Meghan McCain allegedly claims her former co-hosts on “The View” are why she left the show.
In August, McCain announced that she would be departing from her role as co-host on the hit daytime talk show “The View.” In her new memoir “Bad Republican,” the 36-year-old details her experiences being on the show. McCain, who was on the program for four years, alleges the program had a toxic work environment and discusses her fallouts with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
She writes that there was “toxic, direct and purposeful hostility” from Goldberg and Behar that “grew meaner and less forgiving” as Donald Trump carried on as president at the time. She says that it was “as if [she] had become an avatar for everything they hated about the president,” adding that “Whoopi and Joy saw front and center the emotional trauma [she] had experienced from President Trump’s attacks on my family.
McCain also allegedly included a story about how when she returned back to the show after giving birth to her daughter Behar told her that she didn’t “miss” her.
“Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave. You missed fighting with me,” McCain said to Behar after the two had a heated back and forth. Behar responded, “I did not. “I did not miss you. Zero.” This allegedly upset McCain, leading her ask the show’s executive producer to ask Behar to apologize, saying Behar “humiliated” her on air.
Fox News reports McCain goes on to address other moments in her life, including her controversial appearance Seth Meyer’s show in 2019, drunk tweeting in her early twenties and more.
