AceShowbiz - Joan Rivers endorsed the new iPhone 6 online after she passed away earlier this month. On Friday, September 19, the late comedian's Facebook page sent out a message in which she promoted the new gadget.
"This badass is being replaced by an iPhone 6 (not the fat one)," read the post which is no longer available. A Twitter user managed to screengrab the post and commented, "#iPhone6 so big, Joan Rivers came back from the dead to endorse it."
Rivers passed away on Thursday, September 4 after she went into cardiac and respiratory arrest during a throat procedure in a Manhattan clinic. "My mother would have been overwhelmed by the scope and depth of the love that people have expressed for her. It is certainly helping to lift our spirits during this time," Rivers' daughter Melissa Rivers said on Thursday.
Melissa made her first public appearance following her mother's death on "Fashion Police" on Thursday night, sharing that President Obama quietly offered condolences to her family. "She affected so many people, and people you would never expect to have humor. I received a letter from the White House, from President Obama," she said during the appearance alongside Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos.
President Obama and the First Lady became targets of Rivers' jokes, Melissa explained before adding that she "received a handwritten note saying, 'Not only did she make us laugh, she made us think.' That's one of the things people now are realizing. It wasn't just the funny, she made us think." Osbourne also commented that if it weren't for Rivers, "I wouldn't be able to be me ... any outspoken, independent woman wouldn't be who they are."
