NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Days before Joan Rivers died her friend of 22-years rushed to her side. Sally Ann Glassman, a voodoo priestess from New Orleans says Rivers spoke to her and was OK with death.
Glassman said Rivers told her, “I’m not going to fight my way back from all this only to have to die again. I’m 81 years old, I’m just going to check out. I’m at the top of my career, I’m at the top of my game. Goodbye.”
Rivers first met Glassman decades earlier when Rivers needed help removing a demonic presences from her New York apartment. The two then became close friends that will last beyond death, Glassman says.
Glassman told WGNO she will still be apart of Joan’s family and help them whenever they need it.
