Meghan McCain is opening up about why she really quit The View and alleging the show is a toxic work environment.
In her new book, McCain writes that she left The View earlier this year because the "way I'd been treated on the show as the resident conservative" had "made it impossible for me to stay," and she describes one "heartbreaking experience" as the last straw, per Variety. Shortly after returning from maternity leave, she got into an on-air argument with co-host Joy Behar, and McCain recalls trying to "ease the tension" by saying, "Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave!" Behar, though, shot back, "I did not. I did not miss you. Zero."
The moment went viral, and McCain says it "triggered my postpartum anxiety," writing that she burst into "uncontrollable sobbing" during a commercial break and later threw up in her office.
"I can't explain it further other than I felt like in that moment I took a look at my life outside of myself and I thought clearly this s--t isn't worth this," she writes, also telling Variety "that was the day I decided" to quit.

From what I saw on The View's Facebook page, very few, and I mean VERY few, people were sad to see her go.

(32,748 posts)I don't know ... did you ever know someone who disagreed with everything that anyone else said? Just to be disagreeable? Meghan McCain is exactly that person. I find it hard to believe that she's ever been liked by anyone. I don't believe many people will read her book either.

(3,191 posts)"way I'd been JUSTIFABLY treated on the show as the resident NARCISSIST" had "made it impossible for me to GET MY WAY," and she describes one "DESERVED experience" as the last straw, per Variety. Shortly after returning from maternity leave, she got into an on-air argument with co-host Joy Behar, and McCain recalls trying to "AGITATE EVERYONE" by saying, "Joy, you DIDN"T KISS MY ASS when I was on maternity leave!" Behar, though, shot back, "I did not. I did not miss you. Zero."
The moment went viral, and McCain says it "triggered my ENTITLEMENT," writing that she burst into "PREFORMANCE sobbing" during a commercial break and later threw up in her SHOE.
"I can't explain it further BECAUSE I AM AN INARTICULATE TURD this s--t IS JUST WHO I AM ," she writes, also telling Variety "that was the day THE PRODUCERS TOLD ME" to quit.
There we go McCain, this is the correct version.

(10,885 posts)of which she now complains. It was a more pleasant show before she arrived, and certainly is much more pleasant with her gone. NO ONE misses MeAgain - then or now.

No wonder right wingers stay inside their little bubble. The echo chamber offers no rebuttal.

(8,361 posts)around. The ratings would be phenomenal, maybe that is why msm avoids forming one, prefers to keep "discussion" at baseline entertainment.

(25,618 posts)It wasn't for ratings, not acting, that's her personality. Now the show has guest conservatives and the panel has a great time because they're normal people who know how to behave like adults in public. Great show that people who normally might not pay attention to politics watch.

(40,220 posts)She would come on that show attacking people, being disrespectful and rude, and saying hurtful things with a smug look on her face. She is a mean girl who never grew up. And here she is complaining about a slight from Joy as the reason for quitting the show. Give me a break. Meghan is a spoiled brat. Always has been, is, and always will be.

Yea well, when you say nasty things about President Biden or Obama or any group of people were really love and appreciate you create negative reactions. She doesn't get that.

(11,491 posts)Most of the incidents that happened and was whiny, screaming and horrid almost daily. Joy just finally couldn't take her shit any more.
I think they let her quit but she was probably told quit or be fired. I heard new bosses listened when Whoopi and Joy said she needs to go. I wonder if they will let her lie about it.
The show is actually watchable again, Whoopi is talking again and giving her opinion, it got so bad last few years she stopped talking other than leading the group.

(153,193 posts)audio only? doesn't that make it a podcast or something? I see books as only something you can actually READ, with your eyes or your fingers
betsuni
(25,618 posts)It's weird. As if she knows nobody except her friends are going to actually listen to the thing so why bother trying to sell it. Or maybe the publisher knew nobody would buy the paper book.
