Recently, Joy Behar opened her ignorant yap and insulted the Celiac community (not just the gluten free community), the actual Celiac community.
She randomly blurted out: "How annoying is Gluten Free?"
One of the men mentioned Celiac Disease, and Behar asked, "How many people actually have Celiac Disease?" She continued with her ignorant rant, saying that Celiac Disease is a bunch of baloney. She said: If you have a disease that celebrities can pinch, you will find a cure for the disease. So Celiac is the new disease (Celiac has been around for a very long time).
Here's more of her rant:
"If celebrities don't have the disease, they will never find a cure."
*She's basically saying that celebrities(and those of us with the disease) fake having the disese because it's a fad or trendy. *
I'm wondering if she would ever call out people with cancer, diabetes, HS, MS, and say that their illness is "baloney" or "trendy."
Listen, I understand that people like her are ignorant and don't give two sh*ts about our community. If this woman had half a brain and half a heart, she would do her research. This woman co-hosted The View with Elizabeth Hasslebeck, who we all know has Celiac. Is she calling her former co-worker's illness trendy?
This is why education is so important. People like her need to realize that what we suffer is REAL. Trust me, a good portion of us (myself included) would love nothing more than to eat regular food. Unfortunately, we can't. We have this for the rest of our lives.
Ms. Behar,
I understand that you feel that you're "above it all." I understand that you believe that you know everything about everything. Unfortunately, you hit way below the belt. Celiac Disease is a very real and devastating illness, one that I suffer serious complications from. My grandmother was diagnosed with it in the 1980s and I watched the disease slowly kill her (I inherited the disease from her). Joe C., Kid Rock's best friend, died from the disease. Look it up!
I don't think that this disease is trendy. How can you call ANY disease trendy, especially one that KILLS PEOPLE? Lady, I don't know who you are, but you must be a very miserable person to spew so much hatred. It must be so easy for you to insult the Celiac community, while you lay up in your mansion, wiping your nasty butt with $100 bills. All the money in the world couldn't fix your stupidity and ignorance.
Normally I wouldn't go off like this, especially when celebrities call out the gluten free community. However, when someone calls out a community that suffers a DISEASE, I will call them out on it.
I apologize for my rant, but I felt like something needed to be said. If you want to hear more of what this evil spawn of Satan said, you can watch it below.
PS-I promise my next post will be more positive, LOL!
