Joy Behar is a long-time co-host of the iconic television show The View, and she is no stranger to internet backlash. However, she may have outdone herself with her latest stunt on live TV. Is the holiday bringing out the ‘frisky’ in Behar, or is it normal? Let’s find out. Behar often makes controversial comments, but she always does what she wants despite what fans say. Her ‘The View’ co-hosts and audience tasted this realness on Friday.
When the show started, Whoopi Goldberg asked Behar to make a “resting gift face,” a look she makes after receiving something she dislikes. The iconic comedian told everyone on set that such a face can be the same as a “fake orgasm.” What!! “It’s really nothing, it’s not that hard. It’s like faking an orgasm. Piece of cake.” To prove her valuable point, the 82-year-old showed the world what a “fake orgasm” looks like. She did by lifting her chin and making funny sounds that stunned her co-hosts.
From the background, the audience echoed in unending laughter as Behar practiced her free speech. “Wow, oh God, I love it,” the television host roared. Another co-host, Ana Navarro, responded, “I’ll have what she’s having.” As the show pressed on, a second co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, revealed the time she had a “resting gift face.” According to her, her husband came home with a gift box that she thought would be a beautiful watch. Sadly, it was a stationary box.
Although Behar’s co-stars had a moment after her explosive demonstration on the show, fans did not find it funny. The clip quickly went viral on X, and people had much to say. New York Post shared the clip on the site and garnered over 160 comments and 40k views. People filled the comment section to express their disdain for Behar and her antics. One fan @MicroglimpseTV wrote, “I think I’m going to be sick.” Another pissed-off user said, “B-itch just ruined orgasms for me.”
Most fans were annoyed that she demonstrated the act and thought it better to use her words instead. However, others did not forgive the act and called her out immediately. Others blamed the news outlet for showing the clip. “I could have done without having to think about Joy Behar’s excitement. Thank you, New York Post.” Another user commented, “I don’t think I’ll be able to unsee that… My, err ‘it’ will never ever work again.”
Joy Behar Is No Stranger to Silliness
Behar has co-hosted The View since its inception in the ’90s. While on the show, she has engaged in several discussions that resonated with fans. However, there are some that her supporters did not see coming. In 2021, Behar came under fire for a “Homophobic” slur against NFL player Carl Nassib. The basketball player is considered the first “openly gay NFL player.”
Behar reacted to the player revealing his sexuality online by saying, “It’s 2021; is this such a big deal?” Her co-stars retorted that it is a huge deal, even in the 21st century. Then, the comedian shocked everyone with a second comment. “You know, after they said penetration in the end zone, they lost me,” she added. This comment sent the internet into a frenzy as they slammed the TV host for being “homophobic.”
Despite being prone to controversy, Behar is still an incredible Television host.
