Joy Behar Claims Her Feet Have “Created Foot Fetishists” While Talking About “Kinks” On ‘The View’: “I Feel That I’m Responsible”

Joy Behar could have a booming side hustle if she ever decided to sell feet pics. On this morning’s episode of The View, the longtime co-host turned heads when she bragged about her “beautiful” feet during an NSFW conversation about “fetishes” and “kinks.”

The steamy advice segment was sparked by a man whose wife banned him from massaging her feet after he admitted to having a foot fetish — a concept Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn’t understand.

“I wish my husband had a foot fetish and wanted to give me foot rubs. It seems like a great problem to have,” Griffin said, before Hostin echoed, “Isn’t it great that he has a foot fetish? Because if you love foot massages and you happen to be married to a guy with a foot fetish that wants to give massages, it’s like the perfect marriage.”

Griffin added that you “have to entertain your partner’s kink within reason,” prompting Whoopi Goldberg to momentarily leave her seat.

While the panel was waiting for her return, Behar joked that she couldn’t comment on the subject because of what Griffin called her “beautiful” feet.

“Not to brag, but my feet have created foot fetishists out there,” Behar admitted. “So I can’t really respond to this. I feel that I’m responsible for a lot of foot fetishes.”

Hostin then confirmed the comedian’s perfect feet to be “true,” while Sara Haines described them as “very elegant.”

Once Goldberg finally made it back to the Hot Topics table, Behar asked why she had gotten up in the first place.

“I was so enamored by what you were saying that I felt that I needed to take a breath so I could just get myself together so I could come back to the table,” she sarcastically responded. “So I just got up and walked away and just got myself together.”

Behar then quipped, “See, this is what my feet do to people,” before Goldberg ripped into the segment.

“This is what this conversation does to people. It makes them get up and move,” Goldberg fired back. “I don’t care. Because my feet are huge and no one wants to touch them.”

Joy Behar Plays Down ‘Romeo & Juliet’ Child Abuse Lawsuit on ‘The View’: “Looks Like a Money Grab”

The View did not hold back today when it came to Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting’s recently filed lawsuit against Paramount Pictures. The stars of Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 Romeo & Juliet film are accusing the studio of child abuse and harassment for a nude scene they filmed in the movie, but according to some seated around the Hot Topics table, the $500 million lawsuit looks like a “money grab.”

The debate began after Whoopi Goldberg explained that the two actors, who are now in their 70s but were in their teens while filming, are suing the movie studio after claiming the late director pressured them to get nude and lied about the positioning of cameras, telling them they would be discreetly filmed.

“Well, it looks like a money grab because it’s such a long time ago,” Joy Behar said of the suit, but softened her analysis, aruging that there should be no statute of limitations because some people “don’t even come to the conclusion that there was abuse sometimes for years.”

Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin, who said she worked closely with child abuse victims as a prosecutor, believes the lawsuit “sort of dilutes the definition of child sex abuse.”

Referencing Hussey’s 2018 interview with Variety in which she defended the nude scene — telling the outlet, “Nobody my age had done that before. It was needed for the film” — Hostin said the actress’ previous statements “make this a very difficult case to prove” and that “it feels disingenuous to me at this point.”

Goldberg went on to advise that the two actors go after Zeffirelli’s estate since the people currently in power at Paramount “had nothing to do with making that movie then.” The moderator also admitted that she doesn’t quite see anything wrong with the final product of the film.

“As a kid who loved that movie, who fell in love with Shakespeare because of that movie, it never occurred to me that there was something wrong because it didn’t look dirty,” she said. “It looked like two kids trying to figure out who each other is.”

Whoopi Goldberg Begs Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin to “Tone it Down” on ‘The View’ During Tense Argument

It’s election day, and tensions are high on The View. With all of us bracing for one of the most consequential midterms in years, the co-hosts are feeling the heat too, and the stress bubbled over in the form of a tense fight between Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin on today’s episode.

Griffin said she was becoming concerned about rhetoric on the far-left, telling the table she thinks liberals have “become so negative in how they talk about the other party,” but Hostin immediately questioned her, asking, “who are are these ‘far-left people?’ Cause I don’t think you can ‘both sides’ this.”

She added, “the far-left did not storm the Capitol,” but Griffin pulled out Hostin’s comments from last week’s episode, telling her she had “called white republican women cockroaches.”

Big mistake.

Hostin quickly corrected Griffin, telling her she’d misquoted what she actually said, which was: “Suburban women are now going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for raid.”

As Griffin attempted to walk back her comment, Hostin instructed her, “let me answer that,” but she didn’t get far as the table erupted into multiple conversations until moderator Whoopi Goldberg calmed the chaos.

“Here’s what I’m gonna ask you to do,” she practically shouted over her co-hosts. “I’m gonna ask you tone it down a bit, ’cause I can’t hear anything. No one can hear what’s being said.”

Hostin, with the table now silent, continued her defense, saying Griffin had “just said I called white women roaches, which, my mother is a white woman. So I wouldn’t say that. Second of all, what I used was a metaphor, really more of a simile. And I said, white women republicans, I just read a poll that the suburbans are now voting republican. That is like roaches voting for raid.”

As Griffin said she knew what Hostin was trying to say, Hostin told her, “let me finish,” and explained that she had pulled the roaches line from John Leguizamo and had previously said it on The View in reference to Latino voters, but “nobody had anything to say about it” then.

Hostin continued by explaining more context of the roaches comment, while Griffin tried to interject.

“Sunny, we’ve heard your point. I’m trying to make you consider a perspective you haven’t before,” she said, but Hostin talked right over her, accusing Griffin of “twisting” her words.

“Don’t say I called white women roaches, because I didn’t,” Hostin said, as Griffin tried to get a word in, but Goldberg knew the segment was long gone at that point.

“We’re gonna go to break,” she told the camera. “We’re going to break. I can’t take it.”

Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin Get in Heated Debate Over Children in Classrooms During the Pandemic on ‘The View’: “Children Are Alive Now”

Alyssa Farah Griffin got into a heated debate with her co-hosts during today’s episode of The View about whether children should’ve been kept in schools during the pandemic. Whoopi Goldberg fired back at the former White House staffer when she said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got it right by trying to keep children in the classroom.

“I know many voters who have said, ‘I will never vote for a politician who kept kids out of the classroom,’” Griffin said of the topic she feels “very strongly” about. “We’ve seen the stats now about how much it’s put our kids behind, losing nearly a year of education.”

Goldberg immediately hit back, telling the co-host, “Children are alive now because we kept them out of [the classroom].” However, Griffin stood her ground as she said, “But there was a way to do it right.”

“No there wasn’t. If there had been a way to do it right, the guy that you were over there with, would’ve done it right,” Goldberg fumed, referring to Donald Trump, before Griffin said they had “pitched a lot of ideas he didn’t take.”

Goldberg added that “the people that did it right, saved those kids’ lives.” While she noted that it’s going to be a little harder to bring them up to speed, she said, “They’re here and that’s the difference.” Although, the debate didn’t stop there as Griffin opened up about the school choice organizations she worked with.

“[They] did hybrid education, they did some in-person education, they gave homeschool parents the resources that they need,” she explained. “The idea that we just give up on kids for a year, you can protect their health while educating children.”

Meanwhile, Goldberg dug her heels in. She said, “No we couldn’t. If we could’ve figured out how to do that, if we had known what we were dealing with, if we had had that crystal ball like you were asking for, we would’ve had this information but we didn’t.”

She continued, “People did the best they could, in the great states that did it, in the bad states that didn’t get it together the way they should’ve, everybody did their best.”
