Ben Shapiro recently shared his response to Joy Behar, who said in an episode of The View on May 30, 2025, that she would kiss Jennifer Lopez. Notably, Ben reposted a video from the episode through his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on May 31, 2025.

The clip was originally shared by The View on the same platform, and Shapiro wrote in his tweet:

“@JoyVBehar, 82, just offered to make out with JLo, 55, to prove me wrong about older women acting like teenage clowns. It’s a bold strategy."

The political commentator said there are “elderly people” trying to get attention in some manner. Ben's words referred to Jennifer’s appearance at the American Music Awards on May 26, 2025, where the singer was spotted kissing her backup dancers during a performance, as per Inquirer.

The video posted by The View on X started playing Ben’s reaction to the kissing, where he addressed the fact that Jennifer is 55 years old, and added:

“There is this thing that’s happening in our culture where a bunch of people are masquerading as 17 year olds. You see it in the manosphere too. You see a bunch of people, who are sort of in the podcast space, who are cosplaying at being 17-year-old be and b*tthead types.”

Joy Behar said that Ben’s comment was the “dumbest statement” she had ever heard. While the co-hosts of The View continued discussing Shapiro’s response, a video played where Behar was spotted kissing a few women. The comedian and television host admitted that she had kissed many women on the show.

Co-host Ana Navarro seemingly told Joy to kiss Jennifer Lopez when the actress would appear on the show. Behar said in her response:

“I’ll be happy to kiss her.”

According to People magazine, Tiffany Haddish also reacted to the performance on stage by saying:

“Save a dancer for me, J.Lo. Damn! You ain’t the only one out here single.”

While Ben Shapiro’s comments on Jennifer Lopez’s performance are trending everywhere, the Shotgun Wedding star has yet to respond to the same. Jennifer has not announced any new album so far, and her last major project was This Is Me… Now, which came out in February 2024.
