Toke it out, Joan. |
Hey, that weed smells like… a publicity stunt! Veteran comedian Joan Rivers freaked out some American TV viewers on Tuesday by smoking marijuana on her reality show.
Rivers was shown getting medicinal cannabis from a California dispensary before puffing it from a pipe while sitting in her car with a pal, reports WENN.com.
As the marijuana takes effect, Rivers dissolves into giggles and is driven home by a friend, stopping on the way to pick up burgers and fries.
Rivers’ daughter Melissa was not amused.
“My 78-year-old mother has now become 17, and I have become a soccer mom yelling at her teenage kid,” Melissa groused.
The scenes were broadcast on network WETV’s reality show, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best.
