Joan Rivers Speaks Out of Turn at Council Event
Posted by admin under: Community Partners .
Defamer.com has a story that is repeated in many places about how Joan Rivers spoke at the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council’s Women of Distinction Awards on July 30th. While the council stressed that Joan was there to speak about women being successful in the modern world it appears that she lapsed into her comedy habit. As reported by defamer,
But Joan evidently didn’t distinguish herself with some attendees at the Wednesday night function at Rosen Centre Hotel. We hear that she dropped the f-bomb frequently, called women “whores” repeatedly and sounded off on what the Girls Scouts didn’t teach girls.
Rivers cited Paris Hilton, who didn’t earn the “wearing panties patch.”
You’d think that the GSUSA which has been doing such a good job of promoting the Girl Scouts lately would just say, “Whoops. Made a mistake. Not inviting her back”. Nope. From the council’s website,
Based on what was originally arranged with Joan’s people, and based on the fact that this event was exceptionally professional and wonderful in every detail, we completed what we set out to do and that was honor the incredible women in our community and raise funds for Girl Scouting. Please pass this message along to those in our membership who may be concerned.
So, they’re happy with the way things turned out. Wow. I don’t want to be them when they have to reprimand the first girl for cursing during an event or portraying women in a poor light. “Respect myself and others” sounds familiar to me, but has the Orlando council ever heard the Girl Scout Law?
