The View's Joy Behar, 81, lays bare the shocking sexual harassment she faced while working as a teacher - and the harrowing incident with her boss that left her 'revulsed'


Before finding fame as a comedian and a TV star, Joy, 81, used to teach English at a Long Island school from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, and it was here that she endured the unwanted attention.

The 81-year-old comedian, who recently joked on The View that she wants to get it on with a lady when she's 90, used to teach English at Lindenhurst Senior High School on Long Island from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, and it was here that she endured a spate of sexual harassment. The first person article, which was published on Air Mail in February, begins with an incident which occurred in the classroom when a department head came to observe one of Joy's lessons and told her afterwards: 'You were so good, I could’ve f**ked you on the blackboard.' The upcoming non-fiction book was first announced back in November 2023 and will see Joy share stories on various subjects, including relatives, hair, erections, bullies and romance.
