Everybody knows Joan Rivers is one tough diva, but her dust-up with the Writers Guild of America pretty much proves it. Rivers is a comic veteran, writer, and entertainer. She’s also a TV personality and host for the “Fashion Police” over on E! Entertainment Television. Working on the “Fashion Police” is how Rivers got in trouble with the WGA. The show writers went on strike last April. Rivers is accused of being a scab for allegedly doing writer’s work. Rivers is a Guild member and is now facing a union hearing on the matter.
Rivers reacted by describing the whole episode as “.. a bunch of bull —t.” Details here.
