Just a few months after leaving The view,, Megan McCain hits his former co-hosts in a new memoir.
In an excerpt for Variety McCain said in A bad Republican that the iconic talk show “creates drama: producers cannot control hosts, manage conflicts, or control leakage. My opinion of the show is that working at The View brings out the worst in people. “
She also said: “I believe that all women and staff work in conditions where the culture is so rotten that it feels like floating sand.
The former Fox News expert did not stop there. She aimed at the moderator Upi Goldberg, saying: “The thing about Whoopi, however, is that it gives so much power in culture and television, and once it turns against you, it can create inexplicable tension on the table. I found her open contempt for me more and more difficult to deal with over the years and it became more and more common. ”

McCain drew attention to viral moments, such as when Goldberg told a 36-year-old woman who famously and repeatedly spoke to her co-hosts, “Girl, please stop talking.” She also mentioned another moment when Whoopi responded with just “good” after a long critique by the conservative commentator.
McCain claims she was “really hurt” and says in her memoirs, “Day after day, week after week, these things have an impact.”
She also complained about the original host Joy Behar. When the 79-year-old said she didn’t miss her after she was on maternity leave, McCain said she erupted in an “uncontrollable sob” in front of the camera. According to her, she told the producers that she wanted an apology – Behar refused.
