Joy Behar Faces Backlash Over Her Description Of Judge Judy On The View

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Joy Behar fully acknowledged that her opinions on "The View" have occasionally landed her in hot water. In a September 2021 issue of People, Behar reflected on her television career, fully admitting that sometimes she misspeaks on-air. "I've had to apologize, which I'm happy to do in order to save mine and everybody else's job," she said. "I don't care. Even if I don't mean it, I'll do it."

Now, Behar might have to ready another apology. During a November 9 episode of "The View," the panelists were discussing Judge Judy's recent assertion that Justin Bieber was "scared to death" of her (per Access Hollywood). "She enjoys being feared, I think," Behar said about the TV arbitrator. "She's come to my house for dinner. She's really a lovely sweet person, but on TV, she's like the Taliban, let's face it."

Behar's comments have prompted negative responses online, and fans are now calling for the comedian to issue an apology. "How dare you compare a successful, confident, assertive woman to a group denying women's rights, killing women, & denying girls an education," one person tweeted. Adding, "Shame on you."
