Joan Rivers: 'Kristen Stewart is suing me for joking about affair'
Kristen Stewart is reportedly threatening to sue Joan Rivers over comments made about her affair with director Rupert Sanders.
The Twilight actress is said to be unhappy with comments made by Rivers in her latest book Diary of a Mad Diva.
In the book, Rivers writes: "Many stars only do one thing well. Of course, the best one-trick-pony is Kristen Stewart, who got a whole career by being able to juggle a director's balls."
Rivers told TMZ: "I am now being sued by Kristen Stewart. She obviously didn't read our disclaimer, which says it's a comedy book. I can't wait to get her into court because I'm gonna get a puppet and I want her to show me on the puppet where she thinks I claim she touched her director. I am looking forward to it."
The 81-year-old continued: "Her lawyer contacted my lawyer, which shows the sense of humor she has. My answer to her was, 'Be glad you're not a Kardashian because they're mentioned a lot more in the book'.
"I'm a comedian. I've been doing it for 50 years. If people don't get it, then don't come and see me. It's okay. Don't read the book. If you're gonna take it seriously, you're a fool."
It emerged in July 2012 that Stewart and Sanders had embarked on an affair while working together on Snow White and the Huntsman. Both parties issued apologies when photos of them together were made public.
The affair led to model Liberty Ross divorcing Sanders, while Stewart's relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson also came to an end.Source
