It’s no secret that the late comedy icon Joan Rivers was no friend of First Lady Michelle Obama. And according to a late interview only weeks before her death, the Fashion Police host banned Mrs. Obama from attending her wake.

In an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, Rivers also banned singer Adele, calling her “fat,” and Chelsea Handler, before calling her a “drunk” and a “whore.”

At a signing for her new book Diary of a Mad Diva at an NYC Barnes & Noble, a reporter asked Rivers about the possibility of the first gay president, where she replied: “We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.”  The brash comedienne also directed a barb at FLOTUS, calling her a “tranny.”

These weren’t the first jokes Rivers made at the First Family’s expense.

During an appearance on the Howard Stern Show, Rivers said: “We used to have Jackie O now we have Blackie O!”

Rivers died at the age of 81 after going into cardiac arrest during routine throat surgery. In a recent interview, the actress seemed to expect death, calling it “inevitable” due to her advancing years. She also tried to help daughter Melissa Rivers to come to terms with her impending death.
