It’s hard maintaining friendships, regardless if you are working with someone in front of or behind the cameras. Seeing how Meghan McCain had so many on-air clashes with her co-hosts during her years on “The View” a lot of people can’t help but wonder if she’s still friends with Whoopi Goldberg. Here’s what she has to say.
In her new audio memoir Bad Republican, Meghan opened up about the good, the bad and the downright ugly when it came to working with Whoopi.
Are Meghan McCain And Whoopi Goldberg Still Friends?
As many fans can recall, Meghan and Whoopi got in plenty of heated debates, seeing how she was the only conservative voice on the show. After she left “The View,” Meghan says that Whoopi did reach out to her.
“We just had a really lovely conversation when I left and she sent me some really lovely text messages and then, I — I obviously don’t want to reveal too much — but I really wish Whoopi all the best,” she says. “I will always love her. I think she probably still has love for me some place too and I think she has the hardest job on that show. She is the moderator, she is in charge of so many things, we all make mistakes and again, I really don’t have any ill will, and I think that show is going to be on for another 50 years. I think that she is going to be on when I am an old lady.”
And while Meghan said she doesn’t have any ill feelings towards any of her old co-hosts, she said Joy Behar telling her that she didn’t miss her after her maternity leave was one of the reasons why she decided to put in her resignation.
“I talk about the moment I decided to leave, which was the moment that I think if you’re a big The View fan, you probably remember was when Joy told me she didn’t miss me, and that she didn’t miss me zero, and I was going through postpartum anxiety,” she recalls. “I had just come back from maternity leave — it was my second day back — and it was sort of booked between that moment when I first came back, that happened, and then the insurrection on the Capitol happened, so it was a very, very hard week to come back from maternity leave. And I just felt in the moment … I started crying and I had a panic attack in my office downstairs afterwards. I threw up … it was a total mess. And I say in the book that it just was no longer worth it to me what I was giving up personally.”
