DEFAMER EXCLUSIVE: Backstage Elisabeth/Joy Blowup Rocks ‘The View’
A lot of fighting happened in front of the cameras on today’s heated installment of The View, but according to a tip we just received from a Defamer operative, it was nothing compared to what went on after the show was over. Our tipster says that Elisabeth Hasselbeck was upset that Joy Behar has been using The View to tout Behar’s upcoming stand-up performance, and the conservative co-host demanded equal time in a confrontation that got ugly:
After “The View” went off the air today, Joy and Elisabeth WENT AT IT backstage!!!!!
Joy jumped in Elisabeth’s face about a comment she made about Joy not being able to plug her appearances because her act is “political in nature.” This was in response to the controversy about the McCain t-shirt Elisabeth wore on the air on Tuesday.
Joy SCREAMED in Elisabeth’s face, “If you do that again I will burn you down.” Elisabeth turned beet red and started to stammer out something. And then Joy yelled, “Shut the fuck up” and stormed off.
Nobody backstage came to console Elisabeth who was left standing there. Not even Barbara. Not Sherri either.
If anyone else bore witness to the View battle royale, be sure to send us your accounts. Somewhere, a gratified Star Jones is surely cooing “Excellent,” while indulging in a gastric bypass-approved, icy-cool dish of sweet revenge.

They call it the View, being comprised of “many different” views. Barbara Walters prides herself on her idea to have several women with different views. Every woman at the table all agree with eachother except Elizabeth. So, Barbara should say she has a show with four women that all agree with each other, and then devour Elizabeth day after day. I don’t know how she (Elizabeth) does it, but she has a whole lot of people rooting for her. She has more class then all the other ones put together. Joy has gotten to the point that she is almost as crude and rude as Rosie Odonnell was on the show. Barbara trys to act like she doesn’t want to say which “side” she’s on, but it’s obvious. Even the audiance is made up of extreme liberals. All I can say is they’re are a whole lot of great people praying for and rooting for Elizabeth Hasselback. What a horrible and unfair place for her to have to be but boy does she ever hold her own in the lion’s den. The venom has been fierce and relentless but hopefully when the polls are shut down and it’s all over, Joy and the rest of them will be eating crow when John Mc Cain and Sarah Palin are our new President and Vice President of the United States. If not, God help us!!!!! Elizabeth, Be Blessed. I tune in just for you. I have lost respect for the others. PS Let’s get some conservatives in the audience for this show called the “View” thats supposidly made of of different views. Get some different views in the audience too so they aren’t just agreeing with everything Joy spews out. I don’t think I’m the only one that feels this way either. Remember when Al Gore and George Bush were running against each other, the liberal press kept saying the polls showed Al Gore ahead all the way. Not quite so huh???
