Dr. Oz took the conversation in a deeper, more serious direction when he asked Joan why she made the controversial movie about her husband’s suicide. Joan and Melissa Rivers starred in the movie as themselves and it was the first time anyone had dared to bring up such a personal topic.

Joan said the critics ripped her apart for doing a movie about suicide but she received bags of letters every day from people who wanted to thank her for making a movie about suicide. Through tears, Joan Rivers told Dr. Oz about the time, almost 21 years ago, when someone called her home and told 16-year-old Melissa her father had committed suicide. She told Dr. Oz it angered her and upset her that her daughter was the one that had to tell her, but also because of how devastating the suicide was for her daughter.

Joan said most people say they are sad when someone commits suicide, but she told Dr. Oz she was angry towards her husband for what he had done and what he left her to deal with. She said it was a truly difficult time for her family but they were able to make it through by using humor to lighten the situation.

About Corey Gibson

After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Journalism and Anthropology, I managed a pizza place for a year, while freelancing for various newspapers in the area. Working every weekend in sauna like conditions, never being able to take a day off and being covered in flour is something I will not miss. I hope Recapo has air conditioning.
