'The View' Panel Apologizes For Making Nurse Jokes After 'Miss America' Pageant

Joy Behar and Michelle Collins address comments they made about Miss Colorado's monologue.

[katietuten]

"I didn't know she was a nurse." Yet Miss Colorado says she is a nurse, not to mention it is plainly obvious. The entire performance was centered around being a nurse. That doesn't make up for the ignorant comment about her stethoscope or scrubs. I'm a student nurse in maternity and I use my stethoscope more than 10 times a day on 1 mother and baby. That doesn't include the other 7 patients I can have. This didn't feel like an apology, it felt like them just covering their backsides. And Joy played dumb instead of admitting a mistake. Nurses are forgiving, but you got to be honest.

This was far from an apology.. They brought up the issue, said it was taken out of context, got misconstrued, and told people to pay attention and listen. Not ONCE was there an actual apology said.

[raginghate]

"I think nurses are so compassionate" .... More like "what else can I say to get the viewers back and keep my job."

[stevehuber]

No one on that tape apologized. Not once.

[crestonsimpson]

their only apologizing to save face and because their being made to

[roxiegarcia]

joy seems bothered that they needed to apologize

[melvinaanderson]

Joy Behur...Your niece is a nurse and you didn't know that nurses use/wear stethoscopes...REALLY????  You haven't been paying attention for a long

[kellybmj]

Too little, too late! That was the most bogus apology I have ever heard! I hope they continue to lose more sponsors despite this feeble attempt of mea culpa. I have been a nurse for 30+ years and I am not accepting of this apology.

[Gina]

I stopped watching The View long ago because of Joy Behar's rude comments and I will never watch it as long as she is on the show.

[louiepcs]

FAKE FAKE FAKE! They can't even fake their apology right. So not sincere. Especially that Collins. She comes across like a person incapable of love, except for herself. I don't watch the view but I have much respect for nurses.

[jonbarfield]

my wife is a nurse, and I am not laughing.

[susanpadilla]

That was not an apology at all. Excuses, excuses.

[TheAJR]

This isn't the first time they had to apologize for being stupid and ignorant though. When you apologize in my opinion it means you'll be more respectful and more attentive next time. At a certain point people need to understand they aren't giving a sincere apology. They are saying sorry I got in trouble not sorry I was disrespectful... We need to Cancel this show!

[rzkf]

So, when they realize maybe nurses have a backbone and aren't taking this bull from ignorant TV hosts, they try to "apologize" by placing the blame on the viewers for not paying attention. I'm not buying it ladies.

[TUCKERTOBY]

They need to apologize for airing "The View" at all!

[angelaakins]

I did not see an apology merely excuses and lame ones at that...

[lolisdeleon]

every one gets butt hurt too easily these days

[RdtheLiterature]

Lol! Soo funny...they got chewed out by the producers.

[HappySlayer]

Apologize for what. Fuck that shit, even nurses need to be made fun off.

[drm]

Fake apology, I'm sorry YOU misunderstood
