'Who do I sue?' Joy Behar laughs off dramatic face plant during live show



Joy Behar apparently missed her chair and fell rather dramatically during the opening of Thursday's episode of "The View."

In video footage from the live show, the 79-year-old co-host was seen falling forward, then on her side, before fellow co-hosts rushed over to help her back up.

"Come on just stop, just stand," laughed Whoopi Goldberg.

"Twenty-five years that has never happened to me," Behar said, adding, “Who do I sue?”

While Behar is reported to be just fine after her fall, the mishap garnered mixed reactions on social media.

Especially given what Joy herself said about masks a week or so ago.

See, since she was vaccinated it wasn't as bad as it would have been if she wasn't vaccinated.

Behar is no stranger to making headlines, for better or worse. Just last week, she was shredded for complaining that Russia's invasion of Ukraine might interfere with her plans to vacation in Italy. The previous week, Behar was caught maskless in public after declaring she'd keep wearing her mask indefinitely, even if the CDC eases their guidance.

Joy Behar says she will listen to the 'little voice' in her head telling her to wear a mask even if the CDC eases their guidance



Joy Behar said that she may choose to wear a mask in public indefinitely because it's "not safe" to go maskless.

Behar was responding to a report saying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was considering easing its guidance on mask-wearing after case counts of the coronavirus nosedived.

Behar said on "The View" Thursday that she would continue wearing masks because the CDC has given contradictory guidance on masks in the past.

"Personally, I listen to the little voice in my head that doesn't really follow a hundred percent what they tell me because they keep changing it," said Behar.

"So like, a very short time ago they were saying put the N95 masks on, make sure it's on, and now they're saying you don't have to wear them anymore. So if I go on the subway, if I go in a bus, if I go into the theater, if I go into, where else would I go? A crowded place, I would wear a mask, and I might do that indefinitely," Behar added.

"Because why do I need the flu or a cold even?" she concluded. "And so I’m listening to myself right now. I mean, I don’t think it’s a hundred percent safe yet.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin added that kids were either not allowed to be vaccinated yet or remained unvaccinated, and she was worried about future effects of the coronavirus that might not be understood already.

Dr. Laura Wright disagreed with the other hosts and cited death statistics to bolster her argument that parents and others need to make their own risk assessment about whether to wear masks.

"We need to weigh risks. Tradeoffs is a basic thing that we teach," said Wright. "We need to be able to be adults about this. Why should you have to make decisions like this? Why has the messaging been so inconsistent?"

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday that the organization was reviewing its guidance in light of new statistics.

“We want to give people a break from things like mask-wearing when these metrics are better, and then have the ability to reach for them again should things worsen,” she explained.

Also on Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci opined that it would be "risky" to allow children to go maskless at schools given the possibility that cases may rebound or that a new variant may arise.
