Joy Behar, cohost of ABC's "The View," addressed concerns about her unsteady appearance during the Monday, July 6, broadcast.
The 83-year-old clarified that she is not intoxicated but experiencing dizziness.
“I got acupuncture, because I'm dizzy,” Behar told the studio audience and viewers. “I walk and I'm dizzy.
Has anyone noticed, I walk like I'm drunk? I'm not drinking.
I don't drink.”
Panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin lightened the moment by joking about the production team's assistance. “You're escorted at times to your seat,” she said.
Behar responded with humor about her medical and cosmetic treatments.
“Between the Botox, the Ozempic and the acupuncture, I'm, like, full of needles, more than a drug addict,” she said.
Unexpected Lineup Changes
Behar's appearance was unexpected due to weather-related travel disruptions.
Regular hosts Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Whoopi Goldberg were stranded, forcing executive producer Brian Teta to adjust the lineup.
Goldberg joined remotely from Italy, explaining the situation.
“I am in Sicily right now, and Mount Etna, which is one of our active volcanoes here in Italy, decided to go off today,” she said.
“We have spent most of the day trying to get back to the United States, and all of the airports are closed here, so I will be back as soon as I can.”
