'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 was very disappointed by the behaviour of both Joy and Elizabeth. I think that they both behaved like children. Neither showed any composure and both were extremely unprofessional. I felt embarassed by Joy’s treatment of guest Bill O’Reilly. Is she going to be rude to every guest that does not kiss her ***. She took the fun out of what could have been a good show yesterday.Grow up Joy! I used to really admire you.

Elizabeth is the most annoying and ridiculous person as there is on TV. I used to think it was Paris Hilton and her stupidity, but she takes the cake. I would never vote for McCain or anyone she advocates. She acts like an elitist, but only succeeds as being a “wanna be.” Just like all the hours and hours and hours of rehearsing and coaching Sarah Palin went through doesn’t a superior governess make, just because people are “talking” about you, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing. My dad used to say, “when they STOP talking about you, then you have to worry”
Well, when people stop watching your show, it’s too much talk. I no longer watch The View because of Hasselback.
It’s one thing to listen to different intelligent opinions and different “views”, but when you have someone constantly “acting” like they’re better than everyone else, it really brings down a show.

The only reason the others ladies gang up on Elisabeth is because she insists on sprewing half truths on behalf of the McCain campaign. Its like she is brain washed. She won’t even admit when the Republicans make a mistake, does something or says something that is flat out wrong or untrue. She has blinder’s on and can only see things one way.This includes other issues besides politics. I think that they try to be fair but her inability to hear what other are saying is frustrating to everyone including me.She doesn’t even consider other peoples views if they differ from hers. If she did then maybe she and Rosie would still be friends. Her actions speak very loudly. Glad I’m not sitting at that table. And she can keep those tears over the N word in her ducts. She has no clue what it is like to be called a N——-! on one occasion much less on a daily basis. She may want to understand, but no one really understands until they’re on the receiving end. Tired of Elisabeth, but won’t let her keep me from watching. Enjoy your View!!

Barbara walters needs to go.Also Sherri Sheperd also needs to go.Whoopi Goldberg needs to go.The show needs 5 new female Hosts like Marisa Tomei. Brittany snow.Julianne Nicholson.Bianca Lawson.Melanie Lynskey.They make better Hosts.The show would be better.

Elisabeth is a brilliant woman….she has more than earned the right to voice her opinions and those of you who are small minded enough to make these ignorant comments about her need to look in the mirror….what’s your beef? Jealous? Feeling Threatened? Could you hold a conversation with these women and not lose your cool? She does it 5 days a week and does it looking classy. Some of you have too much time on your hands if all you can do is try to knock someone who is trying to educate you on something you obviously don’t know a whole lot about….otherwise you’d already be supporting McCain/Palin…People like you are the reason most of us fear an Obama government…You are out of control…..

Elizabeth is getting the short end of the stick. She’s constantly interupted by the “hostess-moderator”, Whoopi, and Joy and scolded when she attempts to offer a response. Whoopi and Joy’s emotional explosiveness is so evident. If you can’t see the inequality on the show - you’re blind.

ELISABETH WAS WAY OUT OF LINE WITH THE OBAMA KOOL-AID JOKE. SHE NEEDS TO LOSS HER JOB OVER THAT ONE!!!!!!

I think Elisabeth needs to just be gone. She is the most annoying person. She is on this high horse and acts like she is like high society and educated and classy. She is some idiot who got her start on Survivor, which in itself is pathetic, who is way over opinionated and as dumb as rocks anyway. I hate watching her. I often have to turn the channel because I am not able to pull her by her hair and tell her to shut up so it’s easier to just not listen.

Great job Elizabeth. I think it’s highly unfair that the “hostess moderator” (Whoopi) is extremely biased and makes no apologies when she cuts Elizabeth off. Whoopi and Joy cut Elizabeth off frequently but ridicule her when she attempts to respond to them - “No Elizabeth…wait…I’m not done.” come on!!!

I think you girls should be nice to each other,
Joy please stop jumping on people and stop
saing nesty things about eveyone, you must be
very angry woman. Every thing is negative with
you and all those comments are not very nice.
Elizabeth will vote for McCaine and I will too, let
people make the own mind, stop being old fart,
stop being old old lady, you have lot’s of sins
just look in the mirror.

The problem with those women, they do not listen to each other, and that Elizabeth overshouts with her saliva coming out.

I am so tired of Elizabeth stupity and mouth. we need to send her back to survivor and stick her on a island, she has tunnel vision, and needs to lay off this campaign we don’t want to hear it any more, I support neither party this time around, but I am tired of her ramming McCain down our throats, you would think he was the second comming the way she praises him he is not GOD Elizabeth

Elisabeth, is a very argumentative person,she flaps off at her mouth to much like she knows everything ,and most of the time she doesn’t know what she is talking about. She needs to get her facts straight before she runs her smart mouth.

Each one of you all need to listen to each other and respect each other if you all are going to stay on the show. It would be better for you all and us the viewers. EVERY ONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION,ON EVERY THING.If you don’t like one of their opinions keep it to yourself, that would be better for everyone.Ask God to help you all.He will, He love you and will help you.

I think Joy Behar is extremely disgusting—language and conduct! No class. Bill O’Reilly is right on the money ‘Your name is Joy, be joyful’, she is everything but!!

Elisabeth has to get off her high hourse and relize that she is nobody who just likes to her herself talk over everyone else
