Recently, news that ABC has not renewed the contracts of two veteran hosts of ‘The View’, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, has been widely circulated on social media platforms and several websites.

These reports claim that the decision was made due to ABC’s desire to remove “toxic” elements from the show.

The rumor originated from an article published in March 2024 on the website SpaceXMania, a site that claims to specialize in satirical content.

The article claimed that ABC had decided not to renew the contracts of Goldberg and Behar due to concerns about the “toxic” environment on ‘The View’.

However, due to the satirical nature of the site, this information is not verified.

Reactions from mainstream sources

After the rumor spread, many reputable media outlets verified and refuted this information. In July 2024, Reuters published an article claiming there was no evidence that ABC had decided not to renew Goldberg and Behar’s contracts.

An ABC spokesperson also stated that the information was “not true.”

Similarly, in November 2024, PolitiFact rated the claims that ABC had not renewed Goldberg and Behar’s contracts as false. They emphasized that the information originated from a satirical website and had no basis in fact.

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar’s current status on ‘The View’

As of February 2025, both Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar continue to appear on ‘The View’ as hosts.

Their continued presence on the show suggests that rumors of them being dropped or not having their contracts renewed are not true.

Conclusion

In the digital age, it is increasingly important to distinguish between real and fake news. Before accepting and sharing information, readers should check the source and reliability of that information.

In this case, the rumors about ABC not renewing Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar’s contracts on ‘The View’ were determined to be unfounded and originated from satirical sources.
