Melissa Rivers ‘threw up’ when she learned of doctor’s selfie with her mother

JOAN Rivers’ daughter “threw up” when she learned her doctor had taken a selfie with her mother on the operating table.

Melissa Rivers was horrified when she learned a physician had taken a picture while conducting a biopsy on the comedienne’s vocal chords and is concerned that the photo of the ‘Fashion Police’ star — who died after suffering cardiac arrest during the routine procedure last September — will one day be made public.

In an interview with ‘ Entertainment Tonight,’ she revealed: “I think the day I found out, I actually threw up. God! It’s so wrong on so many levels, and it actually strikes fear in me that somehow, someday, somewhere, that will get out.”

The 47-year- old producer also recalled her fi nal moments with her mother, who was in a coma for a week before she passed away.

She shared: “They put a cot in the room for me, and I actually slept next to her bed that last night. And then once they removed the ventilator, we knew it would take some time, and I got into the bed with her and held her. We were all there and standing there and I’m holding her and we’re chatting, waiting.

“Finally the doctor says, ‘ Honestly, you guys need to leave the room for a while, because often people won’t allow themselves to start to let go if everyone is in the room.’ So we all took a little break for a second and about an hour after that she passed.” — BANG Showbiz
