Joy Behar: Honey Boo Boo Will "Grow Up to Be a Big Fat Woman"



At 69 years old, Joy Behar should know better than to pick on a 7-year-old kid.

In a September 5 interview with the Huffington Post, the View star predicts the future is grim for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star Alana Thompson, who first gained fame on the TLC reality series Toddlers & Tiaras.

"What's little Honey Boo Boo going to grow up to be? That's what I want to know?" Behar asks. "She's going to be a fat kid; she's going to grow up to be a big fat woman. She is, I can tell. She's just a kid, but you see the genetics are right there. She's going to have large boob boobs -- Honey Boobs Boobs."

Alana -- known for guzzling bottles of "go-go juice," a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew -- has often referred to herself and her family members as "fat" on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Matriarch June Shannon is aware of the health problems facing her family, which inspired her to initiate a weekly weight loss challenge. Though their results have been varied, they haven't stopped trying.

Still, Behar argues the family has a long way to go -- especially Alana, the most outspken of the bunch. "Wait until she grows to a 400 pound woman!" Behar, who also hosts Joy Behar: Say Anything! on Current TV, tells the Huffington Post.

So kinda like Joy herself?
annadraper 7th-Sep-2012 10:45 pm (UTC)
no, joy isn't fat. that kid's mom otoh is of blimp-like proportions. kids tend to follow their parent's footsteps, for better or worse. and lets face it, this kid is going to have a shit ton of emotional issues that most other kids dont because her mother is a fucking lunatic.

also, azarenka did the crip walk in celebration of winning her latest U.S. Open match. so awesome
ilovelucozade 7th-Sep-2012 09:40 pm (UTC)
I'm so annoyed she beat Maria. I hate Azarenka tbh and the fact she did the crip walk is even more annoying. I hope Serena whoops her ass in the finals.

i think it's probably an easy bet that the kid will grow up fat, but that's because of the lifestyle her family leads and the fact that the majority population is overweight. NOT because you can look at a 7 yr old and just "know" how fat she'll be and how big her boobs will be...that's an unnecessary thing to say about someone's child, and it's rude as fuck

i know she's just a kid but, i mean, it seems very likely. :/
publicfrenemy 7th-Sep-2012 09:35 pm (UTC)
on the one hand I wouldn't say hurtful things about a child.

on the other, this is all accurate.

SAYING THIS WHEN THE KID IS 7 YEARS OLD IS REALLY HELPFUL JOY.

jfc.
rctshack 7th-Sep-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
because exploiting the child on TV isn't? If anything Joy is pointing out the harsh reality that could save this girls future.
briknowsbest 7th-Sep-2012 11:00 pm (UTC)
never said exploiting the kid on tv was right, did I?
trinity_squared 7th-Sep-2012 09:35 pm (UTC)
Joy needs to shut her cunt hole and look in a fucking mirror. What a twat

wow... taking one from Joy's book I see. At least Joy is worried for a girls future, you are just being a terrible person for saying this.

I still can't get over that this woman is only 33.

she'll be dead before 50 if she doesn't change her lifestyle

Are you serious?? Omg
devochkazhenya 7th-Sep-2012 09:53 pm (UTC)
are you serious?! she looks like she's in her late forties/early fifties
hawaii_bombay 7th-Sep-2012 09:56 pm (UTC)
She's my age.
redhobbit 7th-Sep-2012 11:02 pm (UTC)
33? Shiz, I would have thought she was a decade older.
jeugd1 7th-Sep-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
LMAO what is she trying to say?
kurtvonnegut 7th-Sep-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
the extent to which people find so much happiness in dehumanizing poor and fat ppl is ridiculous. like you know joy thinks it's ok that she's overweight bc she's not poor.
grilled_cheese 8th-Sep-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
This comment is very true.
nicoolesays 7th-Sep-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
Oh, c'mon... I don't really follow this Toddlers and Tiaras stuff, but even if that's true, that is so not a necessary thing to say...

Fat people are going to be a huge burden on the healthcare system in the future because of all the problems they have but she didn't have to come out and say Honey Boo Boo is going to be 400lbs.
kurtvonnegut 7th-Sep-2012 09:38 pm (UTC)
like smokers are now and will be forever and ever amen?

except they don't get nearly as much shame lbr
thetxbelle 7th-Sep-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
I was actually going to edit my comment and say that but still smokers have lung cancer, COPD, high blood pressure and emphysema. IMO smokers get more shit.

Overweight people have Type 2 diabetes, heart disease (which is a combination of many problems), high blood pressure, certain cancers, joint problems.

Both problems suck and are going to cost us a shitload of money.
marinade 7th-Sep-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
Yeah, exactly. Cigarettes are still glamorized, the prevalence of lit cigarettes in photography spreads of famous people is abundant.

flying_pandas 7th-Sep-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
but everybody is going to be fat, so they'll be laying the same burden on each other - it will all even out.
hardbeats 7th-Sep-2012 10:00 pm (UTC)
that and they take more than their fair share of natural resources - thus causing tremendous strain on them and the food supply.

i saw some statistics that by the year 2030, more than half the US population will be obese. sickening.
butterbadger 7th-Sep-2012 10:05 pm (UTC)
This is why I'm leery of national healthcare. I do want everyone to have access to it, but I just worry about others having to pay for a person's bad lifestyle choices. IDK it's just Americans are so unhealthy overall.
cricketgrl 7th-Sep-2012 10:09 pm (UTC)
I honestly don't think so. Since I moved to Texas I encounter obese people all over cities and they are doing fine. Snarfing down buckets of BBQ ribs and Sweet Tea.

