I Think Joy Needs to GO

Tweet

I used to watch this show on cable called "The View". It was started by Barbara Walters about 10 years ago, I think. They interview stars and people in the news. There are 4-5 prominent women in the business of journalism who are on the panel of interviewers. They used to have some pretty cute stuff and interesting interviews so I did watch it from time to time. But, I haven't for several years. Recently I have seen on YouTube where one of the journalists has really gotten nasty with some celebrities they have on the show. Her name is Joy Behar and she is probably 50ish and has been in journalism for years. She has interviewed presidents and many high profile people. I thought she was okay but definitely a real favorite. Last night it was Nicole Kidman who was the guest. She was on talking about a psychological thriller she is in that is going to come out soon. She has always carried herself with dignity and grace. A very strong women who fights for women's rights and the underprivileged. Joy just bit into her and was very nasty and aggressive asking her not about the movie, but about some past occurrences that had little to do with anything. Just petty stuff. Instead of letting it lie when Nicole said she was there to talk about the film Joy hit her with a personality assassination that didn't even make sense. Nicole was very professional and patient. Joy even admitted at one point that she just didn't like Nicole. She was vindictive, dishonest, getting on her about power and privilege. Off stage they were trying to figure out what to do, they signaled to Joy to stop. But, instead she got worse, even when Whoopi tried to change the subject. This woman is unbelievable. She's done this before too. To Rosie O'Donnel, a governor named Chris Christie. And Sam Elliott when he was on. She goes for the juggler and talks about their celebrity and personal stuff. Sam and Nicole both were treated horribly, and Joy was hostile with them and very unprofessional like she was on a personal vendetta against these celebrities. Hostile, bitter, just ugly. I think she should be fired. She has shown she has no place there and isn't able to just do her job. She takes it to a personal level which isn't professional and none of these people being interviewed deserves this kind of treatment. Did you ever watch "The View"? Did you like Joy?
