Rihanna's confession she still loves Chris Brown was bound to attract some criticism but who needs enemies when you have friends like Kelly Osbourne?
RiRi's supposed pal has told her to "get a sense of humour" about being beaten up by her ex, following comments made on Twitter by mouthy US comedienne Joan Rivers.
RiRi arrived in London yesterday to discuss her upcoming fashion range with River Island.
Kelly laid into Rihanna after Joan taunted the star following her confession to Oprah Winfrey that she is still in love with Chris.
Joan had tweeted: "Rihanna confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she still loves Chris Brown. Idiot! Now it's MY turn to slap her."
However, Rihanna failed to see the funny side of it replying: “wow u really do get slow when you’re old huh," which prompted Kelly to wade into the argument.
Kelly, who hosts Fashion Police with Joan, backed her co-star tweeting: “With the greatest of respect 2 a young lady of whom I love please get a sense of humour @Joan_Rivers paved the way 4 all us opinionated ladies!”
Joan has since replied to Rihanna's tweets, writing: “Honey, @rihanna, everyone knows: If he hit you once, he'll hit you again. Read the statistics.”
The singer was left bloodied and bruised by Chris after he beat her outside a Grammy Awards party in LA back in 2009.
