Joy Behar is sitting on loads of dirt about “The View.”
Behar, 81, revealed on Wednesday’s episode of “Behind the Table” podcast that she kept a diary and took notes on Rosie O’Donnell’s controversial tenure as her “The View” co-host.
O’Donnell, 61, appeared on the show from 2006 to 2007 and has spoken unfavorably about her time on the ABC set.
“I do know this — it’s not the perfect use of my talent to get in a show where I even have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness,” O’Donnell said, during an April appearance on Brooke Shields’ podcast, “Now What? With Brooke Shields.”
“It was not something I’d ever do again.”
At the moment, she famously had several tiffs together with her fellow co-stars, including a 2007 argument with conservative commentator Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 46.
Their dust-up began after they got right into a 10-minute shouting match concerning the Iraq war.
“At some point on the show, she sort of threw me under the bus and I used to be like, ‘Are you f–king kidding me?’ I finished the show, got my coat, walked out, and said, ‘I’m not going back’ — and I didn’t until a couple of years later after they asked me to return back. And Whoopi [Goldberg] was on it and we clashed in ways in which I used to be shocked by,” O’Donnell said.
Behar began on “The View” when it launched in 1997 and stayed for a 16-year run until she exited in 2013. After a two-year absence, she returned to the gabfest in 2015, where she’s been ever since.
“The one 12 months that Rosie O’Donnell was on the show, I kept a diary,” Behar revealed on Wednesday.
Producer Brian Teta told her that “people would go crazy” if she ever released it as a tell-all.
“I do know they’d,” she said.
“But I don’t like to do this. I don’t speak about ‘The View’ much,” she added. “Andy Cohen is on his knees begging me to do a book.”
