“I think [my mom’s] feeling would be the same as mine … It’s just really sad and really troubling that she is so unhappy,” Rivers said. “This is someone that we’ve known for so long and been part of our lives for so long on a personal level, your larger concern is that someone is that desperately unhappy right now that they’re lashing out the way that they are.”

“It’s just bad that someone you know is so unhappy,” she added.
Griffin made a bold statement earlier this year when she posed for a photo shoot holding the fake, bloodied, severed head of the president, causing widespread outrage. While she initially apologized for the photo in the midst of losing booked appearances and comedy tour spots, she has since revoked her apologies on at least two occasions, saying she’s not sorry for what she did.
The comedian appeared on Rivers’ show “Fashion Police” for months following the iconic fashion critic’s death in 2015 and hasn’t spoken to Melissa Rivers since.
“It’s not like we talked a lot before, so it’s not unusual,” she said.
