Comedienne Joan Rivers was interviewed by CNN regarding her new book, but threw in the towel before the interview was done.

Rivers was speaking with CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield, but became a bit irritated when Whitfield claimed that some of River’s comments on her TV show, Fashion Police, were “very mean in some ways”.

The anchor then continued to press Rivers on her “shock value,” saying that the image of her in a fur coat on the cover of her new book could cause some upset from animal rights activists.
