'The View' conservative cohost has 'cried at this job' backstage 6 times over having 'the only opinion that's different'

The View's conservative cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin has felt the heat of the Hot Topics table, and on Wednesday, she revealed she doused the flames of differing politics with a few backstage tears over the years. During a discussion on the episode about younger generations creating safe spaces for themselves to cry at work amid difficult situations, legal expert Sunny Hostin kicked off the chat by saying, "I've never felt the luxury to be able to cry at work. I just try to get my work done, be as excellent as I can, and go home and chill out." Griffin, 36, jumped in to admit, "I cry at work," but that she hides it "so my bosses will never know." After her colleagues expressed shock over her admission, Griffin doubled down, telling them, "I have cried at this job at least a half a dozen times, are you kidding? Have you done this job?" She then cued up a meme from The Simpsons on a screen behind her, and quoted the animated program as she said, "This is where I come to cry. Cool. That's like, every corner of this building." Griffin, whom has regularly clashed with the cohosts over topics related to the 2024 presidential election, elaborated that "this is a very hard job to do," and that it's difficult to "have the only opinion that's different at a table of five people" in the process. After the camera cut to producer Brian Teta watching from the sidelines, Griffin clarified her stance. "I would like to state, for the record, this is a great job, and every time I have cried, Brian gives great hugs," she said, laughing. Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a representative for The View for comment. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg looked disturbed by Griffin's words, closing the segment as she said, "The thing that shocks me is, there is nothing that people should be able to do to you to make you cry," before telling Griffin, "Let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job. Nobody." Upon joining The View full time alongside fellow Republican Ana Navarro in 2022, Griffin's first few months on the job were relatively tame. However, she and Navarro have repeatedly traded barbs on the air, including at least two instances of eye-rolling at each other on the air. In December 2023, Navarro and Griffin also clashed on air over a Hot Topics segment about toxicity in the workplace. "I can't really get a word in without you attacking me. So, I wouldn't say this is a totally different environment of women supporting each other," Griffin told Navarro, who responded by telling her, "Oh, I haven't attacked you yet." Earlier that year, Griffin engaged in perhaps her most heated on-air fight to date with Hostin, which saw the former Donald Trump associate melt down in an "absurd" disagreement."Well, Sunny likes to make it personal with me," Griffin said after feeling like she didn't receive an opportunity to respond to Hostin's claim that Griffin couldn't appropriately defend her former boss. "Are you going to give me a chance to answer? I mean, this is absurd. This is not what this show is about. This is Barbara Walters' legacy, let a woman speak!" Griffin said, before calling the show a "disgrace" before a commercial break. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Aussie mother sparks debate with ‘shocking' gift at a child's party

An Aussie mother has sparked debate by bringing her own cleaning supplies as a 'secret present' for a child's birthday party, as opposed to a more traditional gift. Perth mother Amanda Sainsbury-Salis explained on a TikTok clip she didn't want to bring gifts to a 'family birthday party', which she believed would end up in landfill. 'So, this is my secret present that I like to do at kids' birthday parties ... I like to bring a bag of rags,' Sainsbury-Salis said in her now viral TikTok clip. Sainsbury-Salis brought out a number of other little supplies, including cling wrap, which she says the hosts usually run out. Sainsbury-Salis continued: 'You know when you're at a kid's birthday party and everyone wants to help, but nobody knows how to help because they don't know where any of the cleaning stuff is? Sunrise host Monique Wright (middle) was joined by journalists Luke Bona and Susie O'Brien for Hot Topics on Friday.

'I bring a cleaning product because who knows how to find the cleaning products in someone else's house. 'And the other thing I bring is a lot, a lot of tea towels because these are really, really handy and nobody knows where to find the tea towels in somebody else's house.' On Friday, Sunrise's Monique Wright was joined by journalists Susie O'Brien and Luke Bona, who spoke about the unusual gift. 'I think you're probably wiser sticking to Lego. Just give a kid a present,' O'Brien said. 'If someone with a bag of cleaning products I would say 'come on in, friend! Start on my pantry. Work your way through!' 'I have friend who turns-up to my house for dinner and they go 'could I repack your dishwasher? I don't like the way you have done it.' The mother said she takes a bag of rags to the child's birthday party. Credit: Seven 'Clearly, my standards aren't as high as some peoples! 'You want to clean at my house? Come on in!' Bona laughed off the idea of turning up to a kid's party with a bag of cleaning rags. '(She should have put something in there) like a dust buster. 'A Kmart dust buster. Don't go the Dyson. 'Could I just say this: 'can that woman's child be invited to a birthday party at my place twice a week?' 'That would be amazing!'

Whoopi Goldberg calls out 'The View' cohosts over 'fake' Donald Trump vs. Elon Musk feud: 'Y'all bought into it'

Whoopi Goldberg told her View cohosts that they "bought into" a "fake" feud between Donald Trump, Elon Musk. "It's not fake," former Trump associate Alyssa Farah Griffin said. "You're giving him too much credit." Trump and Musk sparred on social media over political View's Whoopi Goldberg doesn't trust Donald Trump — even when he's feuding with his 2024 presidential election ally Elon Musk. On Monday's live show, the Oscar-winning Ghost actress held firm in her belief that Trump's recent headline-making clash with Musk — the billionaire who helped Trump win the race against Vice President Kamala Harris — isn't real. "In this fight, my money is on Donald Trump, though, because he clapped back and said he'll go after Elon's Pentagon contracts," former Trump associate and current conservative View cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin said during a Hot Topics discussion about the feud, which prompted Goldberg to push back against her. "I love that y'all bought into it," the 69-year-old said. Griffin countered, looking toward Goldberg as she stressed, "It's not fake," with the actress hitting back when she repeated, "I do believe it's fake. Yes, I do. It's too strategic." The Republican panelist said she felt that Goldberg was "giving him too much credit" in assuming that he'd concocted his feud with Musk — an assertion Goldberg staunchly opposed. "No, no, no. I just feel like, oh, suddenly everybody's upset about stuff. I'm sorry, no," Goldberg replied. "This is another distraction to keep us talking — not about the stuff we're talking about, but the stuff they want us to. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it because they lie." She finished, "I don't believe anything they say anymore because they've shown themselves not to be the most trustworthy people you want." Late last week, Trump and Musk sparred over the former's proposed "big beautiful bill," with Musk taking issue over the proposed bill's impact on the federal deficit. In response, Musk claimed that Trump's administration withheld information indicating that Trump was mentioned in records related to child sex offender Jeffrey a subsequent interview with Theo Von, Vice President JD Vance responded to the claim, saying, "Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein." When reached for comment on Goldberg's assessment and Musk's claim that Trump was associated with Epstein, the White House press team provided Entertainment Weekly with an unrelated statement from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The statement indicated that Trump "will continue the important mission of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from our federal government," though it did not answer EW's inquiries directly. EW has additionally reached out to representatives for Musk for comment. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
