Fox’s Kennedy Drops Explosive Allegations about ‘Awful’ Joy Behar Audition Encounter: “Unwatchable Disaster!”

In an explosive reveal shaking up the TV landscape, Fox News star Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery unleashed stunning claims about her behind-the-scenes clash with Joy Behar during a 2003 audition for ABC’s The View. Appearing on Gutfeld! on April 1, 2025, Kennedy didn’t hold back, slamming the daytime show as an “unwatchable abortion” and labeling Behar a “talking hemorrhoid in an auburn wig.”

Kennedy, formerly an MTV personality and now a mainstay at Fox, painted a vivid picture of her dramatic tryout experience—initially positive but rapidly deteriorating due to Behar’s alleged hostility. Kennedy recalled that her audition, intended to replace Lisa Ling, started smoothly: she enjoyed energetic conversations on conservative politics with Star Jones, the iconic Barbara Walters—“God rest her soul”—and Meredith Vieira. It seemed like a perfect fit… until Behar stepped in.

Describing Behar as “ungracious and awful,” Kennedy revealed a tense off-camera exchange. During a break, after Kennedy effortlessly drew laughs from the panel, Behar allegedly snapped, “I’ll handle the comedy here.” Quick on her feet, Kennedy shot back, “Great. Whenever you start, I’ll ease up on the jokes.” The sharp retort sent shockwaves through social media, instantly going viral on X (formerly Twitter), with fans commenting, “Kennedy owned her!” and “Joy got smoked!”

Joy Behar “puts her foot in her mouth” live on air, shocks audience with offensive remarks toward Karoline Leavitt. Immediately, Karoline Leavitt took this bold action that forced Joy to apologize — or risk having her entire career destroyed!

Kennedy further alleged that Behar heavily relied on comedy writers, yet still struggled to land jokes naturally. “She’s not even funny—she’s not reacting, not thinking!” Kennedy mocked, mimicking Behar’s reportedly stiff performance with biting sarcasm.

Kennedy didn’t get the job—Elizabeth Hasselbeck landed the spot instead—leading some to speculate whether her quick wit posed a threat to Behar’s spotlight. An ABC insider hinted, “Joy’s territorial—always has been. Kennedy’s audition clearly rattled her.”

Fast-forward to 2025, and Kennedy’s revelation lands at a turbulent moment for The View. Ratings have fallen dramatically—down 15% since 2023—as viewers tire of increasingly partisan shouting matches. Behar, who joined the panel in 1997, embodies that divisive shift, her fiery rants against Trump and frequent jabs at conservative figures like Mike Johnson alienating viewers in Middle America. Kennedy’s fierce critique, calling the current show an “unwatchable abortion,” resonated online, with thousands sharing agreement: “She’s right—it’s a dumpster fire now!”

While Behar’s team remained notably silent following Kennedy’s explosive remarks, the internet buzz has been deafening. Kennedy’s clip quickly surpassed 1.3 million views on X, fueling debates over what might have been. “Kennedy would have saved The View,” one fan remarked wistfully.

Despite this drama, ABC’s loyalists seem unlikely to waver in their support for Behar. Yet Kennedy’s fiery revelation offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain—exposing backstage tensions and raising questions about the show’s current trajectory. Now thriving on Gutfeld!, Kennedy’s pointed exposé has many wondering how—or if—Behar will respond.

One thing’s certain: this isn’t merely spilled tea; it’s a scalding-hot expose rewriting television history.
