After Melissa Rivers was fired from NBC's Celebrity Apprentice and she and mother Joan Rivers both went on tirades.

Daughter Rivers referred to poker player, and fellow contestant, Annie Duke as a "whore pit viper" while mother Rivers referred to Duke and her ilk—that would be poker players—as trash.

"You're a poker player, a poker player!" said an irate elder Rivers.

"That's beyond white trash. Poker players are trash, darling, trash."

Whether she meant it or said it out of anger, Joan Rivers has, in turn, earned the ire of the poker playing community.

"Joan Rivers ain't making any friend among the poker players. Stop badmouthing us Joan!" read an April 27 Twitter post from poker vet Doyle Brunson.

While World Series of Poker commissioner Jeffrey Pollack told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he "resented the comments."

"I think Annie as a participant has played the game masterfully and strategically and is showing the world just how smart great poker players are," Pollack said.

Duke, for her part, was offended with the comparisons Joan Rivers drew between Duke and Hitler.

"There are things you can trivialize and things you can’t. We’re talking about the slaughter of millions of people based on their race and religion. We saw that happen in Rwanda and Kosovo too." Duke told the Poker News Daily.

"This is a problem that everyone should be sensitive to and it's still happening today. It shouldn’t be a Jewish thing or a Nazi thing; it should be a human thing. From the very beginning with the 'Sophie’s Choice' comment to the Nazi comment at the end of the show, Joan has trivialized the events."
