Joan Rivers Verbally Assaults A 2 Year Old
In case you didn’t know, Joan Rivers does not want to humor your two-year-old. Joan reportedly gave Brad Tolar and his son a tongue-lashing at the Houston’s Intercontinental Hotel last week, when the man allowed his toddler play peek-a-boo with the waitress taking Joan’s breakfast order.
From PopCrunch:
The waitress thought he was adorable and was playing peek-a-boo with him,” Tolar explains in the Aug. 31 issue of Star Magazine.
Joan wasn’t amused, and at one point, “She turned around and screamed at them!”
This is one of those rare opportunities where we get to explore what happens when the line between celebrity and parenting break down: What do you do when a celebrity yells at your baby?
Your first reaction has to be, ‘this situation is obviously my fault.’ Then, while you sit there and eat your eggs and start thinking about it, and then it starts to fester. What a weird spot to be in. What would you do?
At this point, it seems appropriate to mention that Joan Rivers published a book on parenting called Having a Baby Can Be a Scream… I’ve never read it, so maybe there’s a chapter in there about why its OK to yell at other people’s toddlers for doing something completely harmless during your breakfast at a swanky hotel. I just don’t know.

Brad Tolar commented on Aug 25 09 at 3:14 pmThis bitch was the rudest person me or my wife have ever encountered. The Star article doesn’t give a full picture of what happened. My wife, son and I were the only people in the restaurant for 30+ minutes and all waitstaff there had been playing peek a boo with him. Giving him apples and bananas for kisses. He was having a great time until Plastic Face walked in and said sssshhhhhhhh that sounded like an evil shrill of a witch. I refrained at first but then I had to say something before I exploded so I announced to Mrs. Rivers and her friend that we were there first and if she had a problem with my son she and her friend could go somewhere else to eat. At that point I seen in this bitches eyes; “Oh shit did I land in a red state.” http://www.texashealthinsurancenow.com