While in Los Angeles and New York you see people starving themselves to the point of cardiac failure or exercise to the point the fuck up their pulmonary system (ie. Me).

In my opinion there really is no clear answer. I think it all has to do with genetics. There plenty of obese people that live well into their 80s and 90's without diabetes, cholesterol or any kind of heart failures.
hazel_belle 7th-Sep-2012 10:13 pm (UTC)
"Fat people are going to be a huge burden on the healthcare system in the future because of all the problems they have

By using the term fat, are you including those that have a medical issue that causes them to have a drastic weight gain which is out of their control? I am genuinely curious about this, because according to your statement, because of my condition, I am going to be a burden on the healthcare system.
mikachanyo 7th-Sep-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
this comment is so disgusting. like seriously the fact that you and so many people think this way breaks my heart. truly disgusting to the core.

hunnichild 7th-Sep-2012 11:00 pm (UTC)
Tbh, the healtcare systems, as it stands now, deserves the burden because it does absolutely nothing to help prevent obesity. Throwing a food pyramid and height/weight chart initially made for insurance purposes is pointless. As long as we have healthcare that doesn't pay for nutritionists and other weight control and obesity-related services, it'll continue to be a problem further down the line. I can't even fathom being mad at fat people, I'm mad at the insurance companies that treat them like second class citizens because keeping them fat and uniformed makes them too much money.
harmlessbondage 7th-Sep-2012 11:21 pm (UTC)
women are a huge burden on the healthcare system, too. we shouldn't have to subsizide shit like pregnancy and breast, cervical, ovarian cancer treatments. fucking women and their health needs, always sucking up mah tax ollars.
obrien 7th-Sep-2012 11:27 pm (UTC)
You are one vile bitch, jfc.
ilovelucozade 7th-Sep-2012 09:37 pm (UTC)
Well she's right. More people need to be saying this instead of pretending that being fat is a good thing. It's NOT a good thing, it's very unhealthy.
nicenicegirl 7th-Sep-2012 09:37 pm (UTC)
it's not the 7 year olds fault tho
briknowsbest 7th-Sep-2012 09:38 pm (UTC)
right?
ilovelucozade 7th-Sep-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
Who said it was???

Joy said she's going to grow up to be fat and I said she's right. No where did I say, or imply, it's the child's fault.
teacup_humans 7th-Sep-2012 09:57 pm (UTC)

pink_dog 7th-Sep-2012 10:22 pm (UTC)
this is what breaks my heart so much

my daughter's best friend is overweight, and my best friend from childhood is/was/always has been too

when you're a little kid and you grow up in a household that encourages behaviors that distort your food intake, you don't stand a chance

it makes me want to cry. I don't want my friend or my daughter's friend to die from a weight-related ailment one day. Perhaps I am extra-sensitive to this lately as a few weeks ago one of my dramatically overweight friends died in her sleep at age 41 and my husband's dramatically overweight friend laid down on the couch and died at age 50.

it's scary.
kurtvonnegut 7th-Sep-2012 09:39 pm (UTC)
yes, frowning on picking on a 7 year old is saying being fat is a good thing.
camillesaens 7th-Sep-2012 09:42 pm (UTC)
she's still fucking seven though.

she hasn't even began taking responsibilities on her own yet.

its a bit too early, donchathink?
flying_pandas 7th-Sep-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
YES, SHAME THE FATTIES - IT'S FOR THEIR HEALTH - WON'T. SOMEONE. PLEASE. THINK. OF. THE. FATTIES'. HEALTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cricketgrl 7th-Sep-2012 10:13 pm (UTC)
I'm thin and worked out solid for 12 years of my life and now my lungs are fucked. I may not have diabetes or High blood pressure but with my lungs damaged its only a matter of time before my heart starts to develop issues.

My doctor is monitoring me closely and now have a minimal exercise pattern. I'm basically doing senior citizen workouts currently.
sastra_fuss 7th-Sep-2012 10:19 pm (UTC)
Ok, and how does that help them? It doesn't. Bullying people, trying to shame them doesn't do shit. If Joy isn't buying them healthy food, motivating them to exercielse, then she needs to shut the fuck and get out of the way.
sunshinefun27 7th-Sep-2012 10:52 pm (UTC)
No one thinks being fat is healthy. But I think for most people, you have to embrace it before you can lose it. It's very hard to lose weight if you look at yourself and hate your body. Because when you get upset about your weight, you eat. Part of why I was chubby as a teenager was because I was depressed. Telling people they're fat and making them feel inferior is only going to make them fatter. I didn't lose weight until I gained some confidence and experimented with types of weight loss. And when you tell someone they're going to be this or that, it influences them and makes them more likely to fill the mold expected of them.
d00ditsemily 7th-Sep-2012 11:14 pm (UTC)
Body and fat shaming isn't a good thing either.
harmlessbondage if shame was enough to keep people "skinny," there would be no fat people.7th-Sep-2012 11:26 pm (UTC)
but fat people still exist, so obviously shame is a shitty motivator and really only serves the purpose of making you feel superior.

ergo, shut up. QED. lol
pearkiwi 8th-Sep-2012 12:02 am (UTC)
I saw a screencap of someone talking about how their vet *~fat shamed~* their dog.

A few people pointed out that dogs are different then people; and the OP must either be not giving the dog enough exercise, or feeding it crappy food, and recommending they get tests done.

The vast vast majority of the replies were along the lines of "sorry that happened to you bb, if humans can be healthy at all sizes, so can dogs!" And just, yeah. /css
expromqueen 8th-Sep-2012 05:15 am (UTC)
i don't know anyone who is fat and happy about it...who is pretending it's a good thing?
