 Super Bowl. "She looked like a pig. How stupid can you get?" Rivers said. "Christina must have been thinking about food. That's why she forgot the words."
Rivers didn't feel to bad about that comment either. Aguilera confronted Rivers, which she comedian made a joke out of.
"I'm at Spago's with [my daughter] Melissa, and we're eating dinner," Rivers recalled during a June 2012 interview on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, "and Fatso is across the way, and she comes lumbering over with that no-neck look. And I go, 'Here it comes.' She comes over to my table and says, 'You gonna finish that?'"
