THE View fans have accused host Joy Behar of using a body double for a wild show segment in the Bahamas on Wednesday.

A key detail has been spotted that points to the 79-year-old not taking part in the dangerous situation, after all.

At the start of Wednesday’s episode, host Sara Haines and guest co-host Ana Navarro were outside, looking around for Joy.

They were hanging out by a massive slide, and Ana told Sara that they shouldn’t be searching there because it would be “crazy” for Joy to be there, since “she doesn’t do water parks.”

“You’re right,” Sara said, before all of a sudden noticing Joy waving at the top of the giant water slide.

“Joy! The show’s about to start,” Sara yelled up to her, hoping she’d just come back down the steep stairs.

Instead, the longtime View host opted for the slippery way down.

“Okay, okay, I’ll be right down,” Joy told them.

Ana and Sara both looked horrified as they realized she was coming down the water slide.

Viewers see someone, supposedly Joy, shooting down the tall slide, with water splashing all over, but fans don’t think it was actually her.

Especially after they, and cohosts Sara and Ana, realized that Joy didn’t even appear to be wet when she emerged from the ride.

One viewer insisted: “Joy didn’t [go] down that damn slide….that was a body double.”

Another agreed, writing: “Yeah, Joy ain't really slide down no slide!”

A third wrote: “Joy won't on that damn slide”

Another said: “Chile I swear that was a body double!”

Later on in the episode, though, when it came time to air another Joy-centric skit on the show, it didn't go as smoothly.

The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg stunned fans after making multiple rude comments to Joy during the show, with one of them arriving before the 79-year-old introduced her segment.

They had just gotten back from a break, and Joy was ready to speak to introduce a taped segment she’d done of her trying her hand at bartending.

Though it was all on the schedule and planned, the Sister Act actress still rushed her.

Whoopi said: “Okay, I hear you may have found a new calling here at Baha Mar, Joy. What’s up?”

After being asked about, Joy responded: “Yeah, I had a little adventure of my own yesterday.”

“Do tell,” Whoopi told her, but then she rushed her, adding: “Quick.”

Fans were surprised by the comment that seemed uncalled for, with one tweeting: “Whoopi said ‘Do tell, quick,” adding that it was “the ‘quick’ part” for them.

While Whoopi often tells her co-hosts to speak fast when they ask to get one last thing in before a commercial break, this time it appeared to come out of nowhere.

Later on, the moderator worked to hurry up her co-host again and told her, “Ask your question, ask your question.”

After Joy and Chloe spoke for a little during the segment, then Whoopi interrupted and instead of casually letting know Joy it was time to go to break, she made it an awkward moment.

“Say, Joy,” Whoopi said, leaning over the table, in front of host Sara Haines, so she was closer to Joy.

The Sister Act actress continued, while pointing behind the camera: “See that man over there.”

Getting the hint, Joy said: “Oh, yeah, sorry. We have to go.”

This came after Whoopi shocked fans with a rude comment toward another co-host, Sunny Hostin, earlier this month.
