Joy Behar Predicts Honey Boo Boo To Become 'Big Fat Woman'
by Sean ComerWell, how perfectly uncalled-for.
Screwing with adults? Kardashians? Lindsay Lohan? Amanda Bynes? Hell, Kristen Stewart? That's one thing. But let Joy Behar telling The Huffington Post that Honey Boo Boo, TLC's 7-year-old basic-cable icon of exploiting the bizarre, is doomed to become a "big fat woman" henceforth mark the "you should know far, far better" line.
Indeed, the 69-year-old co-host of ABC's "The View" and host of Current TV's "Joy Behar: Say Anything" fears from watching TLC's off-kilter reality series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" that little Alana Thompson's family's nutritional philosophies has already doomed her to obesity.
"What's little Honey Boo Boo going to grow up to be? That's what I want to know?" Behar mused. "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."
"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."
A brief revelation in the interest of full disclosure: I'm not a parent. There's a better-than-50/50 chance, I'd say, that I'll never choose to be one. That said, I've paid rapt attention as my friends and loved ones have started families, and I've come to respect a hard, fast rule that a mother and grandmother such as Behar should have internalized by now.
"No matter how 'right' you may believe balls-to-bones that you are, or even actually be, you do not tell a mother how to raise her children."
You especially don't do it via one of the Internet's most widely-read, cited blogs.
More than likely, Behar is grousing in at least some part about the Honey Boo Boo quirk that made the pint-sized pageant contestant and her gregarious, robust and unusual mother June Shannon infamous during their stint on the third season of TLC's "Toddlers & Tiaras": the guzzling of "Go-Go Juice," June's concoction of Red Bull and Mountain Dew that Alana guzzled to get herself "up" for competition. On recent episodes of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," June has become increasingly aware of her family's poor health and has pushed (with questionable success) for everybody to slim down.
"Wait until she grows to a 400-pound woman!" Behar taunted.
