Joy Behar, a co-host of The View, received help from a fellow co-host while walking to her seat during a live taping, drawing concern from viewers.
The View co-host Sara Haines stepped in to steady Behar at the top of Thursday’s broadcast, placing a hand on her back and guiding her to her chair after Behar initially walked out alone and leaned toward Haines, who was following close behind.
The moment has drawn scrutiny on social media, with some audience members expressing worry while others took a different view.
One Reddit user penned, “Sara needs to stop helping Joy walk in and sit down on the View.”
The user wrote in a September 2025 post.
“Her hand on her back only makes her look fragile and decrepit; she is NOT; she is sharp and informed and able at 83.”
Behar may have been affected by a foot injury she sustained in November 2025.
After missing several tapings, she returned to the show and told the studio audience that she had broken a toe after accidentally dropping an iPad on her foot.
“Very painful,” Behar said at the time, propping her bandaged foot on the desk for the audience to see.
Behar has been a co-host on The View since the ABC daytime program premiered in 1997.
She took a hiatus from 2013 to 2015, but when she came back, she joined co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sunny Hostin.
