"The View": Week Of 4/8/2019

[Medicine Crow]

If Sunny had any backbone, she should have told Miss Meggie not to invoke their tenuous friendship (Sunny & I this, Sunny & I that) to let everyone think she gets along with everyone but Joy!!!

[blondiec0332]

Meghan is worse than Elisabeth.  Elisabeth might have been a partisan bitch but I don't think she let that influence how she treated her co hosts.  Her blow up with  Rosie might have been the exception. 

Meghan hates Joy for the simple reason she isn't part of her team.

[Miss Slay]

I also have to say that I think Elizabeth was better than Meghan. She atleast tried to get along with the other co-hosts. With the exception of Rosie, Elizabeth got along with the other panelists: Meredith,Joy, Star,Whoopi, and was even in Sherri's wedding.

For me the View, needs to have some chemistry between the hosts, and works best when you can believe that they are actually 5 friends who can sit around a coffee table and chat about what's happening in the world.

I don't for a minute believe that the current panel would hang out if they weren't being paid to. Oh also, Elizabeth was willing to talk about other non-political topics. Meghan has declared she in uninterested in any other topic.

*Sigh* Meghan's got me singing the praises of Elizabeth. Who would have thought?

[atlantaloves]

Has somebody got a clip of RBM being uber nasty they can post here, so I don't have to watch this turd fest. Oh man, I am so mad, and I haven't even seen it yet.  Thanks friends!💋

Meghan, get this through your "thick conservative, border state, military family" head, Joy makes this show and is the main reason we watch it. 

Part of your job is to listen to us!  I will say, you think you are quite important so in the famous words of Bitsy, "F--k that"!

You can put that in the New York Fucking Post! 😉

Also, Joy is done with her.  She will be cordial and professional with her at work, but, Nutmeg will never hang out with her at her home like Sunny and Anna. Joy offered her guest bedroom to Anna because she did not want her flying to Florida on that plane that had crashed. 

And, as someone mentioned upthread - Meghan better not hold her breath waiting for that lasagna.  (Maybe Joy should make her one, and stick some ex-lax or something in there!)

Start watching at about 5:07 into this Twitter clip....
 

[atlantaloves]

Well for me, Joy's poop doesn't stink, so that would work for a special dish for RBM, ala The Help! DO IT JOY!

[atlantaloves]

Jaded: you are a doll, thanks for the clip....THERE ARE NO WORDS...okay, that's it, she needs to be fired TODAY...that was horrible, poor Joy...oh man, I am actually shocked.  Yep, the C word applies totally with that pig.

The clip that Jaded just posted, it's there about 5 minutes in, it's horrible.

[SPinCA]

The facial expressions of Sunny and Abby after she said it. 

[SunFun]

First of all, IMO, Megan and Elisabeth are equally awful. Different ways, but both awful. 

That said, I think what Megan did today should get her fired. I can't imagine the show hasn't had to talk to her about her offensive behavior, so this time s/b the final straw. She classless. At the VERY least, she owes Joy and the viewers a public apology,

Glad Whoopie stepped up. How do you like her now, Megan? Not your ally after all.

One the few days I get to see the show when aired... and the bitch was in top bitch mode. Not good.

Meghan McCain is a fucking bitch! I said that to her on Twitter and got a week's timeout. What a pig. 

[Bronzedog]

I tried to register a complaint with ABC but got a “your request cannot be processed” message.

I wonder if it was fucking or the bitch that got you the time out.

[cinsays]

Maybe Joy and Sunny and Ana can leave and start a new show called the Polite View and leave Whoopie and the ridiculously-long-fake-hair rude and unpleasant chick to continue on with this mess.

[General Days]

I had The View on as background noise when I was working, as I usually do, when I heard Meghan's (inexplicable) temper tantrum. I had to shut off the TV, because it gave me a physical reaction (stomach and head; kind of glad I don't own a blood pressure cuff).

I watched it later. Big mistake on my part.

Joy doesn't deserve that kind of shit from this political dilettante. ABC News needs to take this situation into hand.

The tantrum du jour also shows how deeply and profoundly stupid Meghan McCain is.

She didn't even understand that Joy was trying to acknowledge that there are immigration problems. Joy was then trying to say she the new guy poised to head up DHS thinks one of the ways our country can address the issue of Central American refugees to this country is by helping out with the problems in the home countries that drive people to flee them.  That's a reasonable position to present (and not particularly partisan; we use soft power all over the globe), and did not deserve Meghan's disrespect.

Now, Meghan might think they need to be addressed another way (and that's fine), but she interrupted Joy (before ultimately throwing the tantrum) instead of just shutting her yap and hearing her out, before arguing with her.

The snit-fit was just the icing on the shitcake.

I'm glad Whoopi did something, but what she did amounted to both-sides-ism. Joy deserved a stronger defense. I know Whoopi has been so sick, but if she can't handle the duties of the job, she needs some more time off.

