Melissa Rivers Fired Celebrity Apprentice; Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers Freak Out (Video)

Last night on Celebrity Apprentice, the shit hit the fan when Melissa Rivers was fired. Check out the video clip – Melissa Rivers stormed out in a snit and refused to be interviewed… and then mama Joan Rivers grabbed her stuff and left too. But first, she gives Brande Roderick and Annie Duke a tongue lashing, calling poker players trash and calling Annie a nazi, telling Brande she won’t win.

What do you think of the way Joan and Melissa Rivers reacted? Did you expect them to blow up in that way – good TV or just ridiculously unprofessional?

I worked with Melissa a few years ago and I’m not surprised at her behavior. She was so rude and was very impressed with her own importance. Very sad when people have to treat others badly to make themselves feel good.

I knew it was just a matter of time before that little brat was going to show her real colors. I hope people have seen enough of this two horrible human beings. If they have not burnt their bridges and lost all their endorsement after this I am very surprised. Hated the “little” bitches behavior from get go. Glad she took the “old bitch with her.
Calling Ann a Nazi, and all poker players are trash?? Few private people donate more money to charities than poker player. Back under the rock , with you!!

Everyone involved needs to remember this is a game. When you get down to this small amount of people that have survived, that are all leaders not followers and the game becomes tougher, and you need tougher skin. The reactions of Melissa and her mother was totally unprofessional in every way. It’s a game to win- and to survive you become a team player and not outcast yourself. From the begining, both Melissa and Joan have created drama…….she got what she deserved at this point

Melissa Rivers show her true colors all through the show. What I have seen the entire show is Melissa insecurities reflected upon everyone else. Refer to high school come on! Grow up. Always looking for praise and when she doesn’t get it whine , whine whine. She mentions how Annie Duke think she is so great But melissa is always ranting and raving about all her expereince. Experience I feel shouldn’t wouldn’t even have if it wasn’t for her famous mother. Joan quitting like that you think she would become stronger and make a point and try and win the game but no she walks off like a prima donna. When Brandee and Annie did give her credit during the last show in the board room for picking out the jewerlry and clothes it seems to go right over her and Joans head. I also beleive Annie s very misunderstood as a person because she is a little more aggressive than the preconceived notion of how women should act she gets a bad rap. She speaks her mine and when she does people can not handle the truth. Go Annie- GO Jesse those are my final picks.

I thought it was absolutely disgusting. Especially at the point when Brande said something to the effect of the whole point of the show is about it being a game to win charities, and Joan Rivers totally rebuked that notion and again launched personal attacks.

It’s disgusting because Brande is playing a game to win money for her charity, as all the rest of the people are, but Meliisa Rivers and Joan Rivers are too occupied with conspiracy theories about who is making personal attacks on who, and, probably stemming from some deep feeling of inadequacy, engage in personal warfare all day long.

Mellisa Rivers has the emotional intelligence of a 14 year old girl, and Joan Rivers has as much class as she does natural facial tissue.

These freaks straight up disgust me.

Yeah by the way I also totally love Annie. She’s not harsh at all, she’s just an honest and analytic person. She isn’t engaging in character attacks or any of that, she’s just responding to the game (this show IS a game to win money for charities, for goodness sake) in the most effective way as possible.

Mellissa River’s may not have been an alcoholic like Rodman was for KOTU, but she’s probably just as bit as disprutive when people are actually trying to get work done. That’s why KOTU didn’t work with Dennis, that’s why Athena usually tries to avoid work Mellisa all the time.

Joan’s comment to Brande about “does this mean that much to you?” and Brande responded “yes, $250,000 for my charity” all I have to say to Brande is YOU GO GIRL!!!! Good for you for sticking up for yourself.

Joan you need to cut the cord and let Melissa grow up. What the hell is Melissa going to do when you die and she can’t ride you skirt tails anymore?

Joan and Mellisa are so misguided about the show they think they are entitle trying to steamroll everybody , on the show frankly i think they are jealous of ANIE and especially BRANDE, as a BLACK man i think using HITLER as a weapon to win an argument is grotesquely wrong it’s not going to work let them pull another card, enough is enough.people are sick and tired of them drawing a parallel with ANIE and hitler .

I agree with Joan … Brande is about as dumb as they come. Brande would have been smart to throw Annie under the bus, b/c then she would have a better chance of winning than Melissa does. Now Brande can watch herself get eaten alive by Annie.
Brande, you are f’ing stupid, just like Joan said.

While watching the show, I felt that Melissa was right. Every suggestion she had, they just ignored her. They got their wish to get Melissa out. I suspect that Annie will turn on Brande soon. I’m just not sure Brande will realize what’s going on, even after she’s thrown under the bus. I would like to see it come down between Annie and Joan. I then hope to see Joan kick butt!

The firing decisions on this show have been very poor and questionable. Firing Chloe because she had a DUI? Firing Melissa when the obvious choice was Brande or Annie? I know see Kramer on the show as a joke. He was very convicted about firing Brande then changed his tune like a canary. So now we have hypocrit judges. As for Donald, his ego couldn’t take Melissa trying to finishs her answr and got his feelinsg hurt ibviously by his expression when she said, ‘Let me finish” His name is Donald Trump but not everything he says and does is right. Point and case with this episode.
