“People forget the truth always wins in the end” – Rosie O’Donnell sends SHOCKWAVES with claims that “The View” faces looming cancellation, hinting Joy Behar’s stubbornness may be the breaking point no one saw coming until now
Rosie O’Donnell just dropped a verbal grenade that has left daytime TV fans reeling. In a candid and cutting statement, the former “View” cohost declared the show’s future is hanging by a thread, not because of ratings or network politics, but due to a deep, festering tension behind the table. According to Rosie, “The View” is simply “too much woman” for some to handle, and Joy Behar’s unwillingness to bend might be the final straw. Could it be that the show’s fiery personality—once its greatest weapon—is now its most dangerous liability? Viewers are already buzzing, questioning whether this is the beginning of the end for one of television’s most controversial roundtables.

The 63-year-old comedian and actress — who cohosted The View for two seasons from 2006-2007 and 2014-2015 — on Wednesday shared a lengthy statement to TikTok, in which she alleged that the show would come to an end following allegations of “liberal bias” on the current panel.
After moving to Ireland earlier this year to evade Donald Trump’s presidency, O’Donnell wrote that she heard that ABC is “reviewing” the alleged bias on the program. She wrote that she also learned the network will not cancel the show, “which is code for — we’re gonna cancel it we’re just trying to soften you up first.’”
“Because it’s not enough to run the country into the ground You have to control what people SEE What they HEAR What they think,” O’Donnell wrote. “And The View? Well, that’s a little too much woman — a little too much truth — a little too much Joy Behar saying ‘I don’t think the insurrection was a tourist visit, Karen.’ Apparently, the truth is dangerous now.”

O’Donnell speculated that the show’s detractors want “silence” instead of an unbiased presentation, and said she’s witnessed powerful men in boardrooms attempting to silence her and other women in the past.
“And I’ve done THE VIEW — twice I know how hard it is to get four women to agree on lunch — let alone politics So don’t tell me The View is some radical leftist threat,” continued O’Donnell. “This isn’t about bias — This is about obedience This is about removing any program that doesn’t align with Trumpism — soft fascism in full lashes with commercial breaks First they came for the journalists Then the educators Then the librarians Now, it’s Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.”
She added, “We are in a dictatorship with good lighting. I used to think the First Amendment meant something. I used to think you couldn’t just erase a voice because it made you uncomfortable. But that’s where we are. They don’t want balance. They want obedience. And they will shut down anything that reminds people of what freedom sounds like.”
O’Donnell proposed a concerning scenario, asking, “When they cancel The View— who’s gonna be left to say, ‘This is insane’?” She added of “powerful men” who decide “they’ve heard enough from women”: “When they label truth as bias, and disagreement as danger, and they start scrubbing the airwaves of anyone who makes them uncomfortable.”
She finished by imploring her followers to consider “what they’re really trying to do,” which she said amounts to getting women to be quiet and endure hardship without question.
“So no— we do not get quieter. We do not make ourselves smaller, so they can feel more comfortable. We speak louder. We take up space. We stand together and say what is true, even when it shakes the walls,” she said. “Because the most dangerous sound in the world is a woman who knows what she’s talking about — and refuses to stop.”

The View has come under fire from both audiences and political figures in recent weeks, particularly after current Republican cohost Ana Navarro criticized people for making a tourist spectacle out of the Alligator Alcatraz detainment centers in Florida.
In an exclusive statement to EW on July 11, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said that, “Every time you think Ana Navaro [sic] can’t get any dumber, she proves you wrong.”
Later, after Behar suggested that Trump was jealous of Barack Obama’s physical looks, marriage, and singing ability, the White House again released a statement to EW suggesting that The View could be “pulled off the air” over Behar, whom White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called an “irrelevant loser.”

At the end of July, Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr suggested on Fox News that there might be “consequences” for The View if the show does not check its liberal bias.
The View is currently on a summer hiatus and is slated to return next month for season 29. Its panel of cohosts includes the aforementioned Goldberg, Behar, and Navarro, as well as Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and former Trump White House associate Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The View (alongside its companion Behind the Table podcast) returns in September for season 29, with episodes airing at 11 a.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT on ABC.
