Joy Behar, 84, returns to ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday morning after nearly a month away, following a shoulder injury. Multiple outlets say she dislocated her shoulder after an incident backstage or on set in early October, and she had been absent since late September.
Reporting also highlights how she describes the severity of her pain. Variety and The Independent frame her account of the injury, with Variety specifically stating she describes the pain as “worse than childbirth.” Other coverage emphasizes her visible return to the show and notes her leaning or walking with co-host Sara Haines as she comes back.
The main differences across outlets are the specificity of injury details and the emphasis on phrasing and on-stage imagery. While all sources align on the fact of her return and the shoulder injury, the degree of detail about the fall and the exact comparison to childbirth varies depending on the outlet.
