I think your problem V is that you're too taken in by surface beauty.

I'm old enough to have actually watched this telecast back in 1986, and when Vanity made that crass racist remark about her dad being a gorilla because he was Black (5:35), the following day all hell broke loose. DJs at Black stations across the country lambasted her over the air and some vowed never to play her records again (and didn't). Black folks everywhere were in an uproar and understandably so. She tried to exculpate herself in Jet magazine by saying that she loves gorillas and even sported a gorilla fur coat, but no one bought it, knowing that it was B.S. Many believe that the controversy over this racist remark was what led to the downfall of her recording career.
I remember on video soul she made a similar comment about a fur coat from africa when donnie simpson ask where she got that coat she said africa you can't get any blacker than that I knew what she was getting at
Vanity seems so animated. I felt so scared for her. The guy next to her kept touching his nose and I am not sure what that really means. Was he saying she is stuck up? or using coke? Not sure but it was odd and seems disrespectful. She said that her mom loves gorillas she married my dad and he's black....I thought that was weird too. I guess she was high.
Yes, he was insulting her with that coke snorting gesture. Unfortunately at the time Vanity was known for her abuse of drugs especially throughout her relationship with Rock Star Nikki Sixx.
@@maximusprime3459 Life is so difficult, who wouldn't want to numb themselves?

Oh well, she's in no pain now, and her earthly suffering has reached its final conclusion.
@@aavalestormiconicperformerI can't say she had been using here because her demeanor was like a black Marilyn Monroe anyway. I'm sure they didn't judge Monroe like that. I don't know why some people think a drug user is beneath them. When lying, backstabbing, gossiping, adultery, whoremongers etc . is bad also. I say examine yourself. Before you throw stones at others.She remained the beautiful inner woman she was. But changed to being a drug free woman of God. The ones that condemned her probably continued in their evil ways.
She's dressed like a straight up witch. Does not appear to be high on coke really at all. That coke from the 80s would of had her looking some kind of way in her interviews but I dont see it.
She was known at the time thru many industry circles as Nikki Sixx's drugged out fiancee, even tho they were *both* using during their relationship. She may not have been using here particularly but the disrespectful coke snorting gesture that hack comedian is making is his way of snitching to the audiance that Vanity is "wired" or high.
@@aavalestormiconicperformer He didn't even get half the crowd reaction at the end that Denise did, so it shows that hardly anyone found him particularly funny.
1:04 I like how Joan acted all caring and maternal there, whereas when Denise was a Christian on her show six years later, Joan pulled that trick on her with the stripper, and revealed in the end that she had no intention of listening to Denise whatsoever.
Does anyone ever remember a late night interview she did where she has on a silver or gray outfit with a crown of grey or white feathers and the guy with her poured water on himself?

"I always had a thing for gorillas too." The audience laughs but is not sure if they realize what they're laughing at! She even goes back to her father and makes him look like a cheat but talking about him being a "busy man," he's dead but he watches over me.

Wow, unreal!😣 It Makes you wonder if the gorilla remark was her way of expressing that she was ashamed of being half black. So distasteful and sad, but I heard she had a huge drug problem, as she once said. She eventually cleaned herself up and became a minister before she died. So God rest her soul and everyone deserves a second chance if they truly want it and try to get it. Hopefully, after she got clean, she realized how that wasn't just offensive and disrespectful to her father and other black people but she disrespected herself as well, after all, she's black too, even though only half.🤔 I like how Joan Rivers just went on past that!

What this was about is that she didn't see herself as Black but as "bi-racial," which she thought put her in another race category, which of course isn't the case. Interestingly enough, she became much darker as she got older, so I guess the "gorilla" side of her took over.

Whoa that’s an ugly comment. Like is she angry w her dad idk that gorilla comment was wild. Reading the comments saying that led to her demise makes some sense.
Her father was the cause of much of her pain and problems he molested her for years and physically abused her on a daily basis until he died when she was 15 years old
