Joan Rivers made some questionable jokes about Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, and is not apologizing for it.

“They got to live rent free for more than a decade,” says Rivers.

Amanda and Gina’s attorneys responded to the public commentary saying that the women are owed a sincere apology for Rivers’ “hurtful” and “shocking” comments.

On Tuesday, April 22, on the Today show, Rivers was asked about her daughter’s guest room where she’d been staying. In her answer, Joan compared it to Ariel Castro’s Seymour Avenue home where Berry, DeJesus and Michelle Knight were found after being held hostage for more than 10 years.

“Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space,” Rivers replied.

TMZ reports that Joan says she will not apologize and that the women should lighten up, adding,  “One of them has a book deal.  Neither are in a psych ward.  They’re ok.  I bet you within 3 years one of them will be on Dancing with the Stars.”

And Joan went on to say that plenty of comedians have done skits about tragic events like Hitler’s terror and the sinking of the Titanic.  Joan says, “The TV the guy gave them must not have had SNL.”
