For nearly three decades, Joy Behar has been a staple on The View, sharing her sharp opinions and witty humor with millions of viewers. But now, the longtime cohost is pulling back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes—and it’s not all friendly debates and laughter.
In a candid revelation, Behar admitted that over the years, some of her former The View cohosts were downright “mean” at the Hot Topics table. During a recent discussion on the show, she reflected on her 28 years of experience and didn’t hold back about the tension that often brewed behind the scenes.
“There were a couple of people who were mean,” Behar confessed, without naming names. “I’m not going to say who, but you know who you are.”
While the panel is known for its heated debates, Behar’s comments suggest that some of the conflicts weren’t just for the cameras. Fans of the show have long speculated about rumored feuds between cohosts, and Behar’s latest remarks seem to confirm that some past tensions ran deeper than what viewers saw on screen.
Over the years, The View has seen a revolving door of cohosts, including outspoken personalities like Rosie O’Donnell, Meghan McCain, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Star Jones. Some of these former cohosts have openly spoken about behind-the-scenes drama, with McCain famously detailing her rocky relationship with Behar and Whoopi Goldberg in her 2021 memoir Bad Republican.
Despite the clashes, Behar remains one of the show’s most enduring figures, offering her signature blend of humor and political insight. When asked how she has managed to survive the drama and stay on the panel for so long, she joked, “I just keep coming back. They can’t get rid of me!”
Her remarks have set social media abuzz, with fans speculating about which former cohosts she was referring to. Many have praised Behar for her honesty, while others are eager to hear more details about the behind-the-scenes drama that has kept The View at the center of pop culture conversations for decades.
