Richard Gere LOSES IT Live On The View After Brutal Exchange With Joy Behar
Hollywood legend Richard Gere was supposed to have a simple promotional interview on The View, but Joy Behar had other plans. What started as routine questions quickly turned into a vicious personal attack that pushed the acclaimed actor to his breaking point. Watch as this explosive confrontation unfolds and Richard finally fights back against relentless bullying on live television. You won’t believe how this interview ends!
How The View’s Joy Behar, 81, became the RAUNCHIEST host on daytime TV: Inside the star’s most scandalous on-screen moments – from quips about G-spots and tales of ‘GHOST sex’ to candidly revealing her pubic baldness
From her blunt remarks and outspoken views, to her comedic quips and near-the-mark revelations, it’s hard to imagine The View without the one and only Joy Behar.
The redhead has been a familiar face on the much-loved daytime show for more than 25 years, and despite being the oldest woman at the table at 81 – she has proven time and time again that she is certainly no prude.
Indeed, it seems that no topic is off limits for the daytime favorite, who features four days a week and stands in as moderator for Whoopi Goldberg on Fridays.
In fact, mother-of-one Joy has made clear that it’s a case of the raunchier the better – particularly when it comes to sharing her thoughts on love, relationships, and even her own sexual escapades.

The 81-year-old appears on the ABC program four days a week and always has plenty to say
Joy – who was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 1942 – certainly had humble beginnings and prior to becoming a household name in television, she worked at Lindenhurst Senior High School on Long Island teaching English.
Her showbusiness career kicked off in the early 1980s after she moved from receptionist to producer on Good Morning America.
As well as studying acting at the HB Studio, she also worked as a stand-up comedian, making appearances on GMA and The New Show, a short-lived Lorne Michaels NBC project.
In 1987, she began hosting and fronted variety talk show Way Off Broadway on Lifetime Television, as well as Live from Queens. Joy was also a regular on NBC’s Baby Boom.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she enjoyed minor film roles in movies including Cookie, This Is My Life, and Manhattan Murder Mystery. She also got the chance to host a talk-show on 77 WABC radio in NYC and appeared on HBO comedy specials One Night Stand and Women of the Night 2.
Joy made her debut on The View in 1997, standing in when the show’s co-creator Barbara Walters was off, before becoming a permanent fixture.
She announced her departure in March 2013 before bowing out on August 9, but she continued to co-host throughout 2014 and 2015 when she decided to return as a regular.
With the show’s 27th season well and truly under way, and Joy already providing many of the most memorable moments, DailyMail.com takes a look at some of her recent racy and wild remarks.
In October 2022, Joy joked that she’d had sex with spirits and said Casper ‘was not a generous lover’
In October 2022, Joy joked she has ‘sex with ghosts’ in a bizarre and racy chat on The View

Back in October 2022, Joy shocked her co-hosts when she joked she’d had ‘sex with ghosts’ while discussing a story about a Texas woman who claims ghosts flirt with her.
After showing a clip of the woman explaining her predicament, Joy said: ‘So, let me help you out here. She’s having a sexual hallucination, which, you know, we all have them.’
‘If you have sex with a ghost, do you get pregnant?’ asked Sara Haines, 46, before raising the question of whether it counts as ‘cheating’.
‘I’ve had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant,’ Joy muttered as Whoopi, 67, told the live studio audience: ‘I’m just gonna let that ride. I don’t know how many of you heard what Joy just said but I’m gonna let it ride.’
But Joy clearly wasn’t finished with the topic and revisited it a week later.
‘So let me just set the record straight, OK? It’s all true. It’s all true. It’s all true. I have had sex with ghosts,’ she said. ‘I just thought Casper was not a generous lover. The ménage à trois, it was almost like having sex with myself.’
And almost a year later, Joy mentioned sex with ghosts yet again while making a brutal dig at her past lovers.
Earlier this month, Joy made a cheeky dig at her past lovers and claimed they ‘acted like ghosts’ in the bedroom

Joy was speaking to The View’s executive producer Brian Teta when she made the hilarious comment
In the October 11 episode of The View: Behind the Table podcast, the show’s executive producer Brian Teta brought it up and asked Joy if she had ever ‘slept’ with a ghost.
‘You’ve also famously said that “ghosts aren’t real”, but in the past you’ve actually had several headlines from a joke you made about sleeping with ghosts…,’ Brian, 47, probed.
Joy laughed: ‘Those are jokes! People don’t seem to remember that I’m actually a comedian, I did it for more than 35 years, onstage, making people laugh!’
Keen to get a definitive answer, Brian asked: ‘Okay let’s clear the air right now, Joy Behar have you ever had sex with a ghost?’
‘No,’ Joy replied, before cheekily adding: ‘But some of them acted like ghosts! And there weren’t that many by the way, I was pretty virginal!’
Joy stunned the panel when she admitted she was going bald in a VERY intimate area live on air
Mother-of-one Joy opened up about her body hair on the show in early October
Joy left her co-hosts flabbergasted when she spoke about her intimate parts.
The comedian spoke candidly about the aging process during a discussion about Pamela Anderson choosing to go makeup-free at Paris Fashion Week.
The conversation bizarrely prompted host Sunny Hostin to ask Joy: ‘You told me as you get older, that hair down there and everywhere else goes gray or bald.’
As the rest of the panel laughed in shock, Sunny, 55, then admitted that she has undergone several ‘medieval type procedures’ – including hair laser removal – in order to ‘avoid that’.
Joy then grilled Sunny on other steps she has taken to prevent any greying hair, asking if she had ever resorted to hair removal cream – which she wrongly referred to as ‘alopecia’.
Mother-of-three Sara was clearly intrigued by the topic and asked Joy: ‘Does it fall out eventually?’
Joy replied: ‘What? The hair down there? Yes, you get bald. So what? Who needs it?’
As the women burst out laughing again, the camera cut to an unimpressed Whoopi, 67, who, pointing to her cheek, said: ‘Or it shows up somewhere else… here or here or there, it’s crazy.’
As the ABC program cut to a commercial break, Joy could be heard telling the ladies that you get ‘one long white one growing’.

Joy, pictured here with Steve in 2019, said drinking a martini ‘on an empty stomach’ is key to having a healthy sex life
It seems even when the cameras aren’t rolling, Joy still enjoys talking about sex.
In an episode of the Behind the Table podcast, Joy and the rest of the panel were recorded dishing out advice to viewers during a commercial break – and she certainly didn’t hold back.
The comedian divulged how she keeps the passion alive in the bedroom, claiming all it takes is an afternoon martini ‘on an empty stomach’ – and thinking about somebody that you ‘really wanna sleep with’.
She also talked about the current dating landscape as she branded apps ‘the worst’.
‘I’m so glad that I’m old because this is the worst idea I’ve ever heard of,’ she said of applications such as Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble.
‘Online dating is the worst. Meet them at a bar, get drunk and go home with them, that’s the way to do it. I would just write, “If you wanna know more about me, take me out for a drink…”‘
She added: ‘I’m not telling them all my assets! No!’
Joy also had plenty to say when another viewer admitted that they were dating three different men – one who is great in bed, one who plans amazing dates, and one who they can talk to for hours – and asked which one she should choose.
‘The one to talk to is good for marriage, especially after 30 years,’ Joy declared.
But when her co-host Sunny reminded her that ‘they’re just dating,’ she added: ‘I guess the one who is good in bed for me!’
Referring to the sex, Joy then advised: ‘If you don’t have it at the beginning, you’ll never get it!’
