‘The View’ Hosts In Hot Water After ABC Gives Them This Warning
‘The View’ Hosts In Hot Water After ABC Gives Them This Warning
Tensions are running high behind the scenes at ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” as co-hosts reportedly face pressure to ease up on their attacks against President Trump. The push for a softer approach comes as ABC undergoes significant staff layoffs, creating a tense atmosphere among the show’s production team.
According to an insider, the show’s executive producer, Brian Teta, has asked the panel—Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro—to tread carefully when discussing the 47th president. The directive reportedly came in the weeks leading up to Trump’s inauguration, signaling a shift in ABC’s handling of political discourse.
While “The View” continues to draw in an impressive 2.6 million viewers in the last four weeks, the mood behind the scenes is anything but celebratory. At least nine staff members, including veteran producers Jamie Hammer and Audrey Jones, were let go in a cost-cutting move. One insider described the decision as “shocking” and said morale has plummeted as employees worry about further cuts.
“There’s a sense of unease. People feel like they’re waiting for the next round of firings,” the source revealed. ABC’s layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort by parent company Disney, which has been slashing jobs since last October.
Turf War Behind the Scenes
Beyond the political tensions, the cast of “The View” is also unhappy with their new studio setup. Since ABC relocated the show to its downtown Hudson Square headquarters, the co-hosts have been forced to share studio space with “The Tamron Hall Show,” leading to a clash over dressing rooms and taping schedules.
An insider revealed that the ladies of “The View” are frustrated that their high-profile guests must now share dressing areas with those from Hall’s show. The arrangement has led to scheduling headaches, with both programs vying for studio time.
“Tamron Hall thinks she’s Oprah,” the insider claimed. “She makes big demands, but at the end of the day, ‘The View’ is the network’s priority.”
However, not everyone is complaining. Another source familiar with the situation applauded both teams for working together seamlessly despite the challenges.

Staff Unhappy with ABC’s Relocation
ABC’s move to Hudson Square hasn’t just irritated “The View” hosts—it’s also been a nightmare for staffers. Employees are dealing with cramped workspaces, limited office supplies, and frustrating commutes through traffic-clogged streets near the Holland Tunnel.
“The new office is basic at best. Not enough space, no private executive suites, and barely enough desks,” one insider griped. However, a network spokesperson pushed back on that characterization, insisting there are “plenty of desks” and calling the building “gorgeous.”
Despite these reassurances, one thing is clear: tensions at ABC are far from settled.
A More Cautious Approach to Trump
With job security on the line, “The View” co-hosts appear to be rethinking their approach to Trump-related discussions. Last month, Sara Haines openly admitted she felt out of touch with the show’s audience because she and her fellow panelists didn’t support Trump.
Meanwhile, Alyssa Farah Griffin, who once worked for Trump but later endorsed Kamala Harris, recently clashed with Whoopi Goldberg over the need to engage with conservative voters. “Democrats have to be willing to go to uncomfortable spaces,” Griffin said, acknowledging that she agreed with some of Trump’s policies.
For now, “The View” is at a crossroads. Will it continue its historically aggressive stance against Trump, or will ABC’s shake-ups force a change in tone? One thing’s for sure—the drama isn’t just playing out in front of the cameras.