When Joy first said she didn't remember what she was going to say, I thought she was fibbing, and that she was trying not to cry. 

I think I was wrong though, because a minute or so after, Sunny said something that prompted her memory.

Either way, ABC News,  you need to get rid of the blight on this show that is Meghan McCain. You may think she's bringing some sort of spark, but she's trying to use your show to launch her political career and will burn down the house, if that's what it takes to serve her, because in her entitled little (tiny) mind, it is all about Meghan McCain.

I wonder if they'll still like it once Joy leaves and they lose a quarter of the ratings she helped to bring back. I wish Joy would leave at this point so I could stop watching. McCain has destroyed this show with Whoopi's assistance.

I did stop watching but still read here.

I agree, I thought Joy looked like she was about to tear up too. Noooooo that can never happen to our Joy, she is the Goddess of all Things.

Agree...some hosts on the show have been let go  for far less offensive behaviour. At this point of the game,  if that obnoxious self-centered mammoth- mouth blonde bitch is pushing her weight around, is because the producers (wimp Brian,  are you listening)?  are enabling her. She’s out of control.... I lie fault with ABC.. lock the snot bitch up, throw the key in the river, and get Ana on that table full time! 

[Bronzedog]

I have no idea why Joy would sign another contract if Meghan is still on the show.  I’m sure she doesn’t need the money and she sure doesn’t need to put up with the shit that is Meghan.

I thought her voice was weak and her spirit was gone for a moment. It was more than just losing her train of thought. It must be hard to be the only OG remaining, there from Day 1, and then this whipper snapper disrespects her so blatantly and the producers seem to be allowing it. 

[Cyranetta]

I can't recall a time when I've seen such blatant disrespect as was shown by *that woman*. Talk about dropping a turd in the punchbowl! I suspect Joy was in shock because she couldn't believe her ears, and given her long career in the realm of comedy where hecklers a a fact of life, that's saying something.

I agree that she needs time off.   ALL time off.  She handles the duties of the job as she has created them.  She initiated Meghan's hiring and she will coddle her "babe" until she and Meghan are the only two women left sitting at the table.  Meghan is a disrespectful snotty entitled bitch and Whoopi is just like her...just older.

I loathe her so much that there are no words vile enough in the English language to begin to describe it.   Today was just about the last straw for me.   I cut her NO slack at all after this.   I don't care who in her family dies or what catastrophe befalls her.   She deserves every ounce of  pain and sorrow she ever experiences in life after that blatant display of entitled, f*cking bitchy, infantile brattiness.   (Too much? 😉)

I had to go back through the comments to find this one, Ladyrain. You summed it up very nicely and I feel the same way. MM will never get a moment's sympathy from me. If the show does not address this tomorrow, I will stop watching. I will still come here but I have had my fill of this kind of uncivilized behavior. If this is just ramped up drama created by producers to cause sparks and raise ratings-shame on all of them who participate in it.

Okay, so it wasn't just me.  I got a lump in my throat, you guys. I thought Joy's voice sounded thick, when she told Whoopi she couldn't remember.

I don't suppose anyone was there for today's taping? 

[27bored]

I’ll be in the minority and say I liked Meghan’s smack down. Joy is condescending and one note and doesn’t even try to have an opinion beyond “Trump sucks”. Not to get meta, but a lot of people are going to call Meghan a bitch regardless if she’s a sweet pea or not, so I’m glad she stuck up for herself. 

[HaaCHOO]

“Part of your job is to listen to me.” 

          “Part of your job is to listen to me.” 

                    “Part of your job is to listen to me.” 

WHAAAAAATTT?   Who even thinks something like that unless she is in charge (contractually)?

• Meghan is not Joy's  superior.
• Joy does not report to Meghan (or Whoopi!)
• Meghan can never rise to be Joy's intellectual equal.
• Meghan is subpar to Joy Behar in every aspect of a decent American life.

Give that snot a big and memorable going-away party!

Stuck up for herself for what? She’d had her chance to speak and it was Joy’s turn. Joy should be able to say what she has to say without being interrupted by that self entitled brat.

Meghan couldn't hear didn't listen to Joy's reasonable discussion point because that was not what she wanted to hear.  She is so caught up in her own reading blue cards/making talking points she can't stand that someone else may have something more logical or reasonable to say.  I think Meghan tries to get her comments from the blue cards to on screen so that maybe one day, some news channel (Fox?) may decide to use her comments in a sound byte.

"We should give homes to Nicaraguans?"  she asked incredulously - well, no, you fucking dimtwit, not ALL Nicaraguans!!  And, Joy wasn't saying that was what SHE believed should be done.  Joy was just trying to relay what she had read regarding the beliefs of/or comments made by the new/acting Chief of Homeland Security.

I'm still so outraged by her disdain and disrespect for Joy.  I know it's not going to happen, but Joy deserves a public apology on tomorrow's show.  Oh, wait - another day of nasty treatment of Joy by Meghan - does that mean Meghan will be out sick tomorrow?

