A Tough Start: Joy's Struggles with Bullying
Now 81, Joy Behar isn't just known for her sharp wit and comedic timing; she's also a survivor of childhood bullying. She revealed during the podcast that her struggles began early in elementary school and continued into junior high. "I was only bullied by other girls when I was a kid, and the boys, there was one boy who would instigate it," Joy explained. "I was often left out of the little cliques, the sororities, if you will. But you know what? I just made my own."
Her resilience shines through as she talks about creating her own circle of friends, a testament to her strength and determination even at a young age. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best way to deal with exclusion is to carve out your own path.

The Turning Point: High School Days
Finally, Joy found her groove in high school. "I went to an all-girls school," she said, her voice filled with nostalgia. "And let me tell you, I was extremely popular in high school. I was the head of the governing council." Joy's high school experience was nothing short of magical. "It was such a letdown when I went to college," she continued. "I loved high school. It was an all-girls school, and we had so much fun."
Her love for those days is palpable, and it's clear that high school was a transformative period in her life. It was where she discovered her leadership skills and built lasting friendships.
Advice for the Next Generation
Joy shared some wisdom for parents, particularly when it comes to choosing the right educational environment for their daughters. "If I could do it over again, I would make sure my daughter, Eve Behar, would only go to an all-girls high school," Joy said. "Because I think boys distract girls and girls distract boys. Although boys act crazy when girls are not around."
Her advice comes from personal experience, and it's clear she believes an all-girls education offers unique advantages. It's a perspective that resonates with many who have walked a similar path.
Behind the Scenes: Joy's Relationship with Her Co-Hosts
Shifting gears, Joy also opened up about her relationships with her fellow co-hosts on The View. Currently married to Steve Janowitz, Joy emphasized that she shares great friendships with each of her colleagues on the show. "We get along fine," she said, dismissing media reports that suggest tension on the set. "We didn't always, but we do now."
Joy cleverly compared the chatter about The View hosts not getting along to male broadcasters cohosting a sports-related show. "When men fight, they're not as creative about it," she quipped. "Girls come up with stuff." It's a lighthearted way of addressing the rumors, showcasing her wit and humor.

Her words reflect her comfort and camaraderie with her co-hosts, proving that behind the scenes, it's all about friendship and teamwork.
