Joan Rivers is out of intensive care, Melissa Rivers says
Joan Rivers has been moved out of an intensive care unit in New York City and is “being kept comfortable,” in a private room, her daughter, Melissa Rivers, said today in a statement.
Melissa Rivers went on to thank people for their support since her mother, the 81-year-old comic and TV personality, was said to have gone into cardiac arrest on Thursday morning after she stopped breathing during an outpatient throat procedure at a doctor’s office.
On Tuesday, Melissa Rivers said her mother was still on life support and the E! network announced it was putting the show “Fashion Police” on hold for a couple of weeks.
“We will not be producing a ‘Fashion Police’ this week or next as we await Joan and Melissa’s return in front and behind the camera,” a network spokesperson said Tuesday.
