The decision not to renew their contracts comes amid growing rumors that the show’s producers are eager to shift its tone and direction. An insider close to the production revealed that the move is part of a broader effort to “clear out toxic personalities” from the program, signaling a major overhaul in how “The View” will operate moving forward.
Whoopi Goldberg, who joined “The View” in 2007, has long been known for her sharp wit and strong opinions on the show. She has been a powerful voice on the panel, often steering conversations on critical social and political issues. Joy Behar, the only original panelist left since the show’s inception in 1997, is equally known for her comedic timing and candid perspectives, making her a beloved figure among many viewers.
However, both hosts have also faced their share of controversies. Goldberg has been criticized for her sometimes polarizing remarks, and Behar has also been at the center of several on-air disputes. While their candidness has been a hallmark of the show, it seems that this very quality may have led to the decision to part ways.
