The hosts of “The View” have mixed feelings over the Academy’s decision to ban Will Smith from all events and programs, including the Oscars, for 10 years.
“Eh. So what?” Behar quipped. “Who wants to go to that anyway?”
On Friday the Academy announced they were taking action as “a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy. We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted.” Smith, who had resigned from the Academy prior to their decision after slapping Chris Rock during the live ceremony, said “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision”.

Opening the debate on “The View” as to whether Smith’s punishment was justified and appropriate, host Sara Haines says it felt like too long to her.
“I actually, when I heard 10, I thought that felt like a lot of time. You talk about someone having growth, and taking time to recognize he did something wrong, it felt like overkill in some ways,” she argues. “I thought maybe he’d be out for three to five years, or not be able to — now he won’t be able to — present next year, and all that felt appropriate. But when I heard a whole decade….”
However, Sunny Hostin and guest co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed with the Academy’s decision, stating the punishment felt warranted due to the physical nature of the incident.

“I actually thought it was appropriate. I think there are like a thousand responses short of physical violence that you could’ve defended your wife,” Griffin says. “Use your words, like we teach

Tucker Carlson’s promotion of testicle tanning, but on Wednesday, they finally got around to it. And thanks to a joke from Ana Navarro, the segment ended in raucous laughter.As the first segment landed on the Democrats’ agenda, Sunny Hostin argued the party needs to be talking about the things they want to do more — for example, canceling student loan debt — rather than letting conversation be dominated by GOP antics.
Ron DeSantis revoking Disney’s special tax district privileges and self-governing abilities.DeSantis signed the measure into law on Friday, marking the latest move by the Governor who has repeatedly railed against “woke corporations.” It was widely viewed as retaliation to Disney over their objections to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. To kick off the discussion on Monday, “View” host Ana Navarro admitted that though she originally supported DeSantis when he became Florida’s governor, she’s lost faith in him and is “really bothered” by his actions against Disney.“I don’t understand, though, how you can call yourself a pro-business, pro-freedom of speech, small government, against canceling conservative, if you want to cancel one of the major corporations in Florida for freely speaking their mind in protection of their employees,” Navarro said.She also pointed out how the bill primarily targets Disney, which is definitely not the only company to have a special tax district in the state.“There are 1,844 special taxing districts in Florida. And so it was to penalize and take revenge against Disney for having dared cross a pet legislative cause of theirs, and that is wrong,” Navarro added.
The hosts of “The View” aren’t impressed with the stance some Republican politicians have taken on Dr. Oz.
like Laura Ingraham, have called “a mistake.” The hosts of “The View” then dug in on the apparent fascination with installing celebrities into political office (though, as Behar pointed out, female celebrities like Roseanne Barr and Cynthia Nixon have not had the same luck people like Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger have had).As the conversation went on, host Sunny Hostin questioned why Oz is still even a celebrity at this point, considering some of his past actions, including in 2018 when Oz settled a class action lawsuit claiming he misrepresented the effectiveness some weight loss pills.“I thought he sort of went into ill repute but that’s obviously not important to a lot of people,” Hostin said. “It certainly isn’t important to the former, twice disgraced, impeached President.”Meanwhile, Behar questioned why Oz ever joined the Republican party in the first place, considering his chosen career path, which is obviously reliant on scientific evidence.“What does it say about a physician, Oz, who’s now in a party that denies science?” Behar said.
She’ll be back. Whoopi Goldberg will be absent from ABC’s The View for an extended period of time, but Joy Behar assured viewers that it’s only a temporary leave of absence.
Will Smith’s punishment from the Academy was enough. But for Joy Behar, it was nothing to write home about. On Friday, it was announced that Smith has been barred from the Oscars for 10 years as a consequence of him slapping Chris Rock during the awards ceremony last month.
Clayton Davis Will Smith, Chris Rock and the Academy may feel they can turn the page on this dramatic chapter following the announcement that Smith would be banned from the ceremony for 10 years. But there’s too much reliance on written statements and not enough acknowledgment that multiple apologies are missing from all parties. For Smith, who won best actor for his performance as Serena and Venus Williams’ father in “King Richard,” an Instagram post saying he “accepts and respect the Academy’s decision” is not the type of penance the general public, the industry, your colleagues and co-stars are expecting.
LOS ANGELES -- The motion picture academy on Friday banned Will Smith from attending the Oscars or any other academy event for 10 years following his slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards.The move comes after a meeting of the academy's Board of Governors to discuss a response to Smith's actions.

most controversial night in Oscars history. The 94th Academy Awards were, of course, marred by Will Smith slapping presenter Chris Rock in the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Kimmel, whose show runs on ABC, the same network that carries the Oscars, began by showing the clip of Smith walking up on stage and striking Rock in front of the audience.
