Joy Behar is obviously serious about her signature look, but she still lets her hair down on vacation. Well, actually, she wipes her makeup off. In 2016, Behar took a break from working to vacation in Cuba and made sure to pack a few makeup wipes for the ride. In a photo uploaded to her Instagram account, Behar looked completely unrecognizable as she sported her bare face while posing with what appeared to be a Cuban cigar. The comic’s fresh-faced look went over well with some of her fans, including one who wrote, “This photo is iconic!” However, many more commenters were noticeably unkind about Behar’s appearance despite the fact that she was in her mid-seventies in the photo. Come on!
Despite the comments from a few bitter Betties, Behar posted a couple more photos from her trip. One photo featured her in an all-black getup, posed in front of a very large, interesting outdoor art installation. Behar wore the same clothes from her cigar photo, but this time, she traded in her glasses for sunglasses. “This is an entire neighborhood in Cuba made of ceramic — done by the artist Jose Fuster,” the comic captioned the Instagram photo. Behar continued giving her skin a break from makeup, flaunting her bare face for the camera. The comments underneath this photo were slightly less inflammatory, but there were still a few haters in the midst. Fortunately, Behar has über tough skin!
