Joan Rivers slams comedian Chelsea Handler as a ‘drunk’ and ‘whore’

Sharp-tongued funnywoman Joan Rivers called late-night talk show host Chelsea Handler a “drunk” and a “whore” during a radio interview with Howard Stern Tuesday.

The comediennes have a history of taking jabs at one another, with Handler telling Stern Monday “What the f–k do I care about Joan Rivers?”

But Rivers, 78, took shots at the blonde TV host one day later, saying Handler “made it on her back, f*cking the president [of E!] … we all know how she got there.”

Rivers was referring to Handler’s relationship with Ted Harbert, former CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, the parent company of E! Entertainment Television where Handler’s show airs. The pair dated from 2006 to 2010.

“She’s fine, she’s ordinary, she’s not a genius,” Rivers added about Handler, 36, appearing on Stern’s show alongside her daughter Melissa, 44.

“She’s a drunk,” Rivers continued, warning Handler, “Don’t you come after me you whore.”

The mother-daughter duo is in New York to promote “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?”, their reality show on WE.

The show’s second season premieres Tuesday night.
