Last week, Page Six reported that Barbara Walters, co-creator of ABC’s The View is beyond disappointed by what ABC has done to the show since her departure, writing that she “fears the show will be remembered for its petty backstage bickering and revolving door of talent.”
A source told them:
“She feels they’ve ruined the franchise that she and Bill Geddie built. Instead of focusing on smart, educated women with strong talent, they cast uninformed child actors on the show. The legacy has been compromised because of poor casting and bad leadership under ABC News.”
When asked about this particular report during the Q&A segment on Tuesday night’s Watch What Happens Live, Julie Chen (one of the co-hosts on CBS’s View competitor The Talk, whose participants have a long history of shitting on the ABC show) said, “I believed every word I read in Page Six.” A woman after my own heart.
She went on:
“I do think Barbara Walters is probably like, ‘This amazing show I created is now just kind of withering away with a revolving door of hosts that people can’t keep straight.’ I mean, I should know all the names of the hosts, and I don’t. Because it changes so often!”
(It’s very funny that she hid the rudest comments inside speculative statements from Barbara Walters. Well done, Ms. Chen.)
