Behar did not seem to have a problem with Kelce’s “frankley” delightful posts about “Chipolte.” Instead, she wanted to discuss some of tweets body-shaming women. “Here’s one of his quotes, ‘Damn, the Clippers girls gotta be the girls that don’t make the Lakers team ’cause they was all ugly,’” Behar read aloud. “Forget about—He’s illiterate is more to the point.”
Behar also called attention to other tweets from his college football days like, “Why can’t girls hide they back fat?” and “I feel like if you want to be a cheerleader you have to pass a beauty test. There’s too many ugly cheerleaders out here.”
Though cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin claimed she wasn’t “defending” those specific tweets, she pointed out that Kelce is a part of the first true social media generation. “We documented everything,” Griffen said. “You gotta give people a little grace and hope that the way he treats women now is reflective of how he is as an adult.”
Whoopi Goldberg agreed, adding, “Young people do young people stuff. What you said 25 years ago may not be the way that you feel this time. So everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do.”
