The View’s Joy Behar shocks co-hosts with NSFW ‘Freudian slip’ as she covers her mouth in embarrassment live on air

JOY Behar has been left red-faced after making a major NSFW slip-up during a serious news segment.

The View co-host, 80, accidentally said “erection” instead of “insurrection” during a politics recap on Wednesday’s show.

Joy was discussing the controversial news that Fox News host Tucker Carlson was given footage from the Capitol riot 

She said: “Less than a week after Tucker Carlson is caught fully admitting that he doesn’t believe the election fraud lies he’s putting on the air, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy hands him capital security footage from the January 6 erection-“

Joy broke off in shock and tried to hastily correct herself by saying, “election,” before finally settling on the correct “insurrection.”

The comedian covered her mouth with her hand in embarrassment and hung her head as her co-hosts burst out laughing.

Alyssa Farah Griffin said jokingly, “Well done!”

Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin, meanwhile, tried to hide their faces and pursed their lips with barely suppressed laughter.

Viewers went wild over Joy’s gaffe – especially as she was acting as show moderator during Whoopi Goldberg’s absence.

One fan tweeted, “Erection, Joy?” and added a meme with the text: “Something on your mind?”

Another posted: “Joy Behar with the best Freudian slip ever!”

A third commented, “Erection, election, insurrection,” with a string of laughing face emojis.

Elsewhere in the episode, Joy was called out for “unnecessarily shading” the Kardashians.

The panel was discussing how former President Donald Trump was still looking for the votes he lost in the 2020 election and the indictment against him.

Joy then went on to explain that a Georgia Special Grand Jury Forewoman spoke to a reporter about his indictment.

JOY THROWS SHADE

The woman, Emily, seemed to be giving too much away from the court documents, which left the audience and the hosts chuckling.

When the clip ended, Joy said: “Shouldn’t she be keeping her big bazoo shut? This girl?”

Joy delivered her insult as she said: “You know everybody is a Kardashian now, everybody wants attention, and that’s what this is about, I think.”

The rest of the panel seemed to stay quiet, with a low “yeah” coming from one of them.

This isn’t the first time Joy was slammed for making fun of the famous family.

Back in December, View fans thought she made a “cruel jab” at Khloe’s looks in a resurfaced clip.

Back in 2011, Joy had her own talk show on HLN called The Joy Behar Show.

She welcomed Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian to the show and talked mostly about their love lives and their family.

Joy talked a lot about Kim‘s then-marriage to Kris Humphries and how she wanted to change her last name.

POOR KHLOE

Part-way through the interview, Joy came out with a cruel remark that had Khloe questioning her.

“I was saying during the commercial, that you don’t look like your sisters. They look alike,” Joy said.

“Are you sure you have the same parents?”

Khloe went along with the joke and said: “Absolutely not. I do not know. I don’t think I’m related to these people fully, but we’ll go with it.”

“I like the brand, so hey let’s keep it up. This empire’s pretty good.”

Joy then jabbed into Khloe deeper and said: “I mean you’re all cute in different ways. You look more like Kim,” she pointed to Kourtney.

“Yes. She looks like me because I am a little bit older,” Kourtney said.

But, Khloe couldn’t let the host get away with her comment.

“What does that mean for me? I look like a dog?” she asked.

“No, you’re pretty, but you look different pretty,” Joy told her.

Khloe cracked up and Kourtney awkwardly laughed.

Then, Khloe joked: “Spoken like a real mother.”
