Joan Rivers Defends Alec Baldwin By Dropping Almost Every Slur in the Book

Sometimes you get people willing to stand up and defend you from the haters, and a lot of the time you really wish they didn’t. Case in point, TMZ caught up with Joan Rivers to ask her for her take on the Alec Baldwin MSNBC firing. Rivers said everyone’s just “so damn uptight” about slurs these days, and proceeded to make that point by dropping every single slur she could think of.

When asked by TMZ what she thought of Baldwin’s suspension, Rivers said everyone just needs to relax.

“Everybody’s either a wop, a n*gger, a kike, a chink, a fairy, a mick––everybody’s something, so why don’t we all just calm down?”
