Sunny Hostin Jokes About Joy Behar
Hostin even joked about the dynamic, teasing that Behar didn't like Hasselbeck's dress that day. "You know you're close to Joy when she starts making fun of the clothes you're wearing," she quipped.
The previous feud began in January 2025, after Behar criticized Underwood's decision to perform at Trump's second inauguration.
According to Yahoo, Hasselbeck publicly called out Behar on social media, accusing her of being "selfish" and seeking personal publicity. Hasselbeck even shared a photo of Behar on Instagram, captioned, "Joy — @carrieunderwood is an INCREDIBLE WOMAN. You could learn from her strength."
Despite these tensions, Hasselbeck emphasized on her return that civil discourse is still possible.
"We might have differences of opinion, but we love each other and we're stronger," she told her co-hosts.
She added, "I actually think for the young people watching it's important to see that... we can hold our positions in one hand, and each other's hand in the other, and be able to just live as Americans with the freedom that we have and speak our hearts and minds."
