(10,177 posts)Just because youre a comic doesnt give you the right to ridicule and hurt people without getting criticism for it. Ill never forget how she fat shamed Liz Taylor. Or what she said about Michelle Obama. Its kind of ironic since her own vanity cost her her life.

(1,191 posts)She wasn't having a cosmetic procedure when she died. She was having problems with her throat. An unqualified person was allowed to do part of the procedure, and her oxygen was cut for a time rendering her brain dead.

(2,326 posts)She became a birther, and was doing the crazy Michelle Obama is a man routine.
I ended up disliking her. Sad.

(6,479 posts)She was probably almost 80 in heels and a tight dress being tasked to sell cupcakes on the street in New York.
There she was tottering out the studio door with the cakes to sell them.
I have no clue what happened as I switched to something else.
She seemed eager to do what Trump wanted.
Very sad.

Sorry, but I dont miss her.

I remember her first appearance on the Tonight Show when she was still unknown by most people. She was really funny making fun of social norms that held women back. I thought it was great to have a female comedian speaking for us.
But she became so bitter later that there was no humor in her routines or comments any more.
