Melissa Rivers understands that fans want to see a revival of The Fashion Policea show her late mother, Joan Riverslaunched in 2002, but she says it will never happen.
“It’s impossible to get it back now,” she told ABC Audio. Rivers explained the humor of the series, where the co-hosts shared their brutally honest opinions when critiquing red carpet outfits, likely wouldn’t go over well in 2023.
Rivers said the hosts will have to make sure their comment isn’t taken out of context and misconstrued as an attack on someone’s physical appearance or character.
“What are you going to do? Say, ‘Well, I’m not saying that the actress isn’t beautiful and amazing and kind to little kids and animals and gives back every day,’ after you say, ‘I’m not sure that’s the point. my favorite thing she’s ever worn.” she scoffed. ‘That’s not fun to hear.’
Melissa, who served as the show’s executive producer, took over for Joan Rivers The Fashion Police after her death in 2014. The show ended in 2017.
Rivers looked back The Fashion Police with happy memories and recalled: “It was comedy, it was fun and it was light.” She also recalled how the cast found it amusing when a celebrity was offended that they didn’t appreciate their look on the red carpet – because they were most likely either paid to wear the outfit in question or were getting it for free.
Rivers also revealed that an unnamed “actress friend” of hers would “actively try and be the best or the worst. [dressed] for she says, “Be that as it may, I will speak of it.”
With the Golden Globe Awards set for Tuesday night and awards season officially kicking off, all eyes are on the outfits this year’s red carpet will bring.
