The news came as a shock to many fans of the long-running show, which has been a staple of daytime TV since 1997. Goldberg and Behar, two of the show’s most prominent and outspoken hosts, have long been the driving forces behind the show’s blend of political commentary, celebrity interviews, and hot-button discussions. But according to sources close to the network, their “toxic” presence has finally worn out its welcome.
Rumors of discord behind the scenes at The View have circulated for years, with reports of heated arguments, walkouts, and feuds between the hosts. But according to insiders, the last few seasons have been particularly contentious, with Goldberg and Behar at the center of many of the show’s most explosive moments.
“Whoopi and Joy have always been passionate, but lately it’s just been too much,” said one insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “It feels like every discussion turns into a shouting match, and the atmosphere on set has become unbearable. It’s not just about what happens on camera; it’s the behind-the-scenes drama that’s really taken a toll on everyone.”
