Producers and staff at "The View" want nothing to do with former co-host Meghan McCain as the ABC talk show plans its 30th anniversary celebration next season, according to anonymous sources who paint a picture of lingering resentment on both sides.

Multiple people connected to the show told Page Six that McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain and the panel's most prominent conservative voice during her tenure, left behind a trail of on-set confrontations that staff have not forgotten. The sources described her as difficult to work with and alleged specific incidents of volatile behavior directed at colleagues and producers alike.

Among the claims: McCain allegedly hurled an F-word at the show's executive producer in front of the live studio audience. On another occasion, sources say she screamed "Do you know who I am?" across the stage and reminded people "who my father is." No dates were given for either alleged incident, and the sources spoke anonymously.

On-air clashes defined McCain's final years on the panel

The behind-the-scenes allegations track with tensions that played out on camera. During a 2019 on-air debate, moderator Whoopi Goldberg grew visibly frustrated with McCain and cut her off.

Goldberg told her bluntly:

"Girl, please stop talking!"

Co-host Joy Behar delivered her own memorable jab when McCain returned from three months of maternity leave. On air, Behar told her:

"I did not miss you. Zero!"

McCain left the show permanently in 2021. In her exit speech, she referred to her co-hosts as "the most talented women on all of television." Whatever warmth that farewell carried did not last.

McCain called the workplace 'toxic' and said she was punished for conservative views

That same year, McCain published an audio memoir titled "Bad Republican." In an excerpt published by Variety, she described the emotional toll of her time on the panel and disclosed that she experienced postpartum anxiety after the birth of her first child.

McCain wrote:

"As I was dealing with my own emotions, I couldn't also navigate the idea that I was hated and felt hated at a toxic work environment."

She said she quit because she felt mistreated for holding conservative values, a claim that resonated with right-of-center viewers who had watched her outnumbered and talked over for years. Whatever one thinks of McCain's on-set conduct, the show never replaced her with a comparably outspoken conservative. The current panel, Goldberg, Behar, Sara Haines, Anna Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, leans heavily in one direction.

McCain fired back at hosts after their J.D. Vance interview

McCain has not gone quietly. In June, after "The View" hosts sat down with Vice President J.D. Vance, she posted on X with a sharp critique of her former colleagues. She named all six current hosts and did not hold back.

"My biggest takeaway from Vance on 'The View' is honestly how s***ty and undisciplined the hosts STILL ARE. After all these years they still get basics [sic] facts wrong, flub easy questions and can't get through a segment without yelling at each other."

That post did not improve her standing with the show's staff. And when Page Six contacted McCain for comment on the reunion story, she responded on X with a statement that mixed pain with finality.

"As I have expressed explicitly, that was a very painful time in my life both personally and professionally... I ask only to be left alone and have no desire or plans to ever return to the show."

Executive producer says no invitations have gone out yet

Brian Teta, the show's executive producer, addressed the reunion chatter on X earlier this week. He confirmed that planning is underway but pushed back on any suggestion that the guest list is settled.

"Lots of plans are in the works, but no invites have gone out."

A rep for "The View" did not comment when reached by Page Six. So the question of whether McCain will receive a formal invitation remains open, though the anonymous sources left little ambiguity about where the staff stands.

Several details remain unclear. The sources did not specify whether they are current or former employees. The identity of the executive producer who allegedly received the F-word outburst was not disclosed, and no timeline was attached to the alleged incidents. Whether the show has made any formal decision about McCain, or whether the sources simply reflect personal preferences, is not established.

Both sides have grievances, but only one side had to defend its beliefs on hostile ground

Strip away the personality clashes and the workplace drama, and a familiar pattern emerges. A conservative woman spent years as the lone dissenting voice on a liberal panel. She was talked over, mocked on air, and, by her own account, made to feel unwelcome for the views she was hired to represent. Now the show wants to celebrate its history without her.

McCain may not have been the easiest colleague. Anonymous sources say she wasn't. She says the environment was toxic. Both things can be true. But the show's eagerness to erase the one voice that challenged its consensus tells you more about "The View" than it does about Meghan McCain.

A show that cannot tolerate a dissenting opinion at its own anniversary party is not celebrating debate. It is celebrating agreement.
