Get ready for a birthday celebration with a twist! Joy Behar, the iconic panelist on 'The View,' turned 83, and her birthday episode was a hoot! But here's where it gets controversial...
Joy had everyone in stitches with a cheeky joke about her 'dried-up holes.' Now, this might sound a bit risqué, but it's all in good fun! She was referring to her ear piercings, you see, and her hilarious attempt to sell her clip-on earrings at a tag sale.
"In honor of my 39th birthday... wait, what?" Joy began, already setting the tone for a lighthearted celebration. She explained that her annual birthday tag sale was a chance for everyone to get a piece of her and her co-hosts' personal items. And her contribution? A fabulous collection of clip-on earrings, because, as she put it, "my holes are dried up."
But the story behind these earrings is what really tugs at the heartstrings. Joy shared how she bought them at a yard sale from a divorcing couple, adding, "So touching, isn't it?" Her co-host, Sara Haines, chimed in, saying they "carry luck with them."
Now, here's the part most people miss: this lighthearted moment actually has a deeper meaning. The proceeds from the sales will go to The Retreat, a charity close to Joy's heart, which supports victims of domestic abuse.
So, is this a clever way to raise awareness, or just a funny birthday gag? What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
And that's not all! Joy received heartfelt birthday messages from her co-hosts, including the legendary Whoopi Goldberg. She even reflected on her long journey as a host, joking about the vertigo that comes with aging.
"You make it look good, Joy," Sara assured her.
For her 82nd birthday, Joy had a saucy surprise too - a strip tease pizza delivery from Nathan Lane!
So, there you have it - Joy Behar's birthday on 'The View' was a celebration filled with laughter, heart, and a touch of controversy.
