'The View': Backstage Blow-Ups!

1023view.jpg

Finger-pointing, screaming, F-bombs -- "The View" has turned into a televised battleground! Now, reports say the constantly bickering duo, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, are taking their feud off-camera.

After months of on-air explosions, celeb gossip site Defamer.com reports the drama has moved backstage, reporting that after yesterday's show, Joy got into Elisabeth's face, yelling, "Shut the f--- up," and "I will burn you down!" This alleged war of words came minutes after conservative radio host Bill O'Reilly took a jab at liberal Behar, saying, "You're name is Joy -- you should be joyful."

Today, both women displayed a show of solidarity by walking out arm-in-arm, insisting the outrageous claims are completely wrong. "I resent it when they misquote, or make up lies," Behar stated. "I don't like it!" The former "Survivor" chimed in, "The fact that those articles can carry such life based on lies... it's awful."

Fellow hostess Whoopi Goldberg echoed denials of a "View" battle on "Good Morning America" today, insisting the heated discussions don't inspire bad blood. "There are no feuds, there is no rancor," said Goldberg. "It's just a bunch of broads disagreeing about stuff."

There is an upside to the rumors -- after a dramatic drop, ratings are up. Barbara Walters insists that despite fundamentally different beliefs, the "View" crew is sticking together. "It's just been a very successful year... it's like sitting down at your dinner table, and then when it's done I hope you feel that you've had a very good meal."

Sticking together yes, but don't expect them to tone down their commentary. On today's show, Joy delivered a zinger after Elisabeth announced she'll hit the campaign trail with Sarah Palin. "Take some pictures," stated Behar. "I want to see her wardrobe."

I really enjoy listening to the very different “views” that are presented on the show… Thank you!! Also, I love Whoopie’s wardrobe! Wish I could find similar clothing!

I think elisabeth should be replaced. I have watched the view for a very long time. I cant seem to watch it anymore. I get really upset when I watch it and it all seems to be about Elisabeth and her feelings. Who cares she is crying again. Same ole same ole. She should just shut up and let somebody else speak. Really I think she should have been replaced a long time ago. She brings the show down to her level and the rest of the view doesnt deserve to be on the same stage with such a winer..The other women act like grownups and really has good topics until the cry baby has her say, then it is all downhill…

I think Mrs.Elizabeth need to be replaced, that girl have issues. I’ve listen to her comments during the election campaign and I felt that Elizabeth don’t get it. She rattles at the mouth and she doesn’t have her facts straight at times and when she wrong she so silly she keeps talking and want listen long enough to be objective. I personally have watch this show the view when it first aired, I liked Ms.Debbie who later went on to bigger and better things, also Lisa Lang whom I just love watching her specials on Oprah, Lisa have proven to be a force to wrecking with however, Oprah only wants the best. But, for Ms. Thang I do not see a career change or an adjustment. Rosie told her were to get off at have bounce back and Star who was let go for poor ratings and they refuse to renew her contract. However, the View wants to keep ditzy Elizabeth I don’t see the view have enough durability to with stand the storm with a another couple of years of I think Mrs.E.H needs to retire and stay home and be good wify and mother that’s her qualification right there because that girl is not charming nor have enough personality to remain in front of the camera. Because, she simply isn’t people smart she say things that probably would have gotten the View sued or taking off the air. If it wasn’t for Ms. Barbra Walter her self constant doing damage control and how long do Ms. Barbra herself expects that to last I personally loves when Ms.Joy tear into her behind,because that’s what that girl needs is stiff kick in the rear end. Barbra, that girl is going to be the down fall of the view, so continue keep her on the show watch how your creditablity and reputation going to be judge, because you are not making business decision,you
are making personal decision I guess you are getting kinda the soft Ms.Walters be the woman I know you can be and kan that Mrs.E.H but, don’t do it until her contract is up isn’t that the right thing to do that’s what you did to Ms.Starr Jones, and you ended Rosie before time it probably cost you but wait until her time is up and it want cost you a dime.

ELISABETH HAS A MACHINE GUN MOUTH. IF SHE WOULD SLOW DOWN A BIT, SHE WOULD GET HER POINT ACROSS NICELY. I ALSO AGREE WITH ANOTHER COMMENTOR. THE VIEW NEEDS 2 CONSERVATIVES ON THE SHOW.

That is a pretty pitiful zinger. Behar is like Carla Tortelli at retirement age. Just insufferable and embarrasingly unfunny-her metaphors don’t even make sense. I normally like Italians.

Hey jus passin’ thru

Perhaps your not the best at reading then? And you complain about my arguing with everyone, and you take your pop shot at me?? Pot calling the kettle black? (Oh wait maybe we can’t say that anymore, with all these super sensitives regarding our “black” President)?? lol. This place is for comments,.. good, bad, or indifferent about the topic we’re all typing under, it’s one thing to disagree with an opinion, but an entirely different thing to personally attack someone HERE or THEIR character, when you know nothing about the individual. THAT has been my “argument” all along.

