Chelsea, 36, recalled to Howard on Monday about some jokes Joan, 78, previously made about her.
"Joan Rivers gets up and she's like, 'I'd like to thank Chelsea Handler for giving me a career in comedy and congratulations on your stage Chelsea because I don't even have a dressing room," Chelsea explained on Howard's show. "And I'm like, f*** off!"
What did Joan have to say the next day about Chelsea's harsh words? Even harsher words!
"Number one, the girl made it on her back f***ing the president, we all know that, of the network. Number two, she's fine, she's ordinary. She's not a genius," Joan said.

"She's an ordinary girl that was f**king somebody high up in the industry and they gave her a break and she's doing okay," she continued referencing Chelsea's previous relationship with Ted Harbert, the President of E!.

"So whatever she is, she's a drunk," Joan concluded. "I don't wish her good luck, I don't wish her bad luck," Joan said.
Do you think Chelsea will let Joan have the last word?
