The View fans call out Joy Behar for unnecessarily shading Kardashians during random live segment
JOY Behar has been slammed by The View fans for "unnecessarily shading" the Kardashians.
The panel wasn't even talking about the famous family when she brought them up.
On Wednesday's show, the women of The View discussed how former President Donald Trump was still looking for the votes he lost in the 2020 election and the indictment against him.
Joy then went on to explain that a Georgia Special Grand Jury Forewoman spoke to a reporter about his indictment.
The woman, Emily, seemed to be giving too much away from the court documents, which left the audience and the hosts chuckling.
When the clip ended, Joy said: "Shouldn't she be keeping her big bazoo shut? This girl?"
Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin all cracked up as Joy continued on.
"I mean why is she going around talking-? She wants attention."
Joy delivered her insult as she said: "You know everybody is a Kardashian now, everybody wants attention, and that's what this is about, I think."
The rest of the panel seemed to stay quiet, with a low "yeah" coming from one of them.
The women then went on to discuss this topic further.
OMG JOY While the audience laughed, fans watching at home didn't take too kindly to Joy comparing the Kardashians to the woman in the clip.
They took to Twitter to slam the host.
"OMG lol Everyone wants to be a Kardashian' #theview," wrote one fan.
"Why the Kardashians had to catch a stray Joy? Why are they in it? LoLoL #TheView," asked another.
To that, another replied: "This jury person is an attention seeker, like the Kardashians."
"Why did Joy have to bring the Kardashians into something they aren't even involved in? #theview," wondered one fan.
"Nah. That wasn't right. Joy comparing the Kardashians to that forewoman #theview," tweeted one fan.
'HEARTBREAKING' This isn't the first time Joy was slammed for making fun of the famous family.
Back in December, View fans thought she made a "cruel jab" at Khloe's looks in a resurfaced clip.
Back in 2011, Joy had her own talk show on HLN called The Joy Behar Show.
She welcomed Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian to the show and talked mostly about their love lives and their family.
Joy talked a lot about Kim's then-marriage to Kris Humphries and how she wanted to change her last name.
Part-way through the interview, Joy came out with a cruel remark that had Khloe questioning her.
"I was saying during the commercial, that you don't look like your sisters. They look alike," Joy said.
"Are you sure you have the same parents?"
Khloe went along with the joke and said: "Absolutely not. I do not know. I don't think I'm related to these people fully, but we'll go with it."
"I like the brand, so hey let's keep it up. This empire's pretty good."
Joy then jabbed into Khloe deeper and said: "I mean you're all cute in different ways. You look more like Kim," she pointed to Kourtney.
"Yes. She looks like me because I am a little bit older," Kourtney said.
But, Khloe couldn't let the host get away with her comment.
"What does that mean for me? I look like a dog?" she asked.
"No, you're pretty, but you look different pretty," Joy told her.
Khloe cracked up and Kourtney awkwardly laughed.
Then, Khloe joked: "Spoken like a real mother."
Joy then quickly moved on to the next topic, but the sisters' body language gave away how awkward they felt.
Fans on Reddit dug up the video and posted it to the platform to say how "cruel" it was for Joy to say that.
"D**n this video is so sad. I've never seen this," wrote the original poster.
"The way Kourtney doesn't know how to react then starts laughing with Khloe to make it not awkward. And Khloe saying 'spoken like a true mother' just speaks to the fact that she grew up hearing Kris tell her she wasn't as pretty as her sisters. Heartbreaking," commented one user.
One Kardashian fan replied to them and said: "The way Khloe was expecting it and tried to get ahead of it too. Heartbreaking."
Another slammed Joy and said: "I wish the hostess just stopped there. She's pretty. That's it. No need to compare her to her sisters. She's pretty in her own way, yes, but the hostess meant that as in 'You're not as pretty but I don't want to call you ugly on live tv so here's this backhanded compliment'."
"Y’all notice how out of pocket these female talk show hosts were to younger female actresses/singers/tv personalities back then?" asked one Reddit user.
One fan felt bad for her and wrote: "Wow. That is one of the most brutal things I've ever seen. As her sister, I would have stood up for her."
"Joy Behar has no business assessing how attractive anyone is," said another.
