‘The View’ Star Dragged by Co-Host for Outrageous Restaurant Behavior

Joy Behar may be a restaurant server’s worst nightmare. On Wednesday, longtime The View host fired a playful barb at co-host Ana Navarro during a segment on America’s eating habits, claiming that “I’ve dined with supermodels that ate more than you did.” Navarro then described a dizzying array of requests Behar made at a dinner at Porter House Bar & Grill in midtown Manhattan. According to Navarro, Behar complained that the restaurant was too hot, then that it was too loud, and finally that there was too much light. Behar even let it slip that she brought her beloved Shih Tzu Bernie—named after Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders—to the steakhouse. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin defended Behar’s behavior: “She’s Joy Behar! She’s earned it!” Despite the raft of problems she pointed out, Behar mourned the restaurant’s impending closure, saying, “I have so many friends who work there, all the waiters and sommeliers and the maître d’s.”
