Joy Behar Hints at 'Mean Girls' on The View Stage
19 Oct
Summary
- Joy Behar alluded to 'mean girls' among show panelists.
- Meghan McCain left The View after citing a toxic environment.
- Behar and McCain had notable public disagreements on air.
As The View celebrates its 30th season, current co-host Joy Behar has alluded to past 'mean girl' dynamics among the show's panelists. Behar, an original host who returned in 2015, made these comments in a recent interview, sparking renewed discussion about on-air relationships.
These remarks inevitably bring to mind Behar's history with former co-host Meghan McCain. McCain, who joined The View in 2017, left the show in July 2021. She cited a desire to care for her baby and a difficult experience on the series, describing it as isolating due to her political views and alleging a toxic work environment.
ABC executives denied McCain's claims of a toxic atmosphere. The ongoing debate questions whether Behar's 'mean girls' comment directly refers to McCain, given their documented on-air clashes. McCain has stated she has no plans to return for the show's current 30th season.
