On HLN’s Joy Behar, director Kevin Smith talks about his decision to stop appearing on Howard Stern‘s radio show, saying it’s not because the two stars are having “a feud,” but rather, he’s just not willing to put up with what he described as Stern’s bullying tactics. “I’m too old for that,” he tells host Joy Behar in an interview set to air Friday.

Smith says after a long run of appearances with Stern, his final visit to the show “broke (his) heart,” when he says Stern mocked him for “always calling in and trying to be on the show,” something Smith says isn’t true. He compared Stern to a “popular kid” who’s nice in private, but “then, when other people are looking, he’s like, ‘look at the fat guy! Fat guy’s a loser!’”

“I’m not mad at him,” Smith says. “I’d much rather go someplace where they share the ball and they aren’t going to make you feel bad.”

Anyone who goes on that show has no self respect to start with, therefor no right to complain

So Smith goes on Joykiller Behar’s show? Behar is like the “un-popular kid” who is unhappy because she knows she is unattractive and has a lousy personality, so she spends her time spreading gossip and trying to tear everybody down so that she brings everyone down to her own level and everybody is miserable just like her.

Kevin Smith sounds like a whiny little bitch here; the kind of whiny little bitch that a “schoolyard bully” would pick on.

If you don’t wanna go on Stern anymore, then don’t go. Your dirty laundry stinks, don’t air it out in front of us.

Anyone who listens to Stern–and I’ve been a listener for over 20 years–knows that there are certain people–major stars like, say, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Anthony Hopkins–that Howard will not insults.

But Howards always been a hypocrite. I remember him once calling Soon-Yi Previn ugly–with a face “like a catcher’s mitt”. But then cry for days because the “racist” Jaimie Pressley came on and said his face looked like it was stamped with the map of Israel.
