Joy Behar Talks 'The View' Behind The Scenes Rosie O'Donnell & Star Jones Drama

When it comes to The View, there are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that fans don't always get to hear about, that is unless one of the co-stars decides to spills some secrets from the set. That is exactly what happened when veteran View panelist Joy Behar appeared on Andy Cohen's radio talk show earlier this week. Leave it to Cohen to get some juicy details on behind the scenes drama out of the co-host. While she has been with the show for the longest, she just rejoined during season 19 after taking a couple of years break. There might be a lot to discuss with the show, including the recent Miss America controversy, but Behar stuck to talking about two of the most controversial hosts in the show's history, Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones.

According to Radar Online, Rosie might have bid ado to the program before completing a full season, but Behar didn't really see her exit as much of a surprise. When asked by Cohen if she was shocked by O'Donnell's departure, Behar simply replied, "no."

While Behar and O'Donnell are friends, the red-haired comedienne didn't really see O'Donnell meshing well with her counterparts.

The starlet prefaced her comment by saying, "She's a good friend. She's a good producer," adding, "With Whoopi [Goldberg] and her together. I don't know. Not a great combination exactly... They're both big stars and there's a power thing that would go on."

As for Jones, Behar didn't mind spilling some truth, saying that the former co-host made her co-stars say she lost her excess weight by doing Pilates instead of surgery, according to People.

"I had to say that Star Jones lost all that weight with Pilates," Behar explained. "It undid her," Behar explained of Jones' refusal to own up to getting surgery to help her lose weight.

However, she didn't have anything negative to say about her, mentioning that "She was a good panelist."