If you had in fact READ, you’d see that I already stated my opinion about the view, and the FATNESS came from someone else posting after I had said “get off your lazy butt up and change the channel”.. I didn’t say anything about “fatness” but someone took it to be so.. and I was nothing but attacked over that one with all fingers pointing at me insulting obese people??

Read, Read, Read,.. get the story straight, then YOU TELL ME what the “problem” is? This thread is about the VIEW, no yours truly!

i read all the comments and no one says anything about “fatness” what is your problem LMAO? perhaps you should audtion for the VIEW becuz u like to argue with everyone posting comments. Elisabeth would chew u up and spit u out, i wish they could replace her with another conservative. Elisabeth has a machine gun mouth. i m a conservative and can’t stand her.

What Obama becoming President to “black people”? Is that what this is about??

I understand the excitement, but please, when is all this “newness” gonna ware off and he is “just President Obama”? He’s still very much a “celebrity” to me, and that’s disturbing.


- What?

Joy seems to be handling Elisabeth pretty well. EH’s attitude will bring her down in the long run. When Whoopi tried to explain to her what Obama being elected means to black people, she turned a TOTALLY deaf ear (“I don’t need an education!”).

You are WRONG!!

This blog BELONGS TO ME!!!!!!!


(are you truly thinking before you type such sillyness)??

When have I become such the icon that I now control and own this site? You’re giving me way too much credit.

By the way renegade thanks SO MUCH for pointing out the “heading” of this thread to me??

Yet, your POST was ALL ABOUT ME, and nothing what-so-ever to do with the TOPIC.

Here’s mine..

I don’t like the VIEW, it’s a bunch of catty cattle-whawling women hen pecking each other over petty nonsense. I have never liked Bah Bah Wah Wah, Joy is a loud mouthed piece of crap, and whoopie thinks she is the autority on everything! Elizabeth IS annoying, but of the cast of idiots I guess I feel for her most being the singled out target of every arguement.. (boy does that sound familiar to ME).. Perhaps that is why I can “relate” to her??


- LMAO

this blog doesnt belong 2 u lmao, and as someone else commented that the topic was the “view” not “lmao”. check out the heading it states: “the view, backstage blowups.”

What the hell are you people doing on here? Isn’t the mickey mouse club on or something?

Perhaps you three should conduct the forum on the View? You seem indifferent to ridicule apparently!

“inferiority complex”

“neurotic in nature”

To Starlight.. the person ANSWERING to the post by LMAO brought up FATNESS, at least point the finger in the right direction?

To Penny.. “an offensive person”.. try sticking to the subject of the “opinion” and not the actual PERSON?

And to Heather.. For someone that likes “everyones opinion good or bad”.. you sure took an “opinion” very PERSONALLY!!??

Such catty little girls, perhaps gossiping on line isn’t the best choice for you three.

I LOOKED AT ALL THE COMMENTS AND LMAO NO ONE ASKED U FOR YOUR RESUME. I COULD CARE LESS WHAT U DO. THE SUBJECT IS ABOUT THE VIEW, NOT LMAO. THE VIEW IS A GOOD VARIETY SHOW. I WATCH IT ONCE A WEEK. TOPICS ARE INTERESTING. YOU ARE AN OFFENSIVE PERSON. I AGREE WITH ANNIE.

LMAO, u r starting to attack obese people..stay on the subject of the view. I weigh 110 lbs, so go ahead make fun of me too like u have everyone else. to anonymous, don’t let LMAO BULLY YOU HE MUST SUFFER FROM AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

Oooooh.. seems I’ve touched a nerve in the “anonymous” one!? You must indeed be suffering from obesity! You gave yourself away..

Of course I inserted my opinion, I don’t watch the View, but that doesn’t, by any means, mean I have never seen the program? Duh.

The entire time you have just spent “ranting” about my own opinion, you made absolutely no opinion made on the thread at issue?

My personal life is none of your business or issue to worry yourself about. I am indeed NOT over-weight, rather average and fit- truth be known. And indeed I have been in the broadcasting industry now for TWENTY-FIVE years.. since your ever so inquiring mind seems to need to know??

Unlike yourself,.. I will not be a part of the “welfare” system that President Elect will be supporting, I’ll in fact be one of those hard working americans working to support your own FAT AZZZZZZ!

Perhaps inserting an opinion regarding the issue would have been a better pay-off for you. Your assumptions are as rediculous as your rhetoric, and quick attempt to belittle another person whom you haven’t a CLUE about??!


My comment about “getting off ones lazy butt” to change the channel weren’t directed to any ONE particular person posting? Obviously, (without even saying the word “fat”) you felt that it was directed only to yourself!


- LMAO

LMAO u don’t watch the view, yet u r commenting on something that u have no clue about. how do u expect anyone to listen to your opinion and to that person u made a comment about getting of their lazy butt..why don’t u get off your fat azz and be productive and get yourself a “job” like the rest of us who have to earn a living. u can’t do it becuz u have 200 channels to watch huh?
