EXPLOSIVE MELTDOWN ON SET: Fox News’ Kennedy SCREAMS at Joy Behar, Calls Her a “TALKING HEMORRHOID IN A RED WIG” During The View Audition! Is This the End of Daytime TV as We Know It?

MSN

A SCANDAL THAT’S MELTING DAYTIME TELEVISION FROM THE INSIDE OUT

In a moment that no one saw coming—but no one will ever forget—Fox News personality Lisa Kennedy Montgomery (known simply as Kennedy) detonated a verbal bomb during a private on-set audition for The View, hurling one of the most savage insults in daytime TV history at longtime co-host Joy Behar.

According to multiple on-set witnesses, Kennedy screamed across the stage, calling Behar a “talking hemorrhoid in a red wig”—sending the studio into immediate chaos.

Now the question racing through every newsroom and social media feed in America is: What the hell just happened behind the cameras of The View—and will anyone survive it?

 THE ATTACK THAT SHOCKED ABC

Sources close to the production say tensions were already high as Kennedy—known for her sharp libertarian takes and fearless commentary on Fox—was invited for a “chemistry test” as a possible new guest contributor on The View.

But the moment she stepped onto the infamous stage, things spiraled into televised warfare.

Witnesses claim Kennedy took issue with a question Behar lobbed during a segment rehearsal, reportedly accusing Kennedy of being “just another angry conservative trying to rebrand with eyeliner.”

Kennedy didn’t just snap. She exploded.

“You’re nothing but a talking hemorrhoid in a red wig pretending to be relevant,” Kennedy allegedly screamed, her voice shaking the rafters. “Your show is toxic, your takes are prehistoric, and you think shrieking like a dying seagull makes you ‘progressive’?”

Studio crew reported gasps, dropped clipboards, and stunned silence from the audience warm-up team.

 IS ‘THE VIEW’ A TOXIC WAR ZONE?

Kennedy didn’t stop at Behar. In a later unfiltered social media post, she claimed the entire environment at The View felt “radioactive with backstabbing, ego, and faux feminism.

Her words sparked an online firestorm, with insiders anonymously confirming long-standing rumors that guest hosts often leave the show “emotionally bruised and professionally blacklisted.”

One former contributor revealed to a tabloid: “You walk in thinking you’ll have a fun coffee-table chat. You leave wondering if you need a lawyer, a therapist—or both.”

Kennedy now claims she was set up, alleging ABC wanted to create a “headline moment” by baiting her into conflict with Behar. But if that was the plan, it backfired—spectacularly.

 JOY BEHAR: VILLAIN OR VICTIM?

The internet is split.

On one side, you have Joy Behar loyalists who say Kennedy’s behavior was repulsive, unprofessional, and borderline abusive.

No one gets to scream vulgar insults at an 81-year-old woman on national television and walk away a hero,” one X user wrote.

But others argue Joy has a long, documented history of throwing passive-aggressive punches—and Kennedy simply had the guts to swing back.

“Joy plays sweet for the cameras, but she’s a real shark off-set,” claimed a former PA. “Kennedy just pulled off the mask.”

So who’s the real villain? The aging liberal firebrand who’s ruled The View for decades? Or the Fox News rebel who dared to challenge the throne?

 IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR ‘THE VIEW’?

With audiences increasingly turning to podcasts and streaming, The View has relied on manufactured controversy to stay relevant. But did this one go too far?

ABC has yet to issue a formal statement, but anonymous sources say executives are in crisis mode, especially as Kennedy’s rant continues to trend across platforms.

They wanted fireworks. What they got was a nuclear blast.

There’s now talk of internal investigations, sponsor pullbacks, and even threats of lawsuits from both parties. Some are even whispering that this may be the final scandal that breaks the back of the once-iconic talk show.

 IS THERE A DARKER AGENDA AT PLAY?

Of course, where there’s drama, there’s always conspiracy. And this one’s spiraling fast.

Was Kennedy planted by Fox to sabotage The View from the inside?

Did Joy Behar push too hard, hoping to trigger a meltdown and boost ratings?

Is this all a pre-scripted circus to revive interest in both failing brands?

Social media theorists are having a field day.

Kennedy’s explosion was too perfect—it felt staged, almost WWE-like,” posted one TikTok commentator. “This isn’t drama. This is distraction. What are they hiding?

Theories range from ratings desperation to a calculated media feud designed to revive both Kennedy’s and Behar’s waning public relevance.

Social media is a battlefield.

Kennedy said what we’ve all been thinking. Behar’s been untouchable for too long.

This is elder abuse disguised as television. Fire Kennedy and shut it down!

The View has been toxic for years. Kennedy just dared to light the match.

Thousands are now boycotting ABC, while others are demanding a new show—hosted solely by Kennedy—to “burn down the fake feminist empire.”

 WILL BEHAR STRIKE BACK?

Joy Behar has been surprisingly silent in the aftermath. No tweets. No Instagram rants. No sarcastic monologues. And that silence? It’s terrifying.

Insiders suggest she’s preparing a televised counterattack that could destroy Kennedy’s career permanently.

But with Kennedy gaining traction from conservative circles and even a few libertarian feminists calling her “a truth-teller in a den of vipers,” Behar might have finally met her match.


 FINAL THOUGHT: WHO WILL SURVIVE THE FALLOUT?

This wasn’t just a celebrity feud. It was an earthquake that shook the foundations of mainstream media.

Is Kennedy a reckless villain—or a rebel exposing rot?

Is Behar a victim of abuse—or the queen of mean finally dethroned?

Is The View collapsing—or evolving into something darker, louder, and more dangerous?

One thing is clear: This isn’t over. Not by a long shot.

Stay tuned. This drama’s just getting started—and the next explosion may be even louder.
