Joy Behar Slams “Illiterate” Travis Kelce On ‘The View,’ Says She Doesn’t Want Taylor Swift To Be “Stuck With This Idiot”

Joy Behar has some bad blood with Travis Kelce. While chatting about the offensive tweets that have resurfaced from the Kansas City Chiefs player, The View co-host had a difficult time shaking it off.

In the social media posts that date back to 2010, Kelce makes “disparaging comments about women,” according to Whoopi Goldberg, who prompted her co-hosts to find her a “high school boy who hasn’t said something stupid about girls.”

While Goldberg brushed off the athlete’s posts, Behar — who is admittedly a fan of his new girlfriend, Taylor Swift — was quick to blast him for his misogynistic comments.

“Here’s one of his quotes: ‘Damn, the Clippers girls gotta be the girls that don’t make the Lakers team ’cause they was all ugly,’” Behar read, before adding, “He’s illiterate.”

She continued, “He’s obsessed with the girls. I’m looking. That was his thing. [He wrote], ‘Why can’t girls hide they back fat?,’ [and], ‘I feel like if you want to be a cheerleader, you have to pass a beauty test. There’s too many ugly cheerleaders out here.’”

When Goldberg asked her longtime friend why she cared so much about the tweets, Behar assured the audience that she was just looking out for Swift, who packed on the PDA with Kelce following her Eras Tour stop in Argentina over the weekend.

“I’m a Swiftie,” Behar declared. “I love her because she’s getting young people out to vote so I don’t want her to be stuck with this idiot.”

Unlike Behar, the rest of the panel was a tad more forgiving of Kelce. Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is the same age as the new lovebirds, pointed out that their generation was the first to grow up with social media.

“We documented everything,” she said. “You think of songs that you liked at the time and then you’re like, ‘Wait, this could be totally problematic. I didn’t even know what it meant at the time.’ You gotta give people a little grace and hope that the way he treats women now is reflective of how he is as an adult.”

Like Swift’s song of the same nature, Goldberg then concluded that people need to calm down.

“Young people do young people stuff,” she explained. “What you said 25 years ago, may not be the way that you feel this time. So everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do.”
