Melissa Rivers on Mom Joan: I Can Feel Her Presence

by Lisa Lozano

When Melissa Rivers stops by to visit Rachael and talk about her late mother, the legendary comedian Joan Rivers, she reveals that she sometimes feels her mother’s presence – but only when she’s doing something her mother wouldn’t approve of!

Melissa laughs as she shares, “This is going to sound terrible, but it’s totally my mother. [I only feel her presence] when I’m doing something [that] I know she would disagree [with]. Like, she always hated when I had bangs. So the other day, I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll cut bangs again.’ And that night, I could hear her, ‘No bangs!’”

Rach and Melissa, joined by fitness expert Bob Harper, also chat about Joan’s star-studded and boundary-pushing funeral, as well as whether Melissa will take the hosting reins on her E! series Fashion Police.
