In an interview with Stern, Rivers pushed the conversation to its bizarre endpoint, saying that Dunham is “sending a message out to people saying, ‘It’s OK! Stay fat! Get diabetes. Everybody die. Lose your fingers.”

As for that Vogue cover, Rivers said: “She was on Vogue’s cover looking gorgeous. You didn’t know it was her.” She said Dunham shouldn’t have appeared on the cover because she didn’t deserve it based on her physical appearance.
