A doctored photo in this month’s Hustler magazine depicting conservative commentator S.E. Cupp performing oral sex sparked outraged discussion on the ABC show “The View” today.
Whoopi Goldberg, one of the co-hosts of the daytime talk show, said that Cupp, who writes for the New York Daily News, is a “friend of ‘The View,'” and that the picture in Hustler “is really going to piss a lot of you women off.”
Cupp, 33, appeared in the audience and told the hosts that she was “horrified” when she saw the explicit picture. There was a disclaimer on the page saying that the photo was not real.
Larry Flynt, who published the magazine, said the photo was satirical.
Goldberg said that was not enough. “Whether you’re conservative or a Democrat, this is not OK,” she said on the show. “This is offensive. This is not the dialogue that we have when we disagree.”
“It’s not funny in any way. It’s offensive and horrifying and we’re sorry that they did,” co-host Joy Behar said. “We know her for years. I love her. She’s a darling girl and this is just disgusting.”
“I was horrified,” Cupp said. “It was disgusting and, even though I didn’t actually do that, by the end of the day, I felt ashamed as if I had. And knowing this photo will be out there forever. My children will see it when I have them one day. It’s sad. I’m sad.”
