The View’s Joy Behar has been criticised for making a “tone-deaf” comment about the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The Independent has contacted Behar’s representatives for comment. Behar isn’t the only celebrity to comment on the escalating crisis in eastern Europe.
Hours afterwards, the topic was being discussed on US chat show The View, when presenter Behar shared her frustration at having to cancel her forthcoming holiday to Italy as a result.
Viewers took to Twitter to accuse the presenter of “narcissism” for focusing on her family holiday at a time of international crisis.
