Do you believe anyone in Hollywood can have a spotless reputation? Is it possible to avoid controversy with all the lights and cameras pointed at you? Dolly Parton may not be perfect, but she’s had so many hits that she’s endeared herself to almost every generation. Many consider her a national treasure. Calling her out is dangerous. Joy Behar, one of the hosts of daytime talk show The View, wasn’t afraid to do it. It all happened when Beyonce, another almost unassailable name, decided to release her country album.

She included a cover of Jolene with the lyrics changed. Joy said she preferred the new version but went further than that. She labeled Dolly an anti-feminist. She didn’t like the original words about pleading another woman not to take your man. Dolly had been on The View before to discuss feminism. She doesn’t want to take the label or be involved in anything political. Her work shows she does believe in equality and empowerment. Look at films such as 9 to 5 and songs such as Just Because I’m a Woman.
Her friends don’t want to make the controversy any worse than it already is. Reba McEntire, one of her best friends and coworkers, politely refused to comment. This wasn’t the first time Joy was involved in controversy. She received flack for the way she responded to a comment about there not being any attractive cast members on SNL. She said beauty would distract from the comedy. This is also not likely to be the last time Joy’s comments spark ire. She is a talk show host in the age of the internet, after all.
