Joy Behar Opens Up About Her Ability to Forgive Co-Hosts Who Were ‘Mean’ to Her on The View

Joy Behar is known for her candidness on The View, but when it comes to holding grudges, she prefers to let bygones be bygones.

The veteran co-host, who has been with the talk show for nearly three decades, recently shared her approach to dealing with “toxic” relationships, revealing that she doesn’t dwell on past conflicts — even with her co-hosts.

During the February 21st episode of The View, Behar, 82, opened up about her philosophy on forgiveness, stating, “I don’t remember who’s mean to me, even at this table.

” Her declaration prompted co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin to immediately reassure her, saying, “No one at this table has been mean to you.

” Behar quickly clarified, “Not now,” acknowledging that she has been a part of The View for 28 years, which means there have been plenty of opportunities for friction with past co-hosts.

Behar, however, chose not to elaborate on any specific disagreements with former co-hosts.

Her time on The View has been marked by its share of drama, including her firing in 2013 after nearly 16 years on the show.

In a 2017 interview, Behar admitted that her departure was due to someone wanting her gone, though she never named names.

Despite the rocky departure, Behar’s return to The View in 2015 was a triumphant one, and she now says she holds no ill will regarding the situation.

Reflecting on the time away, she told TIME magazine in 2022, “I was glad to be fired at the time.

I don’t even remember why I was so upset.”

Behar’s ability to forgive — and forget — is a testament to her relaxed approach to conflict.

For her, it’s all about moving forward and not letting past squabbles cloud the present.

And with her long history on the show, Behar’s capacity for letting things go seems to have served her well.

After all, she’s spent nearly three decades making The View her own.

Her story of forgiveness provides a refreshing reminder that sometimes, letting go is the best path to peace.

In the case of Behar, it’s clear that while she may not always remember the details of past disputes, she certainly doesn’t let them dictate her future.
