title: Melissa Rivers Opens Up About Mom's Death

text: For the first time since her mother Joan died on Sept. 4, Melissa Rivers spoke publicly about the comedic legend.

"For me the last three months and six days -- not that I’m counting -- have been different to say the least,” she said during The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Breakfast in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Rivers remembered her mother as "fearless."

"I don’t mean she didn't have any fears," she said. "I mean that although she was only 5-foot-2, she stood tall and walked through them. ... She was willing to say what others were thinking and too frightened to admit. She never apologized for a joke and no topic was taboo and she was fine with that."
