Meghan McCain Denies Rumors Of Behind-The-Scenes Drama On ‘The View’
Meghan McCain denied rumors of behind-the-scenes drama on The View during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the nightly Andy Cohen Bravo talk show.
Meghan was asked by a viewer who called in about the many rumors that have surfaced regarding her treatment off-camera by her co-hosts and fellow panelists, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar.
The viewer commented that with so much conflicting information in the press, they wanted to know directly from Meghan if her fellow panelists speak to her off-camera.
Meghan emphatically denied any rumors of tension between herself and her fellow co-hosts of the hot-topic ABC daytime talk series.
“Good Lord, yes. Anyone who comes to the show… Joy and I are oftentimes in the corner talking about things we hit and things we missed during the break,” stated Meghan to Andy.
“I think I was called, like, the ‘lone wolf.’ Obviously, I’m the ‘lone wolf.’ I am the only conservative on the show. We are going to disagree on things,” Meghan continued.
When Andy asked Meghan if the show is going to fill the seat vacated by Abby Huntsman — who left the series in January to work on the gubernatorial campaign for her father, John Huntsman — with a fellow conservative, Meghan replied that she hoped so, claiming “it’s rough out there.”
She also noted she would love to sit at the table with a person who shared a similar viewpoint to her own.
To date, The View has not officially commented on when they will bring a new co-host to replace Abby. They continue to rotate guest panelists, and political commentator Ana Navarro is added to the table on Fridays.
Meghan is regularly in the news for clashing with her co-hosts on air.
Whoopi Goldberg put rumors of internal strife to rest during a live show in late December 2019 where she directly addressed those who continue to publish stories regarding issues between the women.
This statement came after a passionate conversation between Whoopi and Meghan on the topic of politics.
Whoopi and Meghan both addressed the audience after the incident.
The EGOT winner remarked that just because there was a heated exchange between the panelists did not mean that the women can’t sit around and talk. Nor was it an indication that they do not know how to deal with each other off-camera.
McCain assured the audience that she and Whoopi get along.
“I love you very much. I’ve loved you for a long time. You were good friends with my dad. We fight like we’re family. It’s all good,” McCain told the series moderator.
