Joy Behar: Mel Gibson Is Not Welcome on 'The View'

By Rob Shuter Posted Jul 13th 2010 01:35PM

Although Whoopi Goldberg defended Mel Gibson on 'The View,' co-host Joy Behar told 'The Insider' that the actor isn't welcome on their program.

"Barbara [Walters] would not allow him on the show," she says.

"Barbara's Jewish, he's an anti-Semite, he's a racist ... so he's done," Behar said, adding that the show would never grant him an opportunity to defend himself.

The tapes, of which RadarOnline.com has released three parts thus far, feature an enraged Gibson bellowing at the mother of his 8-month-old daughter, Oksana Grigorieva, relentlessly employing C-words, F-bombs and, sadly and disturbingly, racial slurs including the N-word.

"I know Mel, and I know he's not a racist," Whoopi said on 'The View' on Monday. "I have had a long friendship with Mel. You can say he's being a bonehead, but I can't sit and say that he's a racist having spent time with him in my house with my kids. I don't like what he's done, make no mistake."

Behar points out she does not agree with her co-host. "I am surprised, but that's her position, it's called 'The View.'" Behar's full interview will air July 13 on 'The Insider.'

Isn't her show on MSNBC or some other failing cable news channel like that? I mean, it's not like she's on the nightly news! LOL! Does she even have an audience beyond her koolaid drinking fans?

Ordinarily, I try not to engage in this kind of talk, because I don't like it when people treat me that way, but Joy Behar speaks offensively on a myriad of subjects that she knows nothing about! Basically, she follows the liberal party line and doesn't use her own brain for any other purpose than keeping her skull from collapsing! Why is she given such credence? I shake my head! LOL!

Mesaman,

Learn to spell LOSER!!!

You need a seeing eye pig, mama. Loser, spelled with two DD's.

By Lady K

Joy is the most annoying woman on tv. Who cares what she thinks??? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Mel just has to go to rehab and he will be the latest Hollywood hero but that loudmouth, opinionated, uninformed. liberal, nonsense spouting Joy will always be a Pig!!!

By Jay Heno

Who cares about Joy Behar anyway? She is half-wit and is fortunate she can walk and chew gum at the same time. She has slight academic achievement, an average IQ and her only claim on her resume would be television. Please, shut your trap and crawl back into your meaningless world.

So sick of that Joy BloHard. And yet she gets her own show. Mafia wife wannabe with that ugly red wig. Please go away along with Leno. Joy and Jay go away!

By sherry

I dont watch the view.. i love mel always will.. the gal was and is a gold digger..

By bingo

How old are these tapes?

By dolores

This is not the first time Mr. Gibson has had this type of rant. He displayed this same type of vulgar behavior a few years ago when he was stopped by police. If this tirade is an example of him unleashing his frustration, he needs to find another outlet!

By chevjuls

MEL GIBSON IS A GOOD ACTOR, DIRECTOR, AND PRODUCER, BUT HE A DRUNK, A LOUD MOUTH, AN ABUSER, A RACIST, A BIGOT AND SO ON AND SO FORTH AND NEEDS TO GET SOME VERY SERIOUS HELP.

The racist are those jewish people that protested his movie because it told the truth about them in the bible. They are the hypocrites..Who wouldnt be angry. And he did knock her teeth out i'm sure she'd go to the hosp and tell every news station. Those tapes are about 4 or 5 mts old.. And joy was bragging about living in sin with her bf. This is the moral expert?????/ Barbara W. and Whoope were adulterers,, more liberal hypocrites. The only think that bothers them are 'suppossed' racism and calling an evil a sin.

By mellors

hey,joy... sit on it and spin.. who would want to go on your show anyhow, you opinionated, vapid, loud mouthed moron...

By Gil

Who cares what that hag says about anyone. This is one collection of bimbo's and nothing more. Whoopi and the rest of that gang are a pathetic bunch of women. I look at the guy from cheers who was married to Whoopi. How would anyone and I mean ANYONE like to wake up in the morning, roll over and see Whoopi or Ms Joy? Talk about a scary day.

By whatsit2yadudes

Joy is a lil whinny baby. Oh poor Joy the world really feels sorry for you...SORRY THAT YOU DON'T GROW THE HELL UP!
