Melissa Rivers reflected on her late mom, Joan Rivers, and her ‘Fashion Police’ legacy
Melissa Rivers knows Fashion Police was must-see TV when her mom, Joan Rivers, was at the helm — but she doesn’t think it would work in today’s social climate.
While Melissa didn’t reveal which trend that she thinks Joan would’ve torn to shreds, she told Us she’s thought on several occasions, “How could we redo this?” and bring back the show. Ultimately, Melissa confessed “there’s no way” to make it happen because of how societal climates have changed over the years.“You would have to qualify everything,” Melissa said of a new show format, joking that the fashion correspondent would say, “Now, I don't think it's my favorite dress.
She noted there is a “fine line” with criticism and people need to know where to stop. That being said, Melissa believes the politically correctness has gone a little overboard. Melissa, who is engaged to Steve Mitchel, revealed that her mom’s strong opinions weren’t only shared on TV. In fact, when it comes to her wedding planning, she said Joan would approve only of her “Save the date” cards so far.
Outside of her wedding, Melissa is honoring Joan’s legacy with several upcoming events. The Dead Funny: A Living Tribute to Joan Rivers Benefiting God’s Love We Deliver event will take place on Thursday, November 7, at the Apollo Theater as the opening night of the 20th Annual New York Comedy Festival.