Except that's not what happened today, at all. 

Did you watch the segment?

Joy was somewhat hopeful about Fräulein Nielsen's replacement.

It's also not what happened, because Meghan didn't smack anyone down. She acted like a 7th grader who got offended because she couldn't understand what the teacher was talking about.

Whoopi then put Meghan in her place (a little too diplomatically for my taste, but she's old, sick, and tired of McCant's shit, I'm sure). 

I did enjoy Joy's face right after Meghan once again revealed how incapable she is of doing this job.

NutMeg didn't stand up for herself, she was rude and she was wrong.  She did her rat-a-tat tat blue card spiel, and when Joy said something while she was speaking she said: let me finish, and continued on.  However, when Joy was making her point, NutMeg did her usual muttering of partisan comments.  Joy said that she listened to her, and to let her finish her point.  A normal person would recognize that she had interrupted Joy after she asked her not to interrupt her.  But NutMeg is not normal, she is a child, so she tells Joy it is part of her job to listen to her.  That was not a smackdown, it was just completely unprofessional and rude.  Just as it was last week when she muttered that she misses Whoopi when she's not there.

Joy's reaction was stunned anger.  She didn't seem to me like she was going to cry, but she just looked at her as though she was stunned, but also angry.

Whoopi must have known about last week's childish behaviour and that is why she gave the reprimand, but NutMeg won't get the fact that it was about her.

BTS today must have been something.

I understand your feeling that Joy is very one note when it comes to Trump, as in she firmly believes he sucks and clearly has no problem expressing that opinion, but this conversation had NOTHING at all to do with Joy's feelings about Trump.  

Joy was once again disrespected by a supposed colleague, in a very condescending manner, on live TV.  An entitled brat who thinks her words and time to say them are more important than anyone else's on the panel rudely "schooled" a more experienced panel member on what her job is (or what Meghan thinks Joy's job is).  She continuously rudely interrupts others (especially Joy), but cannot/will not allow anyone to interrupt her.

The fact that Meghan habitually is rude to Joy on live TV, shows her to be unprofessional and inexperienced in live TV and maybe should be removed from her seat here until she learns how to be part of a multi-host panel discussion .

Wow. 

I didn't see anything close to that.     I saw:

Meghan talked, a lot. 

JOy started to give her opinion, Meghan interrupted 

Joy asked Meghan to let her finish, said "I listened to YOU," (implying that now Meghan could listen to her).

Meghan said "part of your JOB is to listen to me." 

SO, where and how was Meghan sticking up for herself?  

[sevenrings]

Meghan was insufferable today. Not that she's very tolerable any days, but her utter disrespect and childishness was disgusting today. I wish Whoopi wouldn't have stepped in and let Joy tear her to shreds. For one, how disrespectful of somebody less than half Joy's age to talk to her like that. Secondly, Joy is a media and TV veteran who worked her way to where she is. Meghan is a rich privileged woman who got to where she is for no other reason than her last name, and she should know her place. Lastly, yes Meghan, it is Joy's job to listen to you and everybody else at the table's view, but it's your job to SHUT UP and not interrupt people with your loud shrill voice and do the same. 

Also a quick question: I'm a new viewer of The View. I always watched it on and off for years and watched clips on YouTube but this season is the first I've been an avid daily watcher. So my question: does The View air in the summer too? Or will they take a hiatus and return in the fall?

[atlantaloves]

I don't do Twitter or even Facebook because I am old and mind my own business, but gals and guys, what's going on with Twitter after this horrible mess today? I NEED TO KNOW.  I AM STILL SO MAD I CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT.  Thanks guys. KIsses.👄

Just imagine, if the co-hosts were changed, how Whoopi would've acted if, say, Sunny had said that to her. Whoopi would've stopped the show. Sunny would've been made to apologize when they came back from break.

Sunny would never do that to Whoopi (or anyone else).  But if she did Sunny would apologize on her own, as she is a decent person and acting like MM would be completely out of character for her.  

I saw it differently I guess than others.  Because Whoopi appeared glance first at Joy, as to check on her, but then she looked directly at MM when she was talking.  She said everyone gets a chance to speak and you don't get to comment if you don't like what's said.   That comment was directed toward MM not Joy.   Then when she was done she gave the floor to Joy.  

Whoopi tries to keep the peace on the show.  Sometimes she does it by babying MM.  But she's verbally smacked her down on more than one occassion when she's gone too far.   Both Sunny and Whoopi deal with MM with a softer touch than Joy and Anna.   But that's almost by necessity.  Otherwise someone would have physically smacked her on air : )

I agree. The way Whoopi was eyeing Joy the whole time made me feel like she was trying to not upset or offend Meghan. Whoopi does always seem to go out of her way to never upset Meghan. She seemed to be telling Joy (through eye contact lol) "be mature, just ignore her, move on" type of thing. That's what I took from it.
