LONDON, April 13 (UPI) -- Joan Rivers unloaded on Brigitte Nielsen after the Danish movie star cursed Rivers in Italian and walked off the set of the U.S. comedienne's new TV show.

The studio eruption, which occurred in London, began when Rivers, 71, made derogatory remarks about some former husbands of Nielsen, 41, the Daily Mirror reported Wednesday.

The outbursts by the pair left many members of the audience stunned.

"Joan was bitching about some of Brigitte's former husbands and it didn't go down very well," said one audience member.

"It's hard to tell precisely what the row was about because Brigitte started yelling in Italian. They are both renowned for being outspoken but what was strange was the way the whole thing blew up and then blew over. By the end they seemed to be back on good terms again. To be honest, they are both a couple of nutbags but it was fabulous to watch."

Producers will air the tiff next month.
