It’s official: panic is setting in at the Walt Disney Company and ABC. The once-mighty “The View” is floundering like never before, and for the first time, the show’s outspoken hosts are admitting what audiences have long suspected. In a shocking turn, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg have come clean about the behind-the-scenes chaos, the political plotting, and the real reason viewers are switching off in droves. The secret is out—and it’s uglier than anyone imagined.

A Ratings Meltdown No One Can Ignore

Let’s start with the numbers. “The View” is suffering its worst ratings in history. Not only are the usual suspects like Jimmy Kimmel and “Good Morning America” struggling, but “The View” has managed to alienate even its most loyal fans. The reason? Years of relentless political grandstanding, personal vendettas, and a shift so far left that even die-hard viewers are finally tuning out.

Behind the scenes, Disney CEO Bob Iger is reportedly scrambling for answers. Tensions are boiling over between Iger and the show’s hosts, as finger-pointing and blame games become the new normal. The hosts—once untouchable queens of daytime TV—are now caught in a storm of their own making.

The Political Gamble That Backfired

In a rare moment of candor, Joy Behar recently told viewers, “It’s completely irresponsible for people to say what we’re doing on The View is wrong or shouldn’t be political. This political shift was a direct decision from Bob Iger. We thought it was right to call out President Trump and his terrible policies. It was good for ratings, good for business, and good for America.”

But here’s the twist: what was supposed to be a ratings goldmine has turned into a disaster. Even Behar admits she’s “choked up” over the show’s plummeting metrics, blaming “MAGA Republicans” and Trump’s allies for spreading “lies” that have supposedly sabotaged the show. It’s a stunning confession—one that lays bare just how personal, and how desperate, things have become.

Sunny Hostin Doubles Down—But Admits Regret

Sunny Hostin didn’t hold back either. “I’m a damn powerful woman, activist, and feminist,” she declared, “but it pains me to say our metrics are off, maybe because of my extreme views on Trump. But I’ll never apologize to his supporters.” Hostin, too, pointed the finger at Trump and his supporters, insisting that “exposing Trump was good for ratings” and that the show’s troubles are the fault of the “MAGA crowd.”

She even admitted that sometimes, “you have to trick your audience to expose MAGA for who they really are,” and that provoking viewers was part of the plan. But with the show’s funding drying up and the cultural tide turning, even Hostin seems rattled by how badly the gamble has backfired.

Orchestrated by Bob Iger—And Now Everyone Knows

The most jaw-dropping revelation? Both Behar and Hostin confirmed that this political hard-left turn was orchestrated from the very top—by Disney CEO Bob Iger himself. It wasn’t just about ratings; it was personal, for Iger and for the hosts. Attacking Trump, stirring up controversy, and targeting conservative voices like Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a business move—it was a mission.

Now, with the ratings in freefall and Disney’s finances in crisis (thanks to other flops like Disney+ and the DEI agenda), the hosts are suddenly trying to appear “transparent.” But their confessions only confirm what millions suspected: it was all a calculated, top-down strategy to go after Trump and his supporters, no matter the cost.

Desperation Sets In, But Is It Too Late?

The View’s hosts are now openly admitting that their politics are personal, their attacks deliberate, and their strategy a spectacular failure. With Bob Iger’s time as CEO ticking down to 2026 and Disney’s empire under siege, “The View” has become the poster child for what happens when daytime TV puts politics above everything else.

The question now: can anything save “The View” from itself? Or is this the final act for a show that once ruled daytime television—brought down by its own arrogance and the very culture war it tried to ignite?

Either way, the secret is out, and there’s no going back.
