Viewers are outraged after host Sunny draws comparisons between Kim Kardashian and Raquel Welch
Today’s episode of The View descended into chaos after host Sunny Hostin compared Kim Kardashian to the late Raquel Welch, a comparison that was widely criticized by her fellow hosts.
Audience members booed and viewers sent a slurry of angry Tweets after the iconic Hollywood legend, who passed away yesterday, was brought up in conversation.
While the show was honoring the Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C. actor earlier today, Sunny made the sexist remarks.
Whoopi Goldberg had to change the subject abruptly as the atmosphere turned hostile after Sunny made her statement, with the panelists strongly disagreeing with her.
Joy Behar was saying that ‘there aren’t any sex symbols like Raquel anymore’ when Sunny chimed in to say: “Well, Kim Kardashian is.” Whoopi’s quick response was, “No!”
The audience started to yell and boo when Joy added: “Kardashian? No.” Sunny seemingly couldn’t believe the reaction as she appeared shocked, holding her hand to her chest.
Joy tried to make light of the situation, quickly adding: “Turning, turning, turning. The audience is turning!”
The audience started to yell and boo when Joy added: “Kardashian? No.” Sunny seemingly couldn’t believe the reaction as she appeared shocked, holding her hand to her chest.
A third wrote: “Kim K, really sunny?” When another said: “They quickly turned on Sunny when she mentioned Kim Kardashian as a sex symbol.
“And I have to agree with the audience.”
Last night, after a “brief illness,” Raquel, 82, passed away.
She rose to fame for her 1960s movie roles, quickly becoming one of the industry’s most sought-after stars.
Her family confirmed the tragic news to TMZ. Raquel won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her 1974 role in The Three Musketeers.
It was her legendary fuzzy bikini in One Million Years B.C. in 1966 that made her an unforgettable pinup girl.
