Joy Behar Dismantles Star Jones' Quip About Her Not Liking Her Co-Hosts on The View
"What type of fake news is this?" Joy asked on #WWHL.
Joy Behar has been on The View since it started way back in 1997, so she's had the opportunity to interact with each and every co-host that's come through the show. So it would have been a very long 20 years if she didn't like any of them, as her former co-host Star Jones has suggested.
"She loves us, but she doesn't like us," Star shared on a June episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen while promoting her VH1 talk show parody Daytime Divas.
"How does she know that?" Joy countered on Thursday's episode. "That's completely ridiculous! No, that's not true — she's jealous because I was really attached to [former co-host] Meredith [Vieira], that's all."
"In all honesty, all of my co-hosts were very prepared," Star had said back in June, taming her previous comment a bit. "I worked with some of the very best people there are in television... So I would look like an idiot to say something mean about those girls, and I never would."
Still, Joy doesn't know how Star would have that impression. "I don't know but I was friendly with everybody. I don't know what she's talking about. I don't like any of my co-hosts, that's what she said? What type of fake news is this?"
Host Andy Cohen then asked Joy about how Star used to talk frequently on air about her impending nuptials to her now ex-husband Al Reynolds.
"Bridezilla," Joy replied.
He said that the word at the time was that producers asked Star to talk it up. "That's probably true," Joy admitted.
