The big news on The View this week had to do with Alyssa Farah Griffin, who made a not-so-unexpected exit to attend to the birth of her first child last week. While congratulations are due to the new mom, the even bigger news is the talk show bringing in big names like Savannah Chrisley and former host Elisabeth Hasselbeck to fill her shoes.
Savannah Chrisley has already issued a warning about refusing to “shrink her values” on the show when she appears, but apparently that’s not even what caused the most controversy amongst The View viewers. Instead, people are up in arms about Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s return. Executive producer Brian Teta spoke with Joy Behar about the “backlash” Hasselbeck’s name has been receiving online, and Behar seemed surprised by the discourse.
