Joan Rivers Curses on Live TV

[Video is NSFW]

Joan Rivers issued an apology, of sorts, for dropping the F-bomb and a scatological reference in the same breath on a live British TV show.

“Yes, I swore, and I’m so f—— sorry.”

Well dang Joan… that makes it all f—— better, thanks for that.

Rivers went code blue when she was asked about the challenges of interviewing celebrities on the red carpet. She said, “Get ready to bleep this,” before using the offending words while talking about Russell Crowe.

Only the show didn’t bleep it… it was LIVE!

“We do apologize for that,” the host said into the camera. “Joan didn’t realize that we were absolutely live.”

Rivers, who was promoting her live show Joan Rivers: A Work in Progress By a Life in Progress, which will open the Edinburgh International Festival in August, was then asked to leave the set during a commercial break.

“No one told me the TV show Loose Women was a reality show and that I would be voted off,” said she later in her statement. “It’s funny: offstage, I hardly ever use profanity. My favorite four-letter word is ’shop.”

Nobody ever said this woman had any class… whatsoever. I wonder if they have strict FCC-type laws in Britain?
